Events on the Day of the First Oral Argument at the Tokyo District Court

Introduction

On May 9, 2025, I posted "I Actually Stood in Court for the Eviction Lawsuit – 2nd Edition."

This eviction lawsuit is closely related to the incidents I have been claiming as "unimaginable human rights violations."

From the submission of the written answer to the handling at the Tokyo High Court’s record viewing room, I encountered various suspicious incidents within the court premises.

I understand that the events that took place in the courtroom lack objective evidence, as they occurred in a closed setting.

Additionally, posting about these suspicious incidents on social media may negatively impact the court's impression of me.

Nevertheless, I have decided to document these events.

In this post, I will record what happened before, during, and after the first oral argument held in Courtroom 633 of the Tokyo District Court at 10:30 a.m. on October 24, 2024.

Inside the Courthouse

State Before Leaving Home on the Day

First, I will describe my state before leaving home that day.

It is clear that I had hardly slept, but this is nothing unusual for me.
Regarding the record stating "I was awake," I believe the accurate expression should be "I was kept awake."
I feel that my sleep is artificially controlled, not based on my physical condition.

Even when I feel as though I have slept, it is unclear whether I actually slept deeply.
It is not uncommon for me to remember three different dreams in one night.
Sometimes, I can vaguely recall the content of two of those dreams.

Inside the Courthouse

From Entering the Courthouse to Waiting in the Waiting Room

After entering the courthouse, I first used the restroom and then spent some time in the lobby on the first floor.
Later, I moved to the waiting room on the sixth floor, where Courtroom 633 is located, and sat on the right side near the entrance.

After some time, a woman and a group of 2-3 people entered the waiting room. I do not remember the order in which they entered.

The woman, who entered alone, sat across from me and took out a laptop, quietly typing on the keyboard.
I immediately suspected her to be someone connected to the human experimentation organization.

Afterward, both the woman and the group left, and I was alone in the waiting room again.

From Being Called by the Court Clerk to Before the Oral Argument Began

As the time for the oral argument approached, a person who appeared to be a court clerk came to call me.
He gave a different impression than the person who had handled my document submission.
The voice calling my name was that of a young man.

The court clerk walked so quickly that I could barely keep up, his footsteps echoing with a "click-clack" sound as he proceeded to the courtroom.

I followed the court clerk into the courtroom, and he exited through a rear door.

Inside the courtroom, three attorneys representing the plaintiff were already seated.
After I took my seat, the court clerk returned and took his position.

After a brief moment, a "patter" sound echoed across the ceiling behind the plaintiff’s side, moving from the back of the courtroom toward the entrance.
Soon after, a similar sound echoed in the reverse direction. Each trip lasted about 2-3 seconds.

Despite the unusual nature of the sound, the three attorneys and the court clerk appeared unfazed.
I did not say anything either.

This was because I had a hunch that if I asked about the sound, they would respond, "It’s a common occurrence."

At this point, I began to harbor strong suspicions not only toward the legal team but also toward the court.

After the initial back-and-forth of the sound, the court clerk once again left the courtroom.

After that, a similar round trip of sound occurred about two more times.
The sound seemed to be continuing in another courtroom or outside the courtroom.

Then, the court clerk returned, and the judge entered the courtroom. However, the judge soon exited the courtroom.

Oral Argument

The judge reentered the courtroom and, before commencing the trial, he shouted, "Everything is fine," in a loud voice.
This surprised not only me but also the legal team.

Based on what I had researched online, in civil trials, the judge usually asks, "Do you state as per the complaint?" and both the plaintiff and defendant simply respond, "Yes," and that would be it.
However, in my case, I was asked to provide several explanations.

I believed that the plaintiff’s claim should be dismissed due to inconsistencies in the reasons for eviction and the possibility that the renewal provision in the contract violated Article 30 of the Act on Land and Building Leases.
However, it felt as though that argument was entirely disregarded.

During the argument, the judge initiated the topic of compensation by saying, "There is a proposal for a revised amount," to which the attorney responded.
This gave me the impression that there had been prior communication between the judge and the plaintiff’s legal team.

Notably, in the front center of the spectator seating area, a small, slender, young woman wearing glasses was seated alone.

From the End of the Oral Argument to Exiting the Courtroom

After the oral argument ended, the judge exited, followed by the legal team.
The court clerk then briskly walked back to the plaintiff’s side, as he had when he called me in the waiting room, with distinct "click-clack" footsteps.
He locked the door at the plaintiff’s entrance.

When I exited from the defendant’s entrance, the court clerk again swiftly approached to lock the door.
When I looked at his face, it appeared unnaturally pale, almost as if he were wearing makeup.

When our eyes met, I felt strongly that he was the same court clerk who had handled the submission of my written answer.
However, I also felt that the clerk who had been standing in the courtroom during the "patter" sound before the oral argument was a different person.

From Exiting the Courtroom to Leaving the Courthouse

Standing in front of the elevator closest to the courtroom was a woman.
I could not definitively say whether she was the same person as the spectator in the courtroom, but I intuitively felt suspicious of her.

The moment I saw her waiting alone, a memory of an incident at LEC Suidobashi Main Campus on March 18, 2018, flashed through my mind.

At that time, the lecture hall was filled with people in suits, and after the lecture, there was a suspicious incident in front of the elevators.

The farthest elevator from the courtroom opened, and the "down" lamp was lit.
I hurried toward it, but a man quickly stepped inside, and the door closed before I could get in.

The man must have clearly seen me heading for the elevator.
This heightened my suspicion toward the woman I had seen earlier.

Eventually, the elevator the woman was waiting for arrived, and she entered it.
I calmly checked the direction indicator and confirmed it was going up, so I did not board.

Between the submission of the written answer and the filing of the appeal, I visited the court multiple times.
However, I rarely saw people on the floors I visited.
Excluding tour groups, at most one or two people would be waiting in the elevator hall.

On this day, after the first oral argument, there were about ten people waiting in the elevator hall.

Epilogue

From the time I entered the courthouse until I exited, I felt a heaviness in my eyelids.
It was a different sensation from the fatigue or drowsiness I experienced at home and might have been artificially induced.

On April 17, 2025, a combination of these attacks began gradually while I was in the record viewing room of the Tokyo High Court, and I experienced a slightly frightening and dangerous incident in the subway on my way home.
I intend to post about this incident later.

In this post, I recorded even seemingly trivial details.

The trial is still ongoing, but considering the possibility of further obstructions to my attendance at the appellate trial, I will continue to document these events as thoroughly as possible.

Here is the journal entry for the time period when I went out for the first oral argument.
