This article is about the rising rape epidemic in Tokyo. Apparently the rapists there are using Ninja techniques: "Like Okabe, the rapists in these cases simply jumped over fences or climbed up electricity poles to circumvent the supposed preventative influence of security locks. Other rapists have used grappling hooks with rope thrown onto the top of buildings and then climbed up and down the apartment at will." Grappling hooks? Even the low-brow Japanese criminals have ninja-movie powers. I wonder if there are gangs of good ninjas who fight the ninja rapists on Japanese rooftops in the night...
