I was originally thinking it was the Yakuza but sounds like it was a lone nutter with a homemade shotgun.

Here's a video of it:

Very strange. The Japs won't take too kindly to things like that.

There are usually low single figure gun homicides in a year in Japan. This is extremely rare.

I'm not sure I'd want to fire a shotgun I made myself!!!

It sounded more like a bazooka than a shotgun tbh
