Psychiatric experts deemed Sagawa unfit to face trial, and he was initially held in a mental institution in France before being deported to Japan.

There, he was ruled sane by Japanese authorities, but as the charges against him in France had been dropped, he was allowed to walk free. Sagawa made no secret of his crime and capitalised on his notoriety, including with a novel-like memoir titled In the Fog in which he reminisced about the murder in vivid detail.

He also recounted details of the incident and his ongoing obsession with cannibalism in interviews and a 2017 documentary, Caniba.

Speaking to media outlet Vice, he said he had been “obsessed with cannibalism”. “My desire to eat a woman had changed into an obligation.”
