Near the occurrence site, found traces of a bear climbing a persimmon tree and footprints. The time of appearance matches when a dog at a nearby house was barking. About 3 m from a house.

In the early morning of October 20, 2025, a bear attacked a male resident in front of a house and entered the home in Omotecho, Yuzawa City, Akita Prefecture. The city set a box trap at the entrance to try to capture it, but as of 8:00 p.m. on the 23rd it had not been caught, and emergency shooting was not used because the location is a residential area.
