The incident appears to resemble cases involving so-called butsukari otoko, a term used in Japan for individuals who deliberately collide with passers-by. In such incidents, people forcefully bump into others – sometimes targeting more vulnerable individuals such as women or children – before walking away.
The issue drew international attention recently after a viral video showed a masked woman pushing a Taiwanese tourist’s child taking photos at Tokyo’s Shibuya crossing, causing the child to fall.

The incident happened in July 2024. Why make an article now?
The reason is in the post tbh
It’s getting more attention because there was an incident like this two weeks ago in Shibuya where a woman knocked over a Taiwanese kid in a crosswalk. People looking up the phenomenon, finding this example, and it, just like the incident two weeks ago, also had anti-foreigner vibes in addition to being shitty.
Came here to say that you wouldn’t believe how incredibly unaware the Japanese are when they’re walking but then I saw the video. Not only did the Japanese woman shove past the mom for NO reason, she juked hard right to hip check that poor little girl.
That bitch is a shame to our country and the government should make a public example of her. My idea, a giant stage under the 3D sign in Shibuya that’s playing the viral video while she gets caned with bamboo… slowly.
I believe that caning is far more effective when the cane is moving at a high rate of speed at the moment of impact.
We need to accelerate the cane to a high velocity towards her body, then use her body to rapidly decelerate the cane.
Well, in America we just run them over with our pickup trucks.
