Akihabara massacre → 2008 Akihabara massacre – Per current naming convention on events (WP:NCEVENTS), adding a when
before the where and what
is desirable in a majority of cases
. I don't see a reason to make an exception for this article. This would also align the article title with other naming convention-compliant Tokyo-related attacks, such as 1974 Mitsubishi Heavy Industries bombing, 2019 Tokyo car attack, and October 2021 Tokyo attack, making this article title WP:CONSISTENT with similar ones and with the List of vehicle-ramming attacks.

"Based on Katō's messages, commentators referred to the incident as another case of Japan's hikikomori becoming more violent and suicidal."
This sentence from the article seems wrong to me. Katō was a obviously not a hikikomori - he had a steady job outside his home, for instance. The articles cited as support do not say that he was a hikikomori either, they just cite this case in a more global discussion of the impact of social isolation on violence or suicide. This sentence could be changed to something like "as another case of a lonely person in Japan becoming more violent and suicidal." But then, this is already expressed in the rest of the article and hardly necessary to repeat with three sources here. Should we just remove that sentence?
