Kenji Goto kidnappades i oktober förra året av Islamiska staten. För två veckor sedan krävde Islamska staten 200 miljoner dollar i utbyte mot att släppa Goto och ytterligare en japansk gisslan fri.

Yuki Watabe, a 15-year-old high school student in Sapporo, northern Japan, and among those retweeting, said the tweet gave him heartache.

"He was such a wonderful person," he said. "He had a strong sense of doing the right thing."

The message of tolerance seemed to resonate with the thousands of Japanese Twitter users, expressing admiration for Goto's reporting about the suffering of children in Sierra Leone, Afghanistan, Iraq and elsewhere.
