As streamer Cashmeow often says that Japan is not exactly how people outside the country picture it, he was at the center of an incident moments ago, which elucidates the same. The streamer was accosted by a group of people, presumably tourists, who later entered the restaurant where the streamer was recovering from the incident and assaulted him.

The streamer appears unhurt but is visibly distressed and angry and has paused his stream for the time being.

Cashmeow was in the restaurant's outer seating area, casually interacting with the chat when he saw a group of tourists harassing two girls. In an effort to distance the group from the girls, he called them over to his table.

One of the tourists who came up to Cashmeow asked him:

The streamer replied:

The tourist answered in the affirmative, confirming that he was not a Japanese citizen.

Cashmeow and the tourist were being friendly with one another until one of the tourist's friends came up to their table and drank water from the streamer's glass. Cash didn't make a big deal of it as he noticed that they were clearly drunk.

The group became rowdy when the streamer made a comment about one of the tourist's watches as he kept his glass back down on the table. The watch was a copy of an expensive one the streamer had on his person.

The group crowded the streamer and started yelling at him in a mix of Japanese and English:

A bystander came by and tried to break up the fight.

At this point, the streamer tried to pick up his equipment from the table and leave, but the angered tourists knocked his phone and tripod down and the stream got paused there.

Later, when he resumed his stream, he appeared shaken by the incident
