Cream Lemon Actress Azumi Muto Brutally Murdered
Date: 1/12/2007
The Mainichi Daily News reports: Student and aspiring 20-year-old actress Azumi Muto's brutally hacked and mutilated body was stuffed into four garbage bags found inside her home in Tokyo's Shibuya-ku. Shortly after Azumi's remains were discovered on Jan. 3, her 21-year-old brother, Yuki, also a student trying to get into dental college, was arrested for her murder on Dec. 30.

She also starred in the direct-to-DVD movie "Cream Lemon," which gave a disturbingly prophetic view of her untimely demise.

"Cream Lemon" told the story of step-siblings in love, and is extremely popular among Japan's otaku geeks. Originally a manga series that ran into hundreds of editions with each story focusing on an incestuous relationship between a young man and a younger sister, "Cream Love" was also made into a hit feature film in 2004. Azumi starred in one of the movie's low budget sequels, which ended with a female character wailing in ecstasy as she engaged in incestuous sex with her brother. It was while making this film that Azumi apparently began to worry about her older brother.
