Otoya Yamaguchi is the young man in the picture having just run a katana through Inejirō Asanuma thus killing him, at the time Inejirō was leader of Japans largest sodalist movement and gaining huge traction until his demise. Here is the video of the assassination - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4KROpdUkrM

"The politician who was stabbed was Inejiro Asanuma, the leader of Japan’s Socialist Party, whose support for the Chinese Communist Party and criticism of the U.S were considered extremely controversial ideas. His position was made even more delicate by the fact that he allegedly had once opposed everything he now stood for." A dem, then?

Never made it to a Jury. Samurai choose Suicide over Capture, and Otoya Yamaguchi took his life in his cell, leaving a note that read something like "Seven Lives for my Country. Long Live the Emperor!"
