Twitch IRL streamer stops stalker from harassing woman on the streets of Tokyo

IRL Twitch streamer Sam "Sammit" recently stopped a creep from stalking a woman on the streets of Yokyo while livestreaming, garnering praise from his audience. The clip was also shared on the streamer-related subreddit of r/LivestreamFail, attracting many more to comment on how Sam diffused the situation with the stalker, who appeared to be harassing a random woman.

IRL streaming on the streets of Tokyo has become highly popular among content creators, and Sammit is one of the many foreigners living in Japan who have taken to making content on the streets of the far-eastern country, recording its sights and sounds for viewers. While primarily about showcasing Japanese culture, there have been numerous times when IRL streamers have inadvertently recorded unsavory things on camera.

"Sammit is a good dude": Redditors react as IRL streamer intervenes stalker harassing woman on the street

On Sammit's most recent stream, he came across one such unsavory incident while roaming the streets and filming the beauty of Japan. As pointed out by him and his chat, a man constantly approached a random woman who seemed to want nothing to do with him. After watching the stalker repeatedly harass the woman, the content creator commented:

Sam decided to act and, in his broken Japanese, attempted to start a conversation with the creep, allowing the woman to escape his clutches. The man appeared to not listen to the Twitch streamer at first but eventually left the woman alone, appearing flustered after being confronted by him.

According to his bio, Sammit's Japanese is not very good, but the bit worked and drove the harasser away from the woman. Non-Japanese viewers were quite curious about how he got the man to back off, with many Redditors asking under the clip for clarification.

As per Reddit replies, the streamer was pretending to know the man, calling him Satou.

While it wasn't a lot, the small effort from Sammit was enough to stop the harasser. Many commended him for his innovative approach, with some describing the stalker as 'Nanpa':

Another Redditor mentioned that the street where the incident occurred between Sammit and the stalker had a store called Shibuya Angel.

Robcdee is yet another Australian national who does a lot of IRL streaming in Japan. His philanthropic deeds, including dissuading stalkers from harassing women on the streets of Tokyo, have earned him the nickname 'Angel of Shibuya,' making this quite an apt comparison.
