A 74-year-old barber in Niigata Prefecture has been cutting the hair of suspects detained at a police station in the city of Murakami for the past half century.
"I started because I heard no one else was willing to do it, but I didn't realize that I have been cutting hair for so many years," said Satoshi Komazawa, the second-generation manager of a barbershop that opened around 1930.
Although his 45-year-old son has already taken over the shop and the police station was moved to a spot about 1 km away in 2007, Komazawa still visits the station to cut detainees' hair several times a year.
