Template:Short description Template:Family name hatnote
Sin Gwang-su (Korean: Script error: No such module "Lang".; Hanja: Script error: No such module "Lang".Template:Category handler; Japanese: 立山富蔵 (Tateyama Tomizō), born June 27, 1929) is a North Korean national suspected of espionage for North Korea. He is wanted by Japanese authorities for his alleged participation in abductions of Japanese citizens during the 1970s and 1980s.[1] He is sometimes known as Shin Kwang Soo.[2]
Shin Gwang-su is believed to have participated in the disappearance of Tadaaki Hara in Miyazaki Prefecture, Japan, in June 1980 with a South Korean national named Kim Kil Uk.[3] A United Nations report concludes that the North Korean agent Shin Gwang-su later passed himself off as Hara in Japan. He also used his passport and traveled to different countries, including South Korea.
History
Gwang-su was apprehended by South Korean law enforcement in 2014, using Tadaaki Hara's name to pass himself off as Japanese.[4]
After his arrest, he admitted to the South Korean authorities that he was involved in abducting Hara and relocating him to North Korea.[4]
