日本司法部门于2025年1月10日对58岁的高见恒雄执行了死刑1。高见恒雄因2009年在大阪一家弹珠机厅纵火事件被判死刑，该事件共造成5人死亡、10人受伤1。高见恒雄通过泼洒汽油并扔燃烧的火柴引发大火1。大阪地方法院于2011年对其判处死刑，最高法院在2016年驳回了其上诉1。
这次执行是在首相高市早苗任期内进行的1。司法部长平口宏表示，该案"造成了极其严重的后果，对社会造成了重大冲击和恐惧"1。日本的死刑执行采取保密方式进行，囚犯直到绞刑当天早晨才被告知其命运1。目前日本共有100人在死囚牢房中，其中43人正寻求重审1。日本与美国是七国集团中仅有的两个实施死刑的国家1。该执行引发了国际社会对日本死刑制度透明度和废除资本刑的呼声1。
Japan carried out a capital punishment on January 10, 2025, executing 58-year-old Sunao Takami by hanging for his role in a deadly fire at a pachinko parlor in Osaka.1 Takami set the blaze by pouring gasoline and throwing burning matches at the establishment, killing five people and injuring ten others in the 2009 attack.1 He was sentenced to death by the Osaka District Court in 2011, and the nation's Supreme Court rejected his appeal in 2016.1
The execution marks a notable moment in Japan's capital punishment system, which continues despite international scrutiny. Justice Minister Hiroshi Hiraguchi characterized the crime's impact, stating that it "caused extremely serious consequences and inflicted major shock and fear on society."1 Japan currently maintains approximately 100 death row inmates, of whom 43 are seeking retrials.1 The country and the United States remain the only members of the Group of Seven that retain and enforce capital punishment.1
Japan's death penalty process operates largely in secrecy, with condemned prisoners informed of their execution only on the morning of their scheduled death.1 This 2025 execution follows another high-profile case in the same year involving the execution of a man dubbed the "Twitter killer," who was convicted of murdering and dismembering nine people in 2017.1
