0:00
when 77-year-old billionaire kak nazaki
0:03
married 22-year-old Takis sudo people
0:06
across the nation of Japan were
0:07
surprised by the news so you can
0:10
probably imagine how shocked they were
0:12
when he ended up dead only 3 months
0:14
later a myriad of concerning Clues led
0:17
the authorities to his young wife who
0:19
seemed almost emotionless over his death
0:22
but with no concrete evidence placing
0:24
the guilt in her hands they would find
0:26
it hard to convict her legally so who
0:29
was AA Zaki why would his wife want to
0:32
murder him in Cold Blood what were the
0:34
clues left behind and how did this
0:36
billionaire have sex with over 4,000
0:42
women welcome or welcome back to Coffee
0:44
House crime folks my name is Adrien and
0:47
today we're looking at the wild case of
0:49
kak aaki it is definitely one of the
0:51
weirdest stories that I've covered I've
0:53
said it before here and I'll say it
0:54
again but Japan is a very safe country
0:56
to live in but when murder occurs the
0:59
story does go hard oh and by the way
1:01
Coffee House crime is all about True
1:03
Crime strange and chilling stories so if
1:05
that does sound like a kind of thing hit
1:07
subscribe grab some coffee and enjoy the
1:10
show this is the case of K and
1:19
isaki hey there folks and welcome back
Tanabe
1:22
to Japan our case today pulls us to the
1:25
southern city of tanabe located in
1:27
wakayama prefecture now tab city is the
1:30
historic and present day gateway to
1:32
kanano a key location for land and ocean
1:35
transport routes in the south of Japan
1:38
otherwise it is a sleepy coastal city
1:40
with a population of around 65,000
1:43
residents and is the largest in the
1:45
south of the Key Peninsula while here
1:47
you will find tab Bay to the east of the
1:50
city with mountains to the West as for
1:52
the city itself it plays a vital role in
1:55
Japan's fishing and agriculture
1:57
Industries and is famous for its oranges
1:59
and OSI a Japanese pickled Plum although
2:03
tab has always been a relatively quiet
2:05
City the population has steadily
2:07
decreased over the decades back in the '
2:10
40s it used to be almost twice the
2:12
population it is now and one of those
2:14
families living there was the nazaki
2:16
family born on April the 13th 1941 Kake
Kosuke Nozaki
2:20
was the third son of seven children
2:22
growing up in a large family meant that
2:24
he was often left to his own devices but
2:27
his parents did love him nevertheless he
2:30
was known to be quite the Troublemaker
2:32
though at home he often got in trouble
2:34
with his siblings and in addition to the
2:36
bullying at school coso's grades were
2:38
known to be quite bad it was for this
2:41
reason that he dropped out of higher
2:42
education to help at his family's locor
2:45
store the nozaki family were not Wealthy
2:47
by any means so the help was greatly
2:50
appreciated by his parents it seems that
2:52
around this time Kake became obsessed
2:55
with money and would do almost anything
2:57
to increase the store's revenue of
2:59
course in in the background filling his
3:01
pockets with pocket money as life goes
3:03
kak's parents would eventually pass away
3:06
with Kake claiming his share of their
3:08
inheritance after they did it was at
3:10
that moment that he used their
3:11
inheritance to start his own business
3:14
and although that may sound like a
3:15
relatively good thing he was basically a
3:18
glorified lone shark now back then being
3:20
a lone shark was very different and the
3:23
rules and regulations in which you could
3:25
loan money out were almost non-existent
3:28
nowadays interest rates cannot exceed
3:30
more than 20% doing so would be illegal
3:33
and brand issue as a yamakin which is
3:35
short for yamy kinyu or dark finance and
3:40
Japanese so you could say that Kake was
3:43
a very unfair loone shark before the
3:45
rules and regulation stepped in in short
3:47
he made massive amounts of money through
3:49
other people's debts as you can quite
3:51
likely imagine this also created tension
3:53
between kak and his siblings I mean they
3:56
were already on Rocky terms but this
3:58
corrupt way of earning earning money was
4:00
enough to make a rift now Kake was a
4:03
businessman through and through and
4:04
actually had several other businesses in
4:06
the background he was a scrap metal
4:08
collector he was a real estate developer
4:11
and he also sold condoms door too door
4:14
looking through old Japanese reports it
4:16
seems that all of these Ventures were
