{{Quote|It wasn't like I felt like eating someone every time I was hungry. But you know how you tend to feel a stronger sexual desire when you've eaten a full meal? That's when I would start feeling the urge to eat a girl.|Sagawa talks about his crime in an interview.}}
'''Issei Sagawa''' (April 26<sup>th</sup>, 1949 - November 24<sup>th</sup>, 2022) was a Japanese man who in 1981 killed and cannibalized a Dutch woman named Renée Hartevelt in Paris.<ref name = sagawa></ref> Despite being caught and put on trial, he achieved notoriety for avoiding a prison sentence and remained free until his death. Further disdain towards Sagawa arises from him becoming a minor celebrity in Japan and profiting from his crime.<ref>[https://nypost.com/2018/10/20/issei-sagawa-the-cannibal-who-became-a-folk-hero-in-japan/ Meet the cannibal who became a folk hero in Japan], ''New York Post''</ref>
