Comedy “Ranjatai” comedian Koji Ito announces hiatus from showbiz activities， saying he is “truly sorry” for having an inappropriate relationship with an underage girl．
August 11, 2024 11:08 a.m. The official website of the entertainment agency “Grape Company” was updated on the 11th, announcing that Koji Ito of the comedy duo “Ranjatai” will be suspending his entertainment activities after it was discovered that he had had a relationship with an underage girl. “It has come to light that Ito has had a relationship with an underage girl. After a detailed investigation, we discovered that Ito had lied about her age and that the identification she had shown was also fake, so she was acting without knowing that the person was a minor.” “Although there was a misconception about her age, we take seriously the fact that she was severely lacking in awareness and responsibility for the position she found herself in, and have come to the decision that a hiatus from her entertainment activities is unavoidable,” she said in announcing her hiatus. “We deeply apologize to all those involved and to our fans for the great inconvenience and concern caused,” the company said in an apology. “Ito also takes this incident very seriously and is deeply remorseful. In order to prevent recurrence, we will provide Ito with thorough guidance and provide him with mental care and support. As for when they will resume activities, we will carefully assess the situation and make a decision, and will report back to you later.” They explained, “Their activities as a duo will be temporarily suspended until Ito’s return, but her partner Kunizaki will continue her activities.” His comments are also included. “I would like to offer my deepest, sincere apologies for causing so much trouble and concern to so many people due to my thoughtless actions. “We would like to once again apologize to all those involved and to everyone who has supported us.” “I deeply regret this incident and will thoroughly reexamine myself. I will be suspending my activities as a way of taking responsibility for what I have done, and will work hard to regain people’s trust. I am truly sorry,” he wrote. See the source for more details.
>>15 Eiko-chan is the one who the god of laughter descends upon, but he doesn’t know how to make it come down. The god of laughter there descends when Eiko-chan tries to take it seriously.
>It turns out that Ito herself had been lied about her age by the man, and the ID she checked was also fake, so she acted without knowing that she was a minor. So does that mean she was prostituting herself to find a sugar daddy?
>>19 There have been rumors that Ito has been hunting down young female fans through DMs and making a mess of things He also follows only women with private accounts on Instagram, and unlike Kunizaki, he is kept at a distance by his fellow comedians.
>>19 She was deceived into engaging in compensated dating, and ended up being suspended for something that turned out to be illegal. The entertainment industry is tough.
It’s rare to find someone as useless as this guy who doesn’t give in to jealousy He barely talks and it seems like his friends are being considerate when they talk to him The other one is fine too.
Ito – what are you doing? Has anyone been able to get back on track after dealing with minors? I can only imagine him wandering through hell like Gokuraku Yamamoto.
