 The {{Nihongo|'''Kyoto Animation arson attack'''|京都アニメーション放火殺人事件|Kyōto Animēshon hōka satsujin jiken|{{literal|Kyoto Animation arson murder incident}}|lead=yes|group=lower-alpha}} occurred at [[Kyoto Animation]]'s Studio&nbsp;1 building in the [[Fushimi-ku, Kyoto|Fushimi]] ward of [[Kyoto]], [[Kyoto Prefecture]], Japan, on the morning of 18 July 2019. The [[arson]] killed 36 people, injured an additional 34 (including the suspect), and destroyed most of the materials and computers in Studio&nbsp;1. It is one of the [[List of massacres in Japan|deadliest massacres in Japan]] since the end of [[World War II]], the deadliest building fire in Japan since the 2001 [[Myojo 56 building fire]], and the first [[massacre]] ever to have occurred at a studio associated with an entertainment company, and the [[animation industry]].
 
-The suspect, who did not work for the studio, entered the front door carrying about {{Convert|40|L||abbr=}} of [[gasoline]], then 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"/> He was formally indicted on 16 December 2020.

 In addition to condolences and messages of support from national and international leaders, fans and businesses raised over {{JPYConvert|3300000000|year=2019|to=USD|showdate=no}} in Japan and over US$2.3&nbsp;million internationally to help the studio and its employees recover. A special measure was passed by the [[National Diet]] to allow for donations to the studio to be tax-exempt.<ref name="hr_20191220_interview" /> As a result of the incident, some works and collaborations by the studio were delayed, and several events were suspended or cancelled.
