Japanese woman allegedly cuts off boyfriend's ring finger
MANY are willing to go to great lengths to preserve their love, with some resorting to extreme measures that could be harmful to the other party. Not wanting her boyfriend to potentially move on with another, a young Japanese woman resorted to cutting his ring finger off. However, the woman has denied the claims and alleges that her boyfriend cut off his own finger. According to the South China Morning Post, the woman, identified as Saki Sato, preserved the finger in an alcohol solution and kept it in the refrigerator. The 23-year-old woman is known online for her cosplay (abbreviation of costume play) as various anime characters. Her boyfriend, 21, pursued her online after he came across her cosplay activities online in 2023 while he was studying in secondary school, and the two eventually got in a relationship. They moved in together in July 2024. As the relationship deepened, the boyfriend became more aware of her controlling nature. During the relationship, Sato is said to have kept control of his bankbook and phone, insisting he seek her permission to access them. The boyfriend reportedly stated he did not report the abuse he endured previously because of Sato's beauty and how he 'could not bring himself to leave her', as quoted. Things escalated in September 2024 when Sato allegedly came up with the idea to cut off his nipple, saying it would 'grow back', as quoted. Out of fear, he allegedly gave in. On October 19, 2024, the victim and Sato were involved in an argument about breaking up where Sato reportedly yelled: 'I do not want you marrying another woman and exchanging rings', as quoted, while cutting off the ring finger. Following the violent incident, the victim contacted the police. Police searched the flat the couple resided in and found the severed finger in the refrigerator along with his bankbook and phone stored in Sato's safe. Since then, Sato was charged with three counts of assault and indicted on April 21.

Woman 'cut off boyfriend's nipple and finger' after she looked through his phone
Saki Sato, 23, was said to have amputated her lover, 21, in a fit of jealous rage in their apartment in Osaka in October after finding an unfamiliar number in his phone contacts An obsessive girlfriend allegedly took brutal action to stop her boyfriend from leaving her - by cutting off his nipple and ring finger to keep him from marrying other women. Saki Sato, 23, was said to have flown into a jealous fit of rage after finding an unfamiliar number in her 21-year-old lover's phone. The cosplayer reportedly purchased an axe online and severed the joint of his ring finger in their apartment in Osaka in October. She then stashed the severed digit away in a glass jar in their refrigerator - and was only caught when her terrified partner called police to report her for assault in January. Police stormed the apartment in Kita City and found the man with a badly beaten face. He told officers Saki had placed his finger in an alcohol-filled container and stored it in the fridge. A search of the premises verified his claim. Police then found a series of disturbing photos on Saki's phone, including one of her humiliated boyfriend crying as he bled from his left nipple, and another of the severed finger. Saki was charged with three counts of assault and was formally indicted on April 21. Investigators said the boyfriend had been charmed by Saki's seemingly sweet and innocent looks in her online photos. They began dating in May and moved in together in July 2024. But as their relationship progressed, the man eventually learned of Saki's violent and controlling nature. While living together, the victim claimed Saki took total control - confiscating both his bankbook and phone, and forcing him to ask for permission to use them. Despite the alleged abuse, the boyfriend, afflicted with Stockholm Syndrome, said he chose to stay "because Saki was too beautiful to leave behind". He claimed he had agreed to having his nipple removed with scissors when she proposed that "a man's nipple will grow back if you cut it off". Saki, who has posted several photos of herself in various cosplaying costumes, reportedly works at a popular cabaret club in Osaka, known for its maid-themed cafes and anime culture. Her profile states that her ideal man was "someone who listens to everything she says". She has denied the charges, claiming her boyfriend had inflicted self-harm instead.

Japanese woman cuts off boyfriend's ring finger to prevent him from marrying someone else
BEIJING (SCMP): A Japanese cosplayer shocked the internet after reportedly cutting off her boyfriend's ring finger and keeping it in the fridge. The woman claimed she 'loved him too much' and did not want him to marry anyone else or exchange wedding rings. The incident came to light in January when police in Osaka, located in Japan's Kansai region on Honshu Island, received an emergency call from the 21-year-old victim, whose name has not been disclosed. He reported that his girlfriend, Saki Sato, 23, had assaulted him after an argument about breaking up and requested help. When police arrived at the flat, they found both individuals, with the man showing visible injuries on his left cheek and nose. He later told the police that his left ring finger had been cut off by Sato, and that the severed finger was soaking in alcohol in the refrigerator. A search of the flat confirmed his claim. Investigations revealed that Sato had kept the man's bank book and smartphone locked in her safe, and she had once even cut off part of his left nipple. In 2023, when the victim was 19 and still a secondary school pupil, he came across Sato's cosplay activities online and instantly fell in love with her sweet and cute appearance. After persistent pursuit, the two eventually entered a romantic relationship, and by last July, they had moved in together. However, over time, the man gradually became aware of Sato's controlling nature. Sato said that she prefers gentle, obedient 'soft boys' and dislikes domineering, macho types. She insisted on keeping his bankbook and phone, requiring him to ask for permission to use them. Last September, following an argument, Sato shockingly proposed the idea that 'a man's nipple will grow back if you cut it off,' and decided to try it on him. Out of fear, the man complied. Then, on Oct 19, last year, Sato reportedly shouted: 'I do not want you marrying another woman and exchanging rings,' as she cut off part of his left ring finger. She then placed the severed finger in alcohol and stored it in the refrigerator. The man said he had previously endured the abuse without reporting it to authorities simply because his girlfriend was so beautiful that he could not bring himself to leave her. Sato has been charged with three counts of assault and was formally indicted on April 21. She denies the charges and claims that the man cut off his own finger. In Japanese anime, a character type exists called yandere, which refers to someone who initially appears sweet, caring, and innocent but later reveals an extreme, often violent or obsessive, devotion to their lover. The story has shocked Japanese netizens, with many saying that it felt like a yandere manga character had been brought to life. One Japanese online observer said: 'I thought this was just a fictional yandere trope, but is this girl an actual criminal suspect? Reality is stranger than fiction.' It has also sparked a lively discussion on mainland social media. 'I always thought 'love you to death' was just a poetic phrase, but turns out it is actually an action,' one person said. 'Forget the yandere label, this is just psychopathic criminal behaviour,' said another. - South China Morning Post
