An X account that appears to have belonged to the deceased suspect has violent anti-LGBTQ messages dating back to 2018.
The X account isn’t the only social media profile that appears to have been maintained by Ikeguchi. On a Gab account linked to directly by the X account, a user appearing to be Ikeguchi described himself as “Anti-zionism, Anti-jesuits, and Anti-paganism” in his bio, adding “same-sex marriage should be abolished.”
In a pinned Gab post from January 2021, the user appearing to be Ikeguchi wrote, “We need to STOP COMPROMISING on this LGBT dictatorship and not let them take over our lives! Stop accepting this abomination that the government is forcing us to submit to these mentally disordered tyrants!”The Gab profile is no longer public, appearing to have been removed within the last several days.
