I will sell off all the property of Happy Science!” Ryuho Okawa’s eldest son, Hirohiro, speaks out, “If I become his successor…”

He had always said that he would live to be 80 years old and that he would be an active member of society for the rest of his life, so I don’t think he expected this kind of end to happen.

The man who spoke in a matter-of-fact tone was Hiroshi, 34, the eldest son of Ryuho Okawa (66 years old).

The news of the death of Ryuho, founder of the religious organization Happy Science, came on March 2. The news of his death came on March 2, just six days after Hiroshi’s birthday.

As of March 1, information about Mr. Ryuho’s death was circulating among the people concerned, and all the companies were busy with their follow-up reports,” said a reporter from the society section of a national newspaper.

One of the sources who confirmed the information was his son, Hirohiro, who said, “I myself have been contacted by media representatives to confirm the death of Mr. Ryuho.

I myself was informed of Ryuho’s death by media representatives. However, at this point, there has been no contact from the organization regarding Ryuho’s death. I have also contacted other siblings, but so far no one has responded.

Since its establishment in 1986, Ryuho Okawa reigned as the head of the organization for a total of 37 years. Because he was an absolute figure, the news of his passing has drawn attention to the “succession struggle. The key to the succession battle is the fate of his five children, including his wife, Shio, and his son, Hiroyo.

The key is the fate of his five children, including his future wife, Shio, and his son, Hiroyo. The second son, Shinki, and the third son, Yuta, have lost touch with me at least. I don’t know where they are or even if they are alive. The youngest daughter, Airisa, has already left Happy Science.

Hirohiro parted ways with the organization in 2005. He is now active as a YouTube star and continues to send out messages, including criticism of the cult, as a representative of the “Party to Protect the People from Cult Religions. He was once expected to be Ryuho’s legitimate successor.

He says, “Since I was a child, I was repeatedly told by Ryuho, ‘You are going to be my successor. But when I failed the junior high school entrance exam, he suddenly changed his attitude and said, ‘You can’t do it. Ryuho would change his words and actions according to his mood at any given time, so it was a repetitive process. In any case, I am sure he never intended to end Happy Science on his own.”

As of now, there is no information on Ryuho’s last will and testament. What will happen to the struggle for succession in the future? When asked, Mr. Hiromichi replied, “What will happen to his successor in the future?

I am sure that his wife, Shio, and his eldest daughter, Sayaka, are the leading candidates. However, the possibility of me being nominated as the successor of Happy Science in some way is extremely small. And I will sell all the things that can be made into money, such as land and ornaments owned by Ryuho and the organization, and refund the money to those who have been affected by the cult. Up until now, Happy Science has been an organization of, by, and for Ryuho. Therefore, if he dies, it will inevitably become difficult for the organization to continue to operate.

Who will be his successor?