4:17
not actually profitable and so it's safe
4:20
to assume that all of the money he made
4:21
was through debt collection saying that
4:23
he would eventually go hard into real
4:25
estate and make massive amounts of money
4:27
to add to his questionable career he was
4:29
once prosecuted for tax evasion so you
4:32
can already tell that this man is not
4:34
the most ethically sensitive of
4:35
entrepreneurs while kak's wealth grew so
4:38
did his body count and no despite my
4:41
genre I'm not actually talking about
4:43
murder here because you see this man was
4:46
infatuated with women and believed that
4:48
sex was the meaning of life you see
4:50
while going door too to sell condoms he
4:53
would subtly hinted his additional
4:55
services to women who appeared to be
4:57
alone and yeah I guess he must have had
4:59
some success in doing so Kos would
5:01
become known as a wealthy Playboy who
5:04
had a lot of sex with lots of women paid
5:06
and unpaid in fact he reportedly spent
5:09
more than 3 billion yen on just over
5:12
4,000 women over the years that's
5:15
equivalent to6 million or2 million us
5:20
when questioned by a Japanese
5:21
broadcaster his response was when I find
5:24
a woman of my type tall and voluptuous I
5:27
would tell her I want to go out with you
5:29
and have sex with you I'll give you
5:31
400,000 Yen if you agree Kake would
5:34
often spend a lot of money in nightclubs
5:36
too often partying late into the night
5:38
in K shinchi that being a famous
5:40
Entertainment District in Osaka saying
5:43
that kosak made many enemies over the
5:45
years too he would often trick his
5:47
friends and strangers out of money and
5:50
it's reported that in the year 1998 he
5:53
had even suffered a stab wound from an
5:55
acquaintance that he tried to deceive
5:57
with lone sharking eventually becoming a
5:59
less lucrative business he would
6:01
continue to work in his family run
6:03
liquor store which had grown in size and
6:05
revenue now kak's wealth and fame would
6:07
be bolstered in the year 2016 when he
6:10
wrote his autobiography named Don Joan
6:12
of kishu this book which was published
6:15
in December of 2016 focused on how he
6:17
made himself a wealthy man and although
6:20
this book may have never taken off on
6:22
its own it was eventually picked up in
6:24
an episode of aim talk a popular TV show
6:27
in Japan back in the day this com bined
6:29
with a couple interviews propelled his
6:31
book into becoming a bestseller
6:33
regardless of whether it was good or Not
6:35
by now Kake could afford almost anything
6:38
he wanted I mean the man was literally
6:40
handing out letters with free money
6:42
attached to it to any woman that he
6:44
thought was beautiful of course in a
6:47
desperate bid to sleep with them
6:48
luxurious cars multiple homes business
6:51
class flights worldwide and expensive
6:54
boats you name it the man had it
6:58
all by 2017 Kake had entered his golden
7:02
years and was now 77 years old and
7:05
despite his rather impressive age he was
7:07
still allegedly going hard in the
7:09
bedroom now it's no secret that Japan's
7:11
life expectancy is better than Western
7:13
countries but in addition to this he
7:15
wrote in his autobiography that he
7:17
avoided smoking drugs and stimulants
7:20
despite his extraordinarily high body
7:22
count 2017 was going to be the year that
7:24
he settled down and Found Love and it
7:27
just so happens that he did now Kake had
7:30
already been married twice before with
7:32
both marriages ending in divorce he
7:34
didn't have anyone or anything close to
7:36
him apart from his trusted dashant named
7:39
Eve in fact he would often joke about
7:41
Eve inheriting his entire Empire and
7:43
estate should he ever die it was in the
Saki Sudo
7:45
Autumn of 2017 that he encountered a
7:47
young woman named saki sudo and when I
7:50
say young I really do mean it because
7:53
despite his age of 77 she was 55 years
7:56
younger at 22 now according to to his
7:59
book and interviews the two met at Tokyo
8:02
Hana airport though there are reports
8:04
that they met in less exciting ways
8:06
regardless The Story Goes Like This
8:09
after spotting her in a crowd he
8:11
purposefully fell in front of her to
8:13
grab her attention fast forward one hour
8:15
and the two were having drinks in an
8:17
airport lounge although Pudo was just
8:20
another number to his 4,000 women she
8:22
would soon become much more than that in
8:25
fact several months later the two would
8:28
officially be married
8:29
