He is into Anime mostly and spent a lot of time in Akihabara. That's why he rented a truck and actually drove to Tokyo from a few hours south to kill people there. He used a mobile Internet bulletin to announce his killing spree, saying he has bought knives and wanted to stab people. Unfortunately, no one reacted and he could carry out his plan.
