Jose Manuel Torres Yake, a 33-year-old Peruvian of Japanese descent arrested in the murder of a 7-year-old girl in Hiroshima in November, first came to Japan under an assumed name in April 2004.
When he was arrested Nov. 30, his name was released to the media as Juan Carlos Pizarro Yagi -- the name stated in his passport -- and his age was given as 30, but Peruvian authorities later confirmed his true identity based on fingerprints supplied by Japanese police.
All Peruvians have to register their fingerprints when they turn 18.
