KYOTO -- A memorial ceremony was held Tuesday to mark four years since the deadly arson attack at Kyoto Animation Co.'s No. 1 studio in Fushimi Ward, Kyoto, in which 36 people were killed.
During the ceremony at the former site of the studio, about 160 people, including bereaved families and employees of Kyoto Animation, better known by anime fans as KyoAni, offered silent prayers for the victims at around 10:30 a.m., the time when the incident took place.
The ceremony, held in a tent, was closed to the public.
