Hezumaru Ryu, ein ehemaliger lästiger YouTuber und jetzt Mitglied des Stadtrats von Nara, wurde wegen Einschüchterung strafrechtlich angeklagt. Berichten zufolge konfrontierte er in der Pause seinen Stadtratskollegen, hob die Faust in seine Richtung und schrie „aus vollem Halse“.

Isn’t he still on probation for crimes commited when he was a Meiwaku Youtuber? Jail please.

Honestly, I can’t understand what those who voted him into office were expecting.

Unsurprisingly, it’s not the first time he’s acted inappropriately in council meetings:

>*During his first general question session since being elected in July, Hezumaryu on Sept. 12 raised concerns about repeated acts of violence against deer in Nara Park and called on the city to strengthen penalties. After the mayor finished his response, the 34-year-old assembly member suddenly raised his voice and said, „How the hell can you call yourself a mayor?“*

It’s worth noting that, as far as I’m aware, there’s actually no evidence of these „repeated acts of violence“ against deer and Hezumaryu himself previously circulated a *fake* video clip that he falsely claimed was a Chinese tourist kicking a deer.
