コーヒーぶっかけ男 quoted "It was hot, I spit it out"
























Coffee Bukkake Man Arrested

December 11, 2007 | by James | Filed Under Strange Japan
A man has been arrested in Numazu, Shizuoka Prefecture for assaulting 5 schoolgirls with coffee via drive-by spitting attacks. Here’s a report from Asahi TV:
The spitter, who was nicknamed “Coffee Bukake Man” [コーヒーぶっかけ男] by locals, had carried out 5 attacks since the end of October. All of his victims were junior high school or high school girls wearing their uniforms, and all of the attacks involved spitting coffee onto their faces from his car window. His final attack took place on December 7th, when a 16-year-old schoolgirl he spit on was able to come to her senses quickly enough to spot his license plate number and memorize it. This led to the arrest of 26 year-old Yoshiro Sumiyama, who admitted attacking the girls. Sumiyama told police that he was irritated after having been dumped by a woman and carried out the spitting attacks to relieve some stress.
If you didn’t feel like sitting through that whole Japanese language news report or reading the above text, here is a summary in form of a cartoon reenactment created by Asahi TV’s skilled graphics team:

More information on the Bukkake Man is available in this article from Sankei Sports (Japanese).[Language note: Bukkake comes from the Japanese verb bukkakeru, which means to splash or to douse.]
