The “free love affair” of Kyoto’s “too beautiful city councilor” who was reportedly “in trouble with men and police” over allegations of “politics and money.
A friend of Yamashu’s told us that it was not only the issue of her “politics and money” that caught the attention of those concerned.
The Kyoto Shimbun article featured a photo of her favorite car, a white Mercedes, but she loves foreign cars, and before the white Mercedes, she drove a red Mercedes. For work, she leases an Italian car, a Fiat. It is tempting to say to her, “Why don’t you lease a Fiat with your political activity fund? Who is she dating now?
According to this acquaintance, she is single. According to the acquaintance, she is single. She grew up in a single-mother home, but her mother has already passed away. A business insider in Kyoto further revealed, “She has a free-spirited personality.
She has a free-spirited personality and drinks heavily. She is nicknamed “Kyoto’s female Takajin,” and no matter what day the Diet is in session, she goes out to Gion and drinks until she is drunk and stoned, whether it is shochu, highballs, or tequila. Perhaps it is because of her dynamic personality that her past boyfriends have all been unique individuals. In Kyoto A, the manager of a long-established dyeing and weaving store in Kyoto, a painter, the young master of a long-established inn, and a city councilor. Moreover, many of them are married. Among them, she got into trouble with Mr. A. Several years ago, she and Mr. A got into a big fight late at night and were questioned at the Fushimi police station. When one acquaintance accused her of adultery, he said, “It doesn’t matter. I’m single, and it’s a free love affair. On the contrary, she talked openly about her love life, saying, “I wake up when I smell spit when I kiss,” and often carried frisks.
When we requested an interview with Mr. Yamashu, he responded in writing as follows.
“I attended a dinner party for a large group of people at a restaurant in Fushimi Ward, Kyoto City. During the dinner party, a discussion with Mr. A about current affairs and other issues became heated, and I felt that he was in danger of violence, so I reported the matter to the Fushimi Police Station. It was not a gender-related problem at all. (There are no facts to support my claim that I had an affair with another painter or a male member of the city council.
When we asked Ms. A for an interview, she responded as follows.
It is true that I had an argument with Mr. Yamashu when we were having dinner in Gion, and the police were dispatched to the scene, so we both went to the police station. It wasn’t a particularly big incident or anything like that, and we left that day after talking with the police. After that, we gradually drifted apart and have not been in contact for a long time now. (Were you involved in an affair?) No, no, nothing like that.
The Kyoto Shimbun report seems to have angered Yamashu, but a political reporter in Osaka had this to say.
In fact, in addition to the Kyoto Shimbun, there are several other media outlets that have expressed interest in her “politics and money” issue. In addition to the parking lot issue reported this time and the election bribery allegations, some of them are covering her office expenses, which are paid out of her political activity fund, in detail, such as the actual operation of the office and the attendance of her staff. As if to deter the media, she is appealing to other media outlets about her protest to the Kyoto Shimbun.
Because she is “too beautiful,” it seems that not only the issue of politics and money, but also political and business circles are watching her movements with keen interest.
