An arson attack on an anime studio in Japan has left at least 33 people dead and dozens injured in Japan’s worst mass murder in nearly two decades.
The perpetrator, who was also injured and has been taken into police custody, walked into the 1st Studio building of Kyoto Animation in Fujimi ward, Kyoto, at about 10.30am.
It started life as a manga comic book, before Kyoto Animation created two TV anime series that aired between 2009 and 2010.
Kyoto Animation, known as KyoAni, was founded in 1981 by Yoko Hatta, an anime producer.
