On October 7th (Mon) 15:12 Yoshimoto Kogyo announced on its official website that it had terminated its management contract with comedian Jungle Pocket member Shinji Saito (41), following reports that he had been referred to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department on suspicion of non-consensual sexual intercourse. According to sources, Jungle Pocket will continue as a duo. Yoshimoto Kogyo’s Jungle Pocket page has been changed to include photos of only Otake (41) and Hirohisa Ota (40). The company announced, “Announcement of contract termination for Jungle Pocket’s Saito Shinji,” stating, “We would like to inform you that we have today terminated the management contract between our company and Jungle Pocket’s Saito Shinji.” He continued, “Following the news today that Saito had been referred to prosecutors, I would like to first offer my deepest apologies to the victim and all those involved.” “Up until now, we have been taking careful action, including verifying the facts, in consultation with relevant parties and receiving advice from lawyers regarding the suspected serious breach of contract against Saito, while also taking into consideration the parties’ reputation, privacy and health. Today, after consultation with Saito, we have decided to terminate the management contract,” the company explained. “We deeply regret that this situation occurred at a time when we had been stressing to our affiliated talent through training and other means the importance of adhering to the Yoshimoto Kogyo Group Code of Conduct and keeping up with the times, and we take this very seriously,” the company said, adding, “Above all, we would like to offer our deepest apologies to those who were affected and all other parties involved.” The company concluded by saying, “In light of this recent situation, we will once again ask all employees and talents to strictly adhere to our Code of Conduct, to remember that entertainment activities are supported by many people, and to take their responsibilities as members of society seriously.” They added, “We would like to once again apologize to all those involved for the great inconvenience caused by Saito’s suspension of activities, and to all the fans who have supported Fuji.” ★1: 2024/10/07 (Mon) 15:05:28.14.
>>1 Too late They probably knew about it and covered it up, but if the public finds out, they’ll just terminate the contract. Is this criminal talent agency taking it lightly?
“Up until now, we have been taking into consideration the reputation, privacy, and health of the parties involved, while receiving advice from lawyers, and have been responding carefully, including verifying the facts, in consultation with the relevant parties, regarding the suspicion of serious breach of contract against Saito. Today, after consultation with Saito, we have terminated the management contract.” So they’re running away because Saito himself made a request.
I was wondering why he was on TV when his second affair was practically rape. I thought he’d do it again, and he did. I didn’t think he’d do it so soon, but now I don’t have to see his face anymore.
Future developments for the wife 1 I believe it’s a honey trap 2 This is the worst, I can’t believe anything anymore 3 Thank you for waiting! This is Saito’s wife, the newest member of Jungle Pocket.
Even though they’ve been trying to cover up the settlement up until now, they just found out today and were shocked! That’s a pretty insincere comment.
