More panty pilfering

On this site you’ll find numerous underwear related stories. From the sale of used under garments, to tales of those going to extraordinary lengths just to get a mere peek of a young lady’s panties. But this latest offering arguably tops them all.

Last week, in Tochigi prefecture north of Tokyo, a man stole a high school student’s underwear. This is bad enough in itself, but what’s even worse is she was actually wearing them.

The unfortunate girl was at a quiet and unmanned station at 9:30 a.m., when a young male in his 20’s approached her. He then unexpectedly hit her, knocking her to the floor. And as she was grounded, he forced her to take off her panties and hand them over to him. Then, once in possession of his prize, he made good his escape.

After the panty pilferer had fled, the girl phoned the police on her mobile, but by the time they arrived at the scene the man had long since gone.

Now it has to be said that buying used underwear from vending machines (or from anywhere else for that matter) is unusual, but this story takes such panty perversion to new depths. And with Tokyo banning the sale of used underwear, will we see a rise in such bizarre crimes?

To be honest it wouldn’t surprise me, although admittedly it would give me plenty of material. With such a huge variety of panty related incidents and stories to cover, I fear I may have to split my underwear category into sub sections!

Braying bra*

The picture below shows Shinobu Ikehata showing off an item from Triumph International’s new fall and winter collection. The bra Ms. Ikehata is sporting depicts the racehorse Haruurara, famous for its record breaking run of races without a win.

Triumph International claim to be using the image of Haruurara because the animal is a symbol of determination. Now call me cynical, but alternatively it might just have something to do with the fact that the horse is now something of a celebrity, and anything Haruurara related sells by the bucket load.

Although the company’s actions are perhaps no less cynical than mine. Padding out this worthless story just to merit the picture of a pretty young woman wearing a bra.

*I should say that I am aware that horses don’t bray, but I couldn’t think of another word to go with bra. And in horse racing circles, I’m sure the poor performances of Haruurara would lumber the horse with the derogatory moniker of donkey. Probably.

Serial panty pilferer nabbed

A nation breathes easier today, as arguably Japan’s worst recorded panty poacher is now safely behind bars.

55-year-old Kazumasa Ota was arrested this month after being apprehended by an unidentified company employee. The diligent citizen spotted Mr. Ota attempting to snatch a 4th piece of underwear from an apartment balcony, and bravely detained him until the police arrived.

The underwear-loving thief is suspected of being a keen panty plunderer for over 30 years. And after searching his house, police found 30 cardboard boxes packed with more than 4,000 items of women’s underwear. All carefully folded up and protected with moth repellant.

When questioned by police, Mr. Ota said, “I like women’s underwear.” Surely a contender for understatement of the year.

Peeping professor update

The other day I mentioned the arrest of renowned economist and university professor Kazuhide Uekusa, for allegedly attempting to look up the skirt of a 15 year-old schoolgirl with a concealed mirror.

Now it seems that despite the police claiming he had already admitted to the allegation, Mr. Uekusa is denying it. He told prosecutors he didn’t peep up the girl’s skirt, nor did he even try to. But (and this is a big but) he did have a small mirror with him.

Hmm, I’m not sure what you think, but I don’t find his cries of innocence very convincing. Especially as he has failed to explain why he was carrying a mirror in the first place. Personally I can’t think of a reason (apart from peeping up girls skirts of course) for using a mirror whilst on an escalator. Can you?

Peeping professor

The picture below is Kazuhide Uekusa. Renowned economist, regular television commentator, and professor at the prestigious Waseda University.

But on Monday, Mr. Uekusa was arrested for peeping at Tokyo’s Shinagawa station. He wasn’t however just trying to have a crafty peek up a woman’s skirt, or a quick leer at her cleavage. No, the perverted professor was caught on an escalator, trying to look up the skirt of a 15 year old schoolgirl with a small mirror.

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. How terribly embarrassing!
