Investigation Reveals Late Founder of Japanese Talent Agency for Boy Bands Sexually Assaulted Teens
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

Following a three-month investigation into sexual assault allegations involving the late founder of a prominent talent agency for boy bands, the charges have been deemed credible. The investigative team is now calling for compensation for the victims and the resignation of the current CEO.

The extensive probe, which included interviews with 23 victims, has concluded that Johnny Kitagawa engaged in sexual assault and abuse dating back to the 1950s, impacting at least several hundred individuals.

The investigative panel has outlined specific actions that Johnny & Associates must take, including issuing a formal apology, strengthening compliance measures, and providing education on human rights within the organization. Additionally, Julie Keiko Fujishima, the current CEO, is being urged to resign due to her perceived inaction over the years. It’s worth noting that Kitagawa, the alleged perpetrator, passed away in 2019 without ever facing charges.

Makoto Hayashi, the leader of the investigative team, expressed that the company’s cover-up allowed sexual abuse to persist for an extended period. Critics have pointed to this case as an example of Japan’s limited awareness and understanding of issues related to sexual assault, harassment, and human rights.

In recent months, several men have come forward to allege sexual abuse by Kitagawa during their time as teens. The report anticipates that more individuals may share their experiences in the future.

Despite longstanding rumors and published accounts, Japan’s mainstream media had remained largely silent on this matter until recently. The situation gained international attention when BBC News featured individuals claiming to be victims of Kitagawa’s abuse.

Further pressure came from the U.N. Working Group on Business and Human Rights, which called on the Japanese government to take action and accused the mainstream media of covering up the allegations.

According to the allegations, Kitagawa would invite aspiring singers and dancers, often minors, to stay at his luxurious residence. It was understood that when he instructed one of them to go to bed early, it signaled “their turn” to those involved.

The victims reported being raped by Kitagawa at the ages of 14 or 15 and receiving 10,000 yen (approximately $100) bills afterward. They also expressed fear of repercussions if they refused.

The report encourages more individuals to come forward, assuring them of privacy protection and stressing that no material evidence of a sexual attack is required. Those who have already spoken out continue to suffer from profound trauma, often unable to confide in anyone, even their own families, and experiencing ongoing flashbacks and depression.
