44 Days Of Hell – The murder story of Junko Furuta
Junko Furuta was a 16-year-old Japanese girl who underwent 44 days of rape and torture before dying in the hands of her captors on November 22, 1989. Known throughout Japan as a concrete-encased high school girl, the case of Junko Furuta drew nationwide attention owing to sheer brutality the girl had to endure before death found her.
Junko Furuta Story
Junko Furuta attended a high school in Misato, in Saitama Prefecture, Japan. She was a good-looking, active teenager who enjoyed a lot of attention, which made some people jealous. She did not smoke, did not drink alcohol, and did not do drugs, which was seen as very uncool in the eyes of more gangster-like teens. One of them – Hiroshi Miyano, had a crush on her but not looking for a relationship. Junko Furuta turned him down. Hiroshi Miyano was the bully in the school and involved with the new generations of the Yakuza, nobody dared to oppose him. And Junko Furuta had the nerve to say “No”…
On November 25, 1988, she was kidnapped by four teenage boys, one of them was Hiroshi Miyano. The boys took Junko Furuta to the house owned by one of the kidnappers’ parents in the Ayase district of Adachi, Tokyo.
While in captivity, the kidnappers forced Junko Furuta to call her parents and tell them that she’d run away and is going to stay with a friend, but insist that she’s not in danger. Not able to realize what was coming and too scared to remain non-compliant, Junko did exactly as she was told, ultimately forestalling a manhunt that would have otherwise followed her disappearance.
Parents of Nobuharu Minato in whose house Junko Furuta was kept visited their son on a few occasions. Still, under a threat of increased violence against her, Junko was requested to pretend that she was a girlfriend of one of the boys. However, even when it became apparent that she was a captive in the house, the parents did nothing for fear of retaliation from Hiroshi Miyano, who was known to have the Yakuza connections.
During 44 days following her kidnapping, Junko Furuta was forced to withstand unspeakable suffering. What she went through before murder included:
-Was humiliated by being kept naked most of the time
-Was raped every day in both the vagina and anus. More than 100 men are believed to have raped her – the captor with Yakuza connections has invited other Yakuza members to have a go at a 16-year-old. She’s estimated to have gone through about 500 rapes. At one point, she was raped by 12 different men in one day
Endured physical beatings included hits with golf clubs and bashing of the face against the cement floor.
The 100 men who are believed to have raped her had also reportedly enjoyed urinating on the girl.
Frequently, to turn her rapists on, she was forced to masturbate in front of them and their guests.
She had various objects forced into her vagina and anus, including a bottle, an iron bar, scissors, roasting needles, grilled chicken skewers, etc.
Was provided with only a limited supply of food or water.
Was forced to eat live cockroaches and drink her own urine.
Had fireworks forced up her ass and set them off, causing severe burns
Had her left nipple ripped off with pliers.
Had dumbbells dropped on her stomach while lying on the floor with hands and feet tied up – this resulted in a loss of bowel control.
Was hanging from the ceiling and used as a boxing bag.
Was kept in a freezer for several hours.
Had eyelids burned with hot wax and lighters
Had breasts pierced with sewing needles
Had her vagina and clitoris burnt with cigarettes and lighters
Had a hot, lit bulb inserted into her vagina and rubbed until it exploded inside.
While she was only one quarter through her ordeal, owing to ongoing beatings, Junko Furuta could not breathe through her nose due to the accumulation of blood in her cavities. Her traumatized internal organs refused to accept food and water, so when she tried to drink, she instantly vomited, which kept her more dehydrated. It also agitated the perpetrators, who punished her with more beating for soiling the carpet.
At one point, when the attackers were resting after drinking, she tried to call the police but was caught and punished by having her feet set on fire with burning lighter fluid. Large bottles the perpetrators forced up her anus caused internal injuries and ugly bleeding.
Severe leg burns and badly bruised muscles left her unable to walk after 20 days of her ordeal. She couldn’t handle anything with her hands anymore because her bones were smashed with weights and her fingernails cracked. Since it was winter, she was also forced to sleep on a balcony, exposed to cold temperatures.
After 30 days, Junko Furuta could not urinate properly due to damage to internal organs and vulva from the insertion of foreign objects and burns from cigarettes and lighters. Her hands and feet were damaged severely, and it took her over an hour to crawl downstairs to the bathroom. Her eardrums were also damaged, and her brain size was reduced.
Junko Furuta’s Death
During 44 days, when she was repeatedly tortured, beaten, and raped, Junko Furuta begged her captors several times to just kill her and be done with it. They didn’t grant her that favor. Instead, on January 4, 1989, they challenged her to a game of Mahjong solitaire. She won, and that pissed the boys off, so they treated her to a beating with an iron barbell and fire by setting her legs, arms, face, and stomach alight after pouring lighter fluid on them. Being already severely beaten, dehydrated, and malnourished, Junko Furuta fell into a shock and died the following day.
The murderers stuffed the dead girl’s body in a 55-gallon drum filled with concrete and disposed of it in Koto, Tokyo.
Junko Furuta Captors Identified
The Japanese court withheld the names of four main captors who kidnapped, tortured, raped and murdered Junko Furuta because they were juveniles. However, the journalists from the Shūkan Bunshun magazine dug them out and published them stating that after what they did to Junko Furuta, they don’t deserve anyone to uphold their human rights:
Hiroshi Miyano – 18-year-old at the time of the crime. Changed his name to Hiroshi Yokoyama.
Jo Ogura – 18 years old at the time of the crime. Changed his name to Jo Kamisaku (神作譲)
Shinji Minato ( 16-year-old at the time of the crime, some sources refer to him as Nobuharu Minato)
Yasushi Watanabe – 17-year-old at the time of the crime.
All four perpetrators were caught and tried. However, because they were all under-aged when the crime was committed, they were tried as juveniles. Eventually, they faced sentences of adults, except that the court withheld their identities. Still, given the severity of their crimes, the sentences they were handed out were relatively low. By now, each of them is already out of jail. Three of the boys served less than eight years, the leader has initially been sentenced to 17 years in prison, but after his appeal, Judge Ryūji Yanase bumped his sentence to 20 years instead of lowering his sentence. The same judge also increased the punishment for two bored boys who appealed. One didn’t, so his sentence stayed as was. Either way, they’re all in their late 30′s and all out of jail.
Jo Kamisaku (not his real name), released in August 1999, went back to prison in July 2004 for seven years to beat a guy he thought was luring his girlfriend away from him.
Because forensic examiners found sperm and pubic hair of other people on the corpse of Junko Furuta, few more names were linked to her torture and murder,
including Koichi Ihara and Tetsuo Nakamura.

What the hell- they should have there dicks cut off, and get fed it, and then be tortured in all the same ways, with an even more gruesome death. Junko Furuta did not deserve what happened to her. Its sad about what our world has come too now even in 1989- Im just in shock that a human(s) would have this mindset. But honestly, I dont think I should be as shocked as I am. All the guys should be tortured by Satin himself

MAY THEY ROT IN HELL AND THEIR SOUL DEMOLISHED INTO PEICES. Anyone else going to join me while beating them up with all the rage i have on them? I dibs beating the bully who asked her out.

Wow the fact that the mother of one the boys vandalized the grave and even CLAIMED that she ruined her son’s live is actually disgusting! like no she didn’t ruin your sons live he ruined her’s and now she’s dead just because she said no. Also i can’t believe they didn’t give the people a death sentence just because they are teenagers doesn’t excuse what they did to her like they still could of waited until they were adult and then send them to death or something i mean they murdered, raped, and tortured this girl and they are still able to walk the streets and not pay the consequences? now that’s just fucked up, anyways this case always makes me sick i hope she’s in a better place now and I hope those assholes who did it have a slow painful death that’s worse than her’s.
the fact that they got away with such a horrible crime and the fact that sweet girl went through so much hell and got no justice I hope everyone who did that to her goes to hell and burned. rest in peace you sweet angel I’m so sorry that happened to you I will never even grasp the pain you went through please god let this wonderful angel rest in peace the fact that she begged them for death and didn’t get it I’m so sorry that happened to you sweet angel rest in peace.

Are they humans or demons?
I WISH THAT SATAN EAT THEIR SOUL AND LET THEIR BODIES TO ROT IN THE GARBAGE. MAY THEY NOT REST IN PEACE.

I would say they can get life in. Jail and they would suffer the same way they did her all of this because you got rejected boy please go to hell.poor babygirl🥺🥺🤬🤬😡😡 rip to junko furuta🥺🥺❤️❤️❤️
I wrote a college thesis paper about my views on humane vs inhumane treatment of psychopathic criminals in our prison system…These sick deranged pondscum are textbook examples of the types of criminals I spoke about to justify my views….The paper was extremely controversial but got a lot of attention and stirred up many heated debates. I spoke about using these types of criminals in place of lab rats and other animals inhumanely used in experiments to test side effects of drugs and a multitude of other cruel and inhumane testing. I’m an advocate for all animals, domestic and wild and would much rather see these scumbags pay their dept to society by being injected with a deadly virus to help find a cure as opposed to an innocent animal. I have so much to say on this subject, but this is supposed to be a short comment so I will end here.. I’m sure you all get my point.
It’s too terrible … why did she have to face this? She wasn’t doing anything wrong. The criminals were clearly pleasure criminals and should have been severely punished. Is the human rights of the perpetrator more important than the human rights of the victim? Japanese law is crazy.
🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺yaaa😭😭😭😭
did u know they found her body by mistake? The police were investigating a different case and were searching and then they found it.It took to years for them to find her body may she rest in peace for those boys who did that to her I HOPE THEY ROPE IN HELL BECAUSE OF WHAT THEY HAVE DONE HER DEATH IS THE 2ND WORST DEATH IN THE WORLD FUCK THEM THEY SHOULD STILL BE IN JAIL RIGHT NOW OR DEAD.

Yeah she was so hung to be in hell really not in hell but I bet she fill that she was in hell with that guy that junio furuta did not like😭😭😭😭
I think I would gladly trade years in prison just to beat the sh** out of these guys. This is the worst kind of murder I’ve read, and the most enraging part is the light sentences. I believe in second chances, but not for these guys.
That’ why people should support death penalty or we should wait until it’s happen to our family.
Wish I could find their social media accounts to talk shit to them. They deserve to be executed !!!! Wtf is wrong with the Japanese government.
Wtf I knowed japan had more rape cases but i thought that could be a good country wrf is this I cant believe they are out of jail…!!! So they are going to do it with another people they should be dead like that girl they should be tortured people should do sth why they just see without speaking he should be killed with acid pouring on his face suffering the pain more and more with eating his dumb ass shit
I hope the people who killed her get stabbed 1 million times and tortured so much they are so sos so mean I am crying because of how mean they are they are the worst people ever I hope they die most painful death and longest sentence
The justice system is pathetic, and always seems to be in favor of the male rapist or murderer. Women never get justice for the vile, disgusting sexual assaults that men perpetrate on them. I feel sick to my stomach knowing how this poor young woman was tortured and killed. The four scum bags that ended her life, don’t deserve to be breathing. It should be a life for a life. They knew what they was doing, and like most men, they know the justice system will favor them. They never serve more than a few miniscule years in jail, when they’re let out to do the exact same thing again. Where is the justice for this poor victim? When will male judges do their jobs properly? When will women worldwide get the justice they deserve? Enough is enough!!
i have never been so fucking enraged by a case as i an by this, these people were fucking psychopathic killers and all they got was around 20 years in prison, i am physically horrified by the state of our planet and how a group of men could genuinely do this to a sweet child and completely ignore how fucking horrendous it is, y’all need to sort your shit out.
I’m an older women and at that time I was her age. My girls asked me if I remember or heard of this horrible story of this beautiful angel that had to go through this fucked up situation. I said yes, but obviously as time passes you forgot about it! Never thought I would be putting a statement of these pieces of shits so call men in writing. In my eyes I will do exactly what they did to her, stick anything and everything up their assholes and see how they like it. If I had powers trust me they will all be in my hands suffering just like her.
This possibly is one of the most diabolical murders I ever read and its so evil its like the tormentors where demons and that poor angel was so blameless and a kind popular girl with so much promise was killed in such a vile sickening way it brings me to tears every time I read some thing about this case it stays with me god bless Jun Chan may you one day get justice you so richly deserve.
Weird.. where is the punishment? I would also check their parents..
This messed up I hope those boys die I can’t even imagine how they are treating their wife’s now
They had to suffer in prison for the rest of their lifes but they are out
They deserve a death sentence
[…] Junko Furuta’s horrible fate Furuta was biking home from her part-time job one day when a random boy assaulted her. A classmate named Hiroshi Miyano happened to be across the street during this encounter. He genially offered to walk Furuta home after the assailant ran away.What Furuta didn’t realize at the time was that the whole thing was staged. She didn’t realize Miyano still harbored ill feelings from when she had romantically rejected him. She had no way of knowing that he and his friends (Kamisaku Jo, Nobuharu Minato, and Yasushi Watanabe) had plans to abduct & rape her. […]
Alter das ist echt zum kotzen den sollte man mit der Zange du Fussnägel raus ziehen und stück für für stück den rest ihrer Weichteile abgeschnitten werden aber in scheiben und dann die teile ins Maul gestopft werden ,und ich hätte dafür gesorgt das die ihre eigene scheisse fressen das was die getan haben ist echt abartig das arme Mädchen musste so leiden ich glaube ich hätte das nicht so lange überstanden .hoffentlich werden die den selben schmerzen erleiden wenn ich heraus finden würde.würde ich dafür sorgen das sie noch schlimmer leiden müssten
Wtf japan is so garbage why did they only get 17 years? Never ever going to japan i’d rather die
They should honestly be killed . Rape was never right neither is abuse and beating. The fact the men had the audacity to beat Junko for winning set me angry. Like, who sets fireworks in peoples anus?Damaging all her body parts they should be killed.
This is fucking disgusting. They deserve to rot. The justice system is such shit nowadays. She was 16. A child. She deserves proper justice. They took her life but they get to keep theirs? Minors or not, they knew it was wrong. The punishment should fit the crime.
Just wish I could peel their each inch of skin by knife and gorge out his eye balls…..
But it’s still not enough for such cheep m***********!!
They should die a way more cruelly!!!!
inshallah they get raped by their wives lmfao fuck u asian mother fucking chinese men who had no rights to touch this poor girl go kys and die u deserve infinite days in hell and the same thing u did to her but to u and those macys fireworks up ur fucking mouth and ass losers.
