He called himself “The Hanging Pro.” A man who claimed he just wanted to help people in pain. But what he really wanted was something much darker.

Between August and October 2017, Takahiro Shiraishi lured nine individuals to his small Tokyo apartment using Twitter.

Police only found him thanks to a grieving brother who refused to believe his sister had simply vanished. Inside Takahiro’s home, investigators discovered chilling evidence and a disturbing pattern: he’d been preying on the vulnerable through certain online hashtags.

Takahiro admitted to everything. He was sentenced to death, and in June 2025, Japan carried it out. But the scars he left behind still remain.

Can online platforms ever fully protect people from predators like him?
