The man who threatened the company is reportedly a local public servant in his 20s

After multiple persistent threats against attendees and staff that led to the cancellation of the major Nintendo Live event in Tokyo in December 2023, Japanese police have reportedly arrested the person responsible. According to the Kyoto-based daily newspaper Kyoto Shimbun , police have an unnamed man linked to the threats in custody.

Usually held in Japan, Nintendo Live jumped to the states in September 2023, with the company intending to bring it back to the Land of the Rising Sun this past January. However, persistent threats made against both event goers and employees forced Nintendo to cancel it outright in December 2023.
