between March 1984 and August 1985, an unknown criminal — or maybe a whole group — extorted and terrorized some of Japan’s biggest snack manufacturers. Before long, a simple trip to the candy aisle had become a national act of courage — because one bite could’ve been your last.

The “Glico-Morinaga Case” is one of the strangest, most fascinating, and most unsettling stories to come out of 1980s Japan — a wild mix of kidnapping, ransom demands, mysterious letters, food poisoning and mass panic. And at the center of it all: One shadowy figure, or maybe several, who remain unknown even today, more than 4 decades later!

This… is the story of The Monster with 21 Faces — 1980s Japan’s biggest mystery.
