During his 2 1/2 years on the run, he underwent several rounds of plastic surgery in several different hospitals, including one in Osaka. It seems highly unlikely to me that none of the doctors or hospital staff in any of those hospitals recognized him as a wanted fugitive.
Soon after Ichihashi was identified as a suspect, his mug was posted on police wanted boards and his photo was aired nationwide by NHK and other broadcasters. How could so many people have failed to recognize him?
