Joji Obara was a serial rapist with an estimated 400 victims. His victims included British national Lucie Blackman and Australian model Carita Ridgway, both of whom he murdered. Evidence in his trial included approximately 400 videos he shot himself, which showed him engaged in date rape.
Lucie had previously worked as a flight attendant for British Airways, before deciding to spend a year in Tokyo with a friend. She worked as a hostess at a nightclub called Casablanca and on July 1 2000 she went on a paid date with a customer.
After failing to return her friend's calls following the date, Lucie's family flew to Tokyo to start a highly publicised campaign to find her.
Despite his conviction, Obara has maintained his innocence, claiming the drugs Lucie had consumed were voluntarily self-administered.
