 The suspect, who did not work for the studio, entered the front door carrying about {{Convert|40|L||abbr=}} of [[gasoline]] and doused the area and several employees before igniting it. After setting himself on fire while lighting the fuel, the suspect attempted to flee, but was apprehended by police about {{convert|100|m|ft}} from the building. Witnesses stated they heard him accusing the studio of [[plagiarism]]. After awaiting his recovery from life-threatening burns for more than ten months, the police arrested 42-year-old Shinji Aoba on suspicion of murder and other offenses on 27 May 2020,<ref name="nikkei_20200527_suspectarrest"/> and he was formally indicted on 16 December 2020.
 
-In addition to condolences and messages of support from world and national leaders, fans and businesses raised over ¥3.3&nbsp;billion in Japan and over US$2.3&nbsp;million internationally to help the studio and its employees recover. As a result of the incident, some works and collaborations by the studio were delayed, and several events were cancelled or suspended.
