Sengoku / Jesus Ark / Japan

Cult leader 'Sengoku Jesus' Dies

Takeyoshi Sengoku, the founder of a controversial religious cult, Jesus Ark, that hit the headlines in 1980, has died at age 78. He attracted considerable public attention when his followers — mostly young women who had family problems — severed contact with their relatives between 1978 and 1980. The press nicknamed him "Sengoku Jesus," and reported that his followers had been "spirited away."  After 1980, following the dissolution of his group, Sengoku settled in Fukuoka Prefecture and managed a bar, where he held Bible study sessions. He also worked as a private counselor for local residents. (Japan Times, Kyodo, 12/15/01, Internet)