before we carry on with this story
8:31
though who precisely is saki
8:34
Pudo born in 1996 saki sudo was over
8:39
half a century younger than her newly
8:41
wed husband being born in saporo on
8:44
Japan's northern Island her kaido her
8:46
parents were relatively wealthy and
8:48
could afford nice food and designer
8:50
Brands occasionally much like Kake she
8:53
was not academically ambitious and
8:55
sometimes was at the brunt of bullying
8:57
as a result she was fairly timid and
9:00
rarely spoke out in class but by the
9:02
time she reached her mid- teenage years
9:04
her demeanor would change with the
9:07
financial support of her mother and
9:08
father she began to buy expensive
9:11
handbags coats and clothing and making
9:13
friends through her Newfound hobby saki
9:16
became obsessed with money and Beauty
9:18
this is probably why she began a course
9:20
in Beauty and makeup and to complement
9:23
her income she allegedly also worked as
9:25
a prostitute and was involved in several
9:28
adult videos
9:29
she would eventually move to Tokyo to
9:31
become a beautician but apparently even
9:34
this decision was rather sketchy
9:36
allegedly she became obsessed with the
9:38
host in a bar in saporo spending upwards
9:41
of 150,000 Yen or
9:44
$1,000 to spend time with him and after
9:47
he announced that he was moving to Tokyo
9:49
she followed him in his footsteps since
9:52
their relationship was made through
9:53
money and not love it didn't take long
9:56
for their situation to break down but
9:58
saki did did not need him anymore for
10:00
she' found a new Target instead of
10:02
course that being the donjuan of kishu
10:05
Kake nazaki and after meeting him at
10:07
aner airport the two quickly for a lack
10:09
of a better word fell in love a few
10:12
months later they were married K would
10:14
even give his new wife a contract
10:16
declaring that she didn't have to cook
10:17
clean or do any of the housework and in
10:20
addition to this she was given 1 million
10:22
yen a month in pocket money it seemed
10:24
that Kake was ready to slow down and
10:27
enjoy the remaining years of his life
10:29
with someone by his side and as for saki
10:32
she appeared to be deeply in love with
10:34
her older husband over the following
10:36
weeks the media would capture several
10:38
images of Kake and Saki together often
10:41
accompanied by his beloved dog named Eve
10:44
images show them walking the dog taking
10:46
trips to the mall in his Mercedes and
10:48
dining at fine restaurants life seemed
10:51
comfortable and it appeared that Kake
10:53
found an excellent way to live out the
10:55
rest of his years with Saki and Eve by
10:58
his side the problem is the rest of his
11:00
years would not be for very long because
11:02
only 3 months after marrying saki he
11:05
would be
11:08
dead let's first rewind 18 days before
11:12
his death because unfortunately another
The Death of Eve and Kosuke
11:15
tragedy happened on May the 6th 2018 in
11:18
the early morning hours Kake woke up to
11:21
the sound of yelping his dog Eve had
11:24
started fitting and thrashing
11:26
uncontrollably and was visibly in a
11:28
great deal of pain although Kake was
11:31
prepared to take her to the vet it was
11:33
sadly all too late with her dying
11:36
several minutes later in his arms the
11:38
news devastated cost Eve was his pride
11:41
and joy the one true love that stuck by
11:44
him for over a decade and in her Shadow
11:48
he was distraught with the empty feeling
11:50
of loss and grief the following day he
11:53
hired a monk to help host a ceremony for
11:57
her
12:00
[Music]
12:05
Eve passed away under very strange
12:07
circumstances I mean sure she was an
12:10
elderly dog but she was in great health
12:13
had no known conditions and exuded no
12:15
illnesses or ailments it is safe to
12:18
assume that her sudden death left C
12:20
absolutely dumbfounded not that it would
12:23
matter for long though because 18 days
12:26
later on the evening of May the 24th K
12:29
himself was dead the man was found
12:32
almost entirely naked on his bedroom
12:34
couch slumped over in a precarious
12:40
manner an autopsy conducted on his body
12:43
found that Kake had an aggressively
12:45
lethal dose of stimulants in his body
12:48
far more than what's required to kill a
12:50
man as a result it was concluded that
12:52
the cause of his death was acute
12:53
stimulant poisoning caused by ingesting
12:56
a large amount of stimulants all at once
12:59
but this was a very intriguing detail
13:01
for any of those who read his books
