A: Hey, did you hear about the funny-not-so-funny story?
B: No, what's up?

A: So, this 16-year-old kid from Tokyo made a video of his friend putting an unwrapped condom in a plate return at a sushi restaurant!
B: Haha, that sounds like something you'd do! But why is it not funny?

A: Well, the video went viral and caused trouble for the sushi chain. They had to clean and respond to complaints from customers.
B: Oh no, poor sushi people! What did the kid say about it all?

A: He said he just wanted to see how his friends would react, didn't think about the consequences. Now, they're referring him to prosecutors.
B: Woah, that's serious! The sushi chain said they've cooperated with the police and hope nothing like this happens again.

Tokyo police have referred a teenager to prosecutors for performing an unhygienic prank at an outlet of a major conveyor-belt sushi restaurant chain earlier this year.



The 16-year-old boy was a high school student at the time living in Kita Ward, Tokyo.



Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department officials say the teenager took a video of his friend placing an unwrapped condom in a chute used to return empty plates at a Kura Sushi restaurant in Toshima Ward.



The video went viral in March after the boy shared it online. The sushi chain's business was obstructed as it had to disinfect the outlet and respond to customer complaints.



The teenager reportedly told police he wanted to see how his friends would react to his prank, and didn't give much thought to possible consequences.



Kura Sushi told NHK that it has been cooperated with the police investigation and hopes something like this never happens again.
