Nascent Drama

His trial began on March 30, 1990, during which Miyazaki often talked in a nonsensical manner. He blamed his atrocities on a "rat man" alter-ego of himself, a character which he often drew in cartoon-form for the court.
 
hroughout the 1990s, Miyazaki remained incarcerated while Saitama Prefecture put him through a battery of psychiatric evaluations. Teams of psychiatrists from Tokyo University diagnosed Miyazaki as suffering from dissociative identity disorder or extreme schizophrenia.
 
However, the Tokyo district court judged that he was still aware of the gravity and consequences of his crimes and he was therefore accountable for them, sentencing him to death by hanging on April 14, 1997. On June 28, 2001, the Tokyo High Court upheld his death sentence, and on January 17, 2006, the Supreme Court of Justice upheld the original death sentence.
 
Child killer Kaoru Kobayashi described himself as "the next Tsutomu Miyazaki or Mamoru Takuma."
 
However, Miyazaki claimed that "I won't allow him to call himself 'the second Tsutomu Miyazaki' when he hasn't even undergone a psychiatric examination.
 
Kunio Hatoyama signed his death warrant and Miyazaki was executed by hanging on June 17, 2008
 
According to The New York Times, it was suspected that his execution was related with the Akihabara massacre.
 
Japanese people suspected that because Miyazaki was a negative symbol of Otaku and Akihabara was a consecrated place of Otaku.
 
However, the Ministry of Justice said "We cannot answer." Ryuzo Saki said "his trial was long" and "I am not willing to criticize Hatoyama."
