The first trial of Aoba, who was arrested 4 years in the past in reference to the arson of the three-story KyoAni studio within the Fushimi district of town, occurred on the Kyoto District Court.

Wearing a face masks and sitting in a wheelchair through the trial, Aoba defended himself towards fees, together with “murder” and “arson.”

Aoba admitted to setting the studio on fireplace, saying, “I felt like I had no other choice but to do what I did. I didn’t anticipate that so many people could die.”

After greater than 20 hearings, a choice on Aoba’s legal accountability can be made, anticipated by the top of January 2024.

Prosecutors are stated to be looking for the loss of life penalty for Aoba.
