Nevada-tan, you sure are famous...!
Slit her classmate's throat with a pair of scissors, 6th grade- which would be elementary school in Korea and Japan. Known as "Nevada" because of the one photograph that surfaced of her- illegally, too, as in Japan you are not supposed to divulge images of underage criminals- she got the affectionate honorific on...2chan? I forget, precisely.
The reason soon surfaced: her classmate had spread nasty rumors about Nevada-tan online, there was a confrontation, then in a fit of rage, Nevada-tan picked up the scissors.
Since then, there's been at least a song written about her- R-Shitei's "Nevada" that has nothing to do with the state.
And then, a couple of years later, another underage- although older girl- from the same school, killed another classmate and a woman. Sasebo became famous for a spell.
