The 24-year-old suspect in the murder of a man on a street in Kashiwa, Chiba Prefecture, on Monday is believed to have posted a profile online in which he identified himself as a "celeb NEET," meaning a celebrity without a job, according to local online news site J-Cast News.
The service quoted the profile, which was accompanied by a photo resembling the suspect, Seiju Takei, who was arrested late Wednesday, as saying, "I am a 24-year-old celeb NEET (not in education, employment or training)."
Takei is under arrest on suspicion of fatally stabbing Hiroya Ikema, 31, who lived in the same apartment building, and robbing another man of money in Kashiwa.
