During the holiday food shopping rush, a 64-year old homeless man in Hokkaido—dubbed the "seafood samurai" by Mainichi Daily News—tried to steal a king crab from a supermarket when a suspicious security guard asked him what he was hiding in his jacket. In a drunken panic, the guy positioned the crab leg like a samurai sword and stabbed the guard in the Adam's apple.
Here's a description of the weapon:
The frozen crab, which measured 50 centimeters long and weighed two kilograms, had been imported from Russia and was priced at 10,000 yen. It was sold with its three walking legs on either side tied in bundles, forming firm faggots of pereiopods to joust with.
And a quote from the perpetrator:
I really wanted to eat crab.
