In Kawaguchi city, Saitama prefecture, Japan, friction has arisen between the Kurdish community and local residents who view them as “fake refugees” exploiting Japan’s asylum system for economic gain, believing they face no persecution in Turkey, as their refugee claims are nearly always rejected. Residents report frequent disturbances: loud late-night gatherings, littering in neighborhoods, illegal parking blocking streets, and reckless driving endangering pedestrians.
A 2023 hospital brawl disrupted medical services, and a 2025 chase targeting a local councilor’s vehicle heightened fears of lawlessness. Other incidents include verbal harassment of residents and stalking residents. X posts amplify anger, accusing police of procrastination, as suspects often go uncharged. Locals hesitate to report issues, fearing retaliation, which fuels frustration. Social media calls for deportations highlight cultural clashes.
The "fuck you!" incident happened at Nishikawaguchi Station in Kawaguchi City.
