We’ve learned some tragic news – female streamer Ai Mogami has been stabbed to death while livestreaming on the popular Japanese platform Fuwachi.
Mogami (her performing name) was livestreaming near Takadanobaba station in Tokyo around 10 AM Japan time on March 11th when she was stabbed to death by a man, who is now in police custody. Ai was 22 and the man is reportedly said to be in his 40s or 50s.
Some confusion has come about during the incident due to Mogami sharing the same name with a voice actress, and unsubstantiated rumors on the relationship between Ai and the attacker. Japanese news reported on the incident:
