February 25, 1889 - Satarō Fukiage

Active in early twentieth-century Japan, Fukiage targeted girls and women in a pattern of sexual violence that extended well beyond his confirmed killings. The scale of his offenses — with estimates reaching into the hundreds of victims — made him one of the most extensively documented predatory criminals of his era. His case was notable both for its duration and for the difficulty authorities faced in establishing the full scope of the harm he caused.

Satarō Fukiage (吹上 佐太郎, Fukiage Satarō; February 1, 1889 – September 28, 1926) was a Japanese rapist and serial killer. He killed at least seven girls. He murdered his first victim in 1906, and killed six girls between 1923 and 1924. He was tried for three out of six cases, but his exact number of victims is unknown.

He raped a number of women besides the murder victims and according to one theory, he raped 93 girls and about 100 women. Some estimates say he raped more than 100 women.
