The {{nihongo|'''Sayama Incident'''|狭山事件|Sayama Jiken}} is a murder case named after the Japanese city of [[Sayama, Saitama]], where it took place. The incident, in which a man was imprisoned for 31 years, highlighted official discrimination against Japan's ''[[burakumin]]'' caste.

The note asked to bring [[¥]]200,000 (approximately US$556 at the time) to a place close to her house at 12:00 am on May 2. Her sister, who later committed suicide, brought fake money to the designated place, with many policemen surrounding the site. Although a man came to her and exchanged words, he became suspicious and escaped into the night before the police could catch him.[[File:The victim of the Sayama incident.JPG|thumb|280px(contracted; show full){{commons category|Sayama incident}}
