Chikan (Train groping)
In Japan, more than 4000 men are arrested each year for groping on public transport.
In 2001, a survey of two private high-schools in Tokyo revealed that more than 70% had been groped on the train.
A recent survey of Japanese companies suggested that at least 17% of Japanese women have been groped in public.
The Groper?s Brotherhood
Meanwhile, what of the gropers? Who?s thinking about the degenerates? All they ever wanted was to reach out and touch another human being. On the buttocks, or maybe on the breasts. Is that a crime?
Fortunately, help is at hand. You need look no further than Shigeru Oohori: ?elite salariman?, loving husband/father, and head of ?Chikan Tomo-No-Kai? (?The Groper?s Brotherhood?). He has assembled a 40-strong group of deviants from all walks of life, including teachers, government officials and a Buddhist priest (Buddhism seems to have an ambiguous attitude to molesting strangers in public places). Not just any horny freak can join though: a black belt 5th dan groper is expected to cop 100 sleazy feels a month.
According to Oohori, gropers come in two main categories. ?Orthodox? gropers, about 80% of the fondling population, get their kicks from the girl?s look of disgust and embarrassment. The ?Technician? is a rarer and far more admirable breed. With practiced technique, they subtly titillate their gropees into a state of subconscious arousal.
This chikan elite meet once a month in a Tokyo café to touch base and play with some new ideas. Over the internet, they warn each other of police crack-downs on certain train-lines. They even run practical mauling workshops, hiring girls to be bothered by them on crowded commuter trains, and offering criticism and tips.
There are special ? image clubs? (imekura) catering for chikan, with tailor-made rooms built to look like subway carriages, and prostitutes paid extra to act like unsuspecting commuters.
In the words of their sensei: ?Groping was once a solitary activity, but now thanks to the Internet it?s become easy to link up with people who share the same kind of sexual interests.?
