The shooter was said to have targeted Shinzo Abe for allegedly having ties to a controversial group.
Part of the reason is because his grandfather, Nobusuke Kishi - who was also Japan's prime minister - was believed to have been close to it due to its anti-communist nature. And when Mr Abe appeared remotely as a speaker at an Unification Church-related event last September, Yamagami was convinced.
Forty-one years old and unemployed, Yamagami also belongs to what is known here as "the employment ice age".In Japan, becoming a permanent employee is seen as a traditional marker of success. People are often identified as belonging to a "winning" team or "losing" team .
