EXCLUSIVE: Good Smile Company, which licenses toy production for Disney, acquired a 30 percent share in 4chan—the toxic image board—for its $2.4 million investment.
Kawakami “was afraid that Nishimura could be arrested by the police,” says Sei, author of the upcoming book. Sei recently interviewed Kawakami. “So he dismissed Nishimura as a director.” The two, however, remained friends, he says.
Kawakami, Sei says, “wanted the opportunity, through the 4chan business, to make inroads into the US and world markets. He had a special interest in this business.” Those discussions, according to Kawakami, went on to a “very late stage.” It birthed QAnon, grew the incel movement, and was cited by multiple mass shooters around the world as a direct source of inspiration. Its users generated a dizzying amount of disinformation around the 2020 presidential election, deployed swattings to go after their detractors, and produced an enormous amount of far-right, racist, anti-Semitic, misogynistic, and queerphobic memes.
