Ryohei Kikusui, a 36-year-old visitor from Japan, was last seen in San Francisco on July 2, 2013. He was on vacation and did not return to his hotel that day; he never contacted family or friends and did not return to Japan or report to work, which prompted concern.

On July 30, 2013 Kikusui’s backpack was found on the sidewalk near the Golden Gate Bridge. No additional traces of him were located, and the circumstances of his disappearance are unknown. He is described as an Asian male, 5 feet 6 inches tall, about 128 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes; he may have worn glasses.

There have been no significant leads and the case remains unsolved. Does anyone who was in the area in early July 2013 remember seeing Kikusui or his backpack near the bridge?
