[7] Two gunmen shot him and stole his car. [5] The shooting occurred during a crime wave in Kenya, [8] which targeted foreigners and occurred in the early 1990s. [9]

As of 1999 the school had a total of 45 students, among them children of employees of the Embassy of Japan in Nairobi, Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), trading companies, and the Japanese school itself. As a result of the overall small size of the school, the class sizes were also small, ranging from two to nine. Some students were born in Kenya and had lived there all their lives, and most students stayed for the durations of their fathers' employment terms of two to three years. [10] Most students lived in the "River Side" housing development. [11]
