Serves him right. He should have his hands broken and his tongue
slit.

A man has been indicted for tampering with a restaurant’s conveyor belt
sushi in Japan, marking the first known case against a participant in the recent wave of “sushi terrorism” pranks in the country.

Ryoga Yoshino, 21, was among the first individuals arrested for hopping on
the viral trend, which has forced sushi restaurants to suspend their
conveyor belts, conduct disinfection protocols, install AI-powered
security cameras and explore legal measures against perpetrators.

Yoshina and two others — a 19-year-old man and a 15-year-old girl — were apprehended earlier this month for an incident that occurred at a Kura
Sushi branch in Nagoya City on Feb. 3.

According to police, Yoshino wiped his saliva on some sushi and licked the spout of a soy sauce bottle.

The moment was caught in a now-viral video. Yoshino’s male accomplice
allegedly filmed the moment, while the role of their minor companion was
not immediately known.

Yoshino was charged on Tuesday with obstructing a business, according to
Kyodo News.

The teen girl was released pending further investigation, as per Sankei
News, while the 19-year-old man was reportedly put on probation.

The 21-year-old felt “at a loss about what to do” after his alleged video
went viral and sparked outrage, according to his lawyer Kenichi Tamura. He reportedly did not realize that he had committed a crime until he was
arrested.

Tamura said Yoshino now understands his mistakes and hopes to apologize to
the restaurant chain.

On the other hand, Kura Sushi said they “sincerely hope the public has
come to know that these acts of public nuisance would constitute a crime
and no such acts would be committed in the future,” Kyodo News noted.

At least two other incidents have gone viral on social media. One occurred
at an Akindo Sushiro branch, while the other took place at a Hamasushi location.