13:03
because kak often talked about how he
13:05
was opposed to drugs and stimulants in
13:08
addition to this tests conducted on his
13:10
hair concluded that he was not a
13:12
long-term user in addition to this no
13:15
puncture marks were found anywhere on
13:16
his body meaning he must have drank or
13:18
eaten the stimulant which by the way
13:21
delivers none of the intended effects
13:23
but all of The lethality and now all of
13:25
a sudden kak's death and perhaps even 's
13:29
death were beginning to look like murder
13:31
detectives observing the home
Timeline
13:33
surveillance footage confirmed that the
13:35
only people to enter the property in the
13:37
hours before his death were his wife and
13:39
his cleaner apparently kak had spent
13:41
most of the day arranging a funeral for
13:44
his dog his cleaner was present for most
13:46
of the day leaving at around 400 p.m. to
13:48
run several errands cak left saki
13:51
downstairs at around 6:00 p.m. to make
13:54
several phone calls upstairs and shortly
13:56
after this his cleaner returned at
13:59
around 6:30 p.m. while Saki and the
14:01
cleaner watched TV downstairs they heard
14:04
a thumping coming from upstairs although
14:06
the cleaner asked saki to check on him
14:09
she Shrugged it off instead at 10: p.m.
14:12
and still with no sign of Kake the
14:14
cleaner once more asked saki to check in
14:16
on him that is when the women found him
14:18
dead in his bedroom with Kake busily
14:21
preparing his dog's funeral it is quite
14:23
unlikely that he intended to take his
14:25
own life and so with that in mind there
14:28
there is one burning question who put
14:31
stimulants in his food or drink now the
14:33
only two people who could have given
14:35
these stimulants were the two that were
14:36
captured on surveillance camera that
14:38
being his wife or his cleaner the
14:40
problem is that kek had the same cleaner
14:42
for more than a decade they were on good
14:44
terms and there was no motive or benefit
14:47
in murdering him and so this firmly left
14:50
the spotlight on saki sudo the
14:52
22-year-old woman he had married only 3
14:55
months prior the obvious statement here
14:57
is that perhaps she was a gold digger
14:59
merely in it for the money if cake were
15:02
to die she would be able to inherit his
15:04
entire Empire which by the way was worth
15:06
5 billion yen that's the equivalent of
15:09
$33 million us or 27 million British
15:15
pound saki also appeared to be rather
Spotlight
15:18
nonchalant in his death it was reported
15:21
that she was emotionless at his funeral
15:23
often on her smartphone or chatting away
15:25
with his cleaner apparently she was even
15:28
seen playing games on her phone during
15:30
his service and this video shows her
15:33
rather casual emotions immediately after
15:36
his funeral with all of this in mind
15:38
saki was not in a comfortable position
15:41
many were already suspicious of her
15:42
motive after marrying kak and with them
15:45
now dead and her relatively unfaced
15:48
things were not looking good saki grew
15:51
quite dismissive towards the media after
15:53
this she would often tell them that she
15:55
was not available for comment and there
15:57
were reports of her even fighting the
15:59
paparazzi now despite the strange
16:02
circumstances there evidently was not
16:04
enough evidence to confidently charge
16:06
saki with murder investigators would
16:08
even dig up Eve's body to check for
16:10
toxic stimulants in her system but with
16:12
her body left to decompose for 3 weeks
16:15
all tests would return inconclusive and
16:18
sadly kak's case frosted over with no
16:21
substantial leads or developments for
16:23
multiple years to make matters worse
16:26
under prolonged scrutiny saki pled to
16:28
move overseas in 2021 with this
16:31
information officers knew that they had
16:33
to act fast if they let her board a
16:35
flight out of Japan and to Dubai there
16:38
was no guarantee they would ever see her
16:41
again and so in May of 2021 which was 3
16:44
years after kak's and Eve's sudden
16:47
deaths she was officially arrested and
16:49
held on suspicion of murder with
16:51
Japanese law stating that you can only
16:53
detain someone for 30 days on suspicion
16:56
of murder the authorities knew that they
16:58
were against the
17:00
clock detectives released a myriad of
Evidence
17:02
evidence over the following weeks to
17:04
begin with saki confirmed in a police
17:06
interview that she did not travel
17:08
upstairs between 4: and 6:00 p.m.
