Former manager of Nihon University weightlifting club arrested over fraud
Tokyo police arrested a former manager of Nihon University's weightlifting club on Tuesday for allegedly defrauding the club's scholarship students of money, including by claiming the funds would go towards tuition fees. Kenji Nanba, 63, was arrested on suspicion of swindling four scholarship students out of a total of ¥2.05 million in December 2022 by saying that the money included facility costs, from which they were actually exempt. Police believe that Nanba has collected a total of about ¥38 million from 48 students over 10 years by telling similar lies. He is believed to have used swindled money to buy business suits and bags and to cover the cost of painting his luxury BMW car. According to the university, Nanba began such scams around 20 years ago or earlier, receiving a total of ¥53.2 million. The university detected the fraud during an investigation into a separate scandal, and it has fully compensated 58 parents of former club members whom it confirmed as victims. Following his arrest, the university said in a statement that it deeply apologizes to society and will continue to fully cooperate with investigative authorities. Nanba became the club's manager in April 2000. After the fraud came to light, the university dismissed him in July 2024 and consulted with police. Established in 1965, the university's weightlifting club has won the national intercollegiate championships 23 times and produced many Olympic athletes.

Dart-out cases common among schoolchildren's traffic accidents in Japan
Cases of children running out into the street accounted for more than 30% of serious traffic accidents that killed or severely injured elementary school children in Japan, a government report showed Monday. Of the 1,830 children who got into such accidents between 2020 and 2024, 613, or 33.5%, ran out into the street, according to the 2025 traffic safety white paper, adopted at the day's Cabinet meeting. The report called for promoting lectures for parents and experience-based traffic safety education to prevent accidents. According to the report, over 60% of serious accidents that killed or severely injured elementary school kids involved law violations. Dart-out cases were followed by road-crossing violations, which accounted for 16.9%. Ignoring traffic lights came next at 3.2%, and playing on the street stood at 3.1%. In contrast, about 60% of serious accidents involving 38,480 individuals across all age groups did not involve law violations. The government implemented emergency measures following a fatal drunken driving accident in which a truck crashed into a group of elementary school children in Yachimata, Chiba Prefecture, in June 2021. The white paper stated that 76,404 locations across Japan have fully or nearly completed safety measures, such as building sidewalks. The central and local governments, police and schools will conduct joint inspections to enhance safety, the report added. It also said that special areas called Zone 30, where vehicle speeds are limited to 30 kilometers per hour, had been established in 4,410 areas nationwide by the end of fiscal 2024.

Personal info leak cases hit record high in Japan in fiscal 2024
The number of personal information breach cases reached a record high of 19,056 in Japan in fiscal 2024 through March this year, according to the Personal Information Protection Commission's report adopted by the Cabinet Tuesday. The number, based on reports from business operators under the personal information protection law, increased 57% from the previous year. Personal data leaks involving My Number personal identification numbers reported under the My Number law climbed to 2,052 cases from 334 in fiscal 2023. The report said that unauthorized access to the MKSystem server, which operates systems to support personnel and labor affairs management, led to the increases. Of the cases reported under the personal information protection law, the government commission gave advice and guidance in 395 cases and issued a directive for corrective action in one case. The report showed as an example the case of Fujitsu Japan, which received guidance because its system issued a copy of the wrong person's residency certificate at a convenience store in Takamatsu, Kagawa Prefecture. "We provide guidance on safety control measures and call for attention to the issue," Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshimasa Hayashi told a news conference. "We'll respond appropriately, as we did."
