General Intention - Gagaita Ikkoi

… In addition, there are two types of intent: definite intent, where the occurrence of a result is recognized as certain, and uncertain intent, where the occurrence is recognized as uncertain. The latter can be further divided into general intent, where the occurrence of a result is certain but it is uncertain who and how many people the result will affect, such as when firing at a crowd; alternative intent, where it is uncertain whether the result will affect A or B, such as when firing with the intention of killing either A or B; and imprecise intent, where the occurrence of the result itself is recognized as uncertain, such as when firing while thinking that it may end up killing A. Negligence [Katsuzo Horiuchi]
[Civil Code]
Intent is a cause of liability for damages that is on par with negligence, but it is not a lack of willpower as in negligence, but rather refers to the state of intention to perform an act while recognizing and accepting the occurrence of a consequence.
