Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8)	Illustrate and identify the perpetrator of the attack during the incident Provide commentary about the depicted subject and related incident.
Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1)	Irreplaceable, the depicted subject is deceased, and this is a unique historic image from a one-time event.

Not replaceable with textual coverage because (WP:NFCC#1)	The main intention of this image is to illustrate a key figure of the article, of whom no free images are known to exist and (as previously stated) could likely never be created.
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3)	This image is intended for sole use in a specific section of the related article, and is of inferior portion, size, and quality in relation to the original file.
Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2)	*As stated before, this image is of low resolution quality (304 × 322 px). Image is irreplaceable, owing to its unique nature. This image covers a portion that effectively illustrates the depicted subject. Image is intended to be used only once, said use being in a specific section of the related article. Image is not being used for profit or any other commercial purposes. Image has already been widely distributed in better quality, higher resolution, and greater size than seen here. This image is greatly relevant to a specific section of the related article, and its use is intended to help increase the reader's understanding of the article's related topic. In addition to the above information, the central subject that this image is intended to illustrate has been deceased since July 26, 2022, making the creation of an image under a free license dedicating it to the public domain impossible. Date, sources, and likely copyright holder(s) have been appropriately credited. This image will be used for solely educational, encyclopedic, and non-commercial purposes and the use of this image does not intend to infringe on copyright in any way.
Other information	The authorship of this image is unclear, but it is likely a photograph taken by an unknown bystander to the incident, and this particular version of the image was shown on a Japanese TV news program.