17:10
however her iPhone's Health app data
17:12
would suggest otherwise and if this were
17:15
true it meant that she was in contact
17:17
with him while he was dying in addition
17:19
to this her internet history confirms
17:21
that she searched for drug stimulants
17:23
and suppliers merely weeks before Eve's
17:25
death to make matters worse forensics
17:27
would also find traces of Narcotics on
17:29
the kitchen floor and in the vacuum
17:31
cleaner her phone also revealed that she
17:34
was in contact with a well-known and
17:35
established drug dealer and tracing
17:38
technology confirms that both of them
17:39
were in the same place at the same time
17:42
apparently kak had also talked about
17:44
divorce in the weeks leading up to his
17:46
death because allegedly she would not
17:48
live with him in his home in tab
17:50
meanwhile Kake had no surprise already
17:54
found a new partner the evidence gets
17:56
worse only 2 months after after his
17:58
death saki held a shareholders meeting
18:00
at their house which by the way she
18:03
attended alone and in this meeting she
18:05
appointed herself president of the
18:07
company she then awarded herself an
18:09
annual salary of $1.5 million us and to
18:13
add to that she gave herself a personal
18:15
bonus of 400,000 and when officers
18:17
finally caught up with her in Tokyo they
18:20
found out that she was planning to flee
18:21
to Dubai with all of the money she had
18:25
aced with all of the loose evidence at
18:28
the disposal sakis sudo was officially
18:30
charged with the murder of kak noaki now
18:33
unfortunately she still awaits trial it
18:36
appears that despite almost 3 years
18:38
since her arrest and nearly 6 years
18:40
since his death nothing has happened
18:43
what is strange is that there seems to
18:45
be no update on her current whereabouts
18:47
leading some to speculate that she has
18:50
been discreetly discharged and released
18:52
if she is to stand trial it will be
18:55
difficult for authorities to prove that
18:57
she is guilty poison reasonings can be
18:59
very challenging to prove especially
19:01
after so much time has passed by
19:04
regardless saki maintains her innocence
19:06
to this day and despite the various
19:08
articles of evidence against her she
19:11
remains adant that she had nothing to do
19:13
with his death and that she thoroughly
19:15
loved the man kake's friends have
19:17
confirmed that he did plan to divorce
19:19
saki with one of them even admitting
19:21
that he'd asked him to come over and be
19:23
present when he told her the bad news so
19:26
this has led many to believe that s may
19:28
have learned of the news before she was
19:30
supposed to find out therefore leading
19:32
her to haphazardly murder her husband
19:35
before she lost his
19:38
inheritance until we find out more we do
19:41
owe saki the right to remain innocent
19:43
until proven guilty though personally if
19:46
you ask me she definitely has those
19:48
murderous gold digger Vibes nobody knows
19:51
who will inherit kake's Empire if saki
19:54
is found guilty then his family have a
19:56
fighting chance to claim it though for
19:58
now all of his assets remain Frozen to
20:01
this day it is a shame that Kake passed
20:03
away and I'm sure we can all agree that
20:06
Eve's death hurts just as much anyway
