An envelope bearing a note saying it was for children orphaned by traffic accidents was delivered to a police station in Niigata City from a person claiming to be “Moonlight Mask,” and a total donation of ¥539 was confirmed.

An envelope containing a donation was found at a police station in Niigata City from a person claiming to be Moonlight Mask. The envelope said, “For people who are struggling because of traffic accidents,” and contained ¥240.
On the same day, a similar envelope was found near Shirone Chuo Police Box. It said, “These are coins I collected one by one every day. I would be happy if they could help, even a little, people who are struggling because of traffic accidents or other hardships,” and contained ¥299.
The donations totaled ¥539. Similar donations had been delivered every New Year’s Eve for more than 50 years to places including Ryotsu Police Box on Sado Island, but this was the first time one had been sent to Niigata Minami Police Station.
The donation will be sent to the prefectural Traffic Accident Orphans Fund and is expected to be used to support children who have lost a parent in a traffic accident. Police said they would not investigate the donor’s identity.
