Kick Streamer Drops His Pants at Tokyo’s Most Notoriously Cursed Grave

Kickstreamer Ainosuke made headlines by disrespectfully defiling one of Tokyo's most cursed grave sites. On August 19, the livestreamer visited Masakado-zuka, the memorial to 10th-century rebel Taira no Masakado in Otemachi. During the streaming session, Ainosuke climbed onto the stone monument, embraced it, and made exaggerated cries into a camera placed on the ground.
He also exposed himself and gave the middle finger. The incident quickly went viral, causing alarm even among streaming community members. Masakado, a powerful warrior who rebelled against the imperial court, is infamous for his vengeful spirit in Japanese folklore. Legend has it that his severed head refused to decay and landed near Otemachi, making Masakado-zuka a site associated with terrible luck if disturbed.
The Masakado-zuka Preservation Association has reportedly contacted police over the incident, though it remains unclear whether authorities or the vengeful spirit will confront Ainosuke first.
