   Arson suspect likely sent novel to KyoAni   
   Full story:    
      
   A man with the same name as the suspect in the fatal arson attack on   
   Kyoto Animation Co.’s studio submitted a novel to the company in the   
   past, a lawyer for Kyoto Animation said Tuesday.   
      
   Police have obtained an arrest warrant for Shinji Aoba, 41, from Minuma   
   Ward, Saitama, on suspicion of murder and other allegations involving   
   the arson attack that killed 35 people in Fushimi Ward, Kyoto.   
      
   Aoba reportedly made comments accusing the company of stealing his novel   
   at the time he was apprehended by police. However, Kyoto Animation   
   lawyer Daisuke Okeda has said, “I’m positive none of the works created   
   by the company are identical or similar to the novel.”   
      
   Kyoto Animation announced on July 20 — two days after the incident —   
   that it had not received a novel from the suspect. However, the company   
   subsequently decided to recheck submissions after the media reported   
   part of Aoba’s address and other information, and discovered a work from   
   someone with the same name and address as the suspect, according to Okeda.   
      
   The novel did not pass the first screening because it did not follow the   
   proper format. Information on the novel was therefore not disseminated   
   within the company, resulting in the announcement that the suspect had   
   made no submission, the lawyer said.   
      
   The company has held the Kyoto Animation Awards since 2009, soliciting   
   novels and other works from the public and then choosing winners to be   
   published under its KA Esuma Bunko label or made into anime. Whether   
   Aoba submitted his novel for the awards is unknown.
