Police looking for missing Japanese student not seen in over a week

Police in the Lower Mainland are issuing a renewed public plea in the hopes of finding a missing Japanese student.

Thirty-year-old Natsumi Kogawa has been studying English in Vancouver and friends became concerned earlier this week when they couldn’t contact her. She was last seen at her home in Burnaby on Sept. 7.

Kogawa is 4’11” tall with a slim build, long hair and brown eyes. She may be carrying a black backpack.

Anyone who knows the whereabouts of Natsumi Kogawa is asked to contact the Burnaby RCMP at 604-294-7922, or call 911.
