Hiroyuki Jo

Hiroyuki Jo (徐 裕行, Jo Hiroyuki) is a Zainichi Korean member of Shinshushieikan (神洲士衛館), an (impersonated-)uyoku organization, and the Mie Prefecture-based Hane-gumi branch of Yamaguchi-gumi, a yakuza organization. Jo assassinated Hideo Murai, a member of Aum Shinrikyo, on April 23, 1995.[1][2]

Charges that Kenji Kamimine（上峯 憲司）, a former leader of Hane-gumi, ordered Jo to kill Murai were dismissed by the Tokyo High Court.[3]

Jo was sentenced to 12 years in prison for the murder.[4]

gollark: Before I try and make a somewhat insane workaround for this, does anyone know a way to recolor an SVG image in an HTML document?
gollark: *is libertarian center-ish*
gollark: I was just saying that those were weird too.
gollark: SIMD is even more weird and specific on x86. Especially AVX-512, because Intel seems to randomly implement different subsets of that on their different products.
gollark: They seem quite cool, but cost about six times as much as my computer did, so meh.
