It looks like Kuroko No Basuke fans and especially the creator Tadatoshi Fujimaki can breathe easy as the Kuroko no Basuke threat letter writer has been apprehended by the Tokyo Metropolitan Poice.

Hirofumi Watanabe, the suspect in the Kuroko no Basuke threat letter case, admitted to all the charges in his first day in court. He added that he will accept the court's judgment and any punishment without appeal.

The Tokyo Metropolitan Police arrested the Osaka temporary worker on and accused him of sending threatening letters to convenience store chains and other establishments linked to Tadatoshi Fujimaki's Kuroko No Basuke manga.

Since October 2012, locations linked to Kuroko No Basuke creator Tadatoshi Fujimaki have received threat letters that were slathered with powdered and liquid substances that were believed to be poison. According to police investigation, there is a high possibility that the liquid sent to Sophia University on October 12, 2012 could emit a lethal dose of hydrogen sulfide if vaporized. The University initiated heightened security procedures after another round of threat letters were sent last November.

Watanabe said that he made the threats out of jealousy and for being bullied. He asserted that he was abused by bullies and his parents during childhood, and according to The Japan Times newspaper, he also asserted that he was bullied due to his "homosexual tendencies." He said that he wanted to, and tried to kill himself before making the threats, and would try to do so again when he is released from prison. "That way, society can rest assured that I won't do anything stupid again."

Upon learning about Fujimaki's successful career and life compared to his, he thought that "if I somehow managed to harass and depress him, I could drag him into my suicide journey."

Although he admitted to the charges, he added that he does not feel guilty, will not make an apology, and is too poor to pay restitution. Nevertheless, he said he will accept responsibility.
