<p>It has been six years &#8230;&#8230; since she suddenly announced her retirement. The magazine&#8217;s interview revealed that Makiko Esumi, 56, once a popular actress, is in the midst of a bogged-down legal battle.</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p><strong> In fact, Ms. Esumi was sued for defamation last September by a prestigious international school that she had sent her son to. In April of this year, a new lawsuit was filed by the eldest daughter, eldest son, and second son of the school&#8217;s former president.</strong></p>
<p>This is according to a source at Kay International School Tokyo (&#8220;KIST&#8221;) in Kiyosumi-Shirakawa, Tokyo.</p>
<p><strong> KIST is a prestigious school where many children of celebrities attend, and Ms. Esumi enrolled her son there around 2003. This led her to become friends with Mr. K, who was the school&#8217;s chairman at the time, and this led to the current lawsuit.</strong></p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p>In the lawsuit that broke out in April of this year, Mr. K&#8217;s children are seeking to invalidate the &#8220;notarized deed of settlement agreement&#8221; that was signed between Mr. K and Ezumi. What is the content of this notarized deed?</p>
<p>According to the complaint obtained by this magazine, a notarized deed was created in which Mr. K pays Esumi 203,020,400 yen, including school fees for Esumi&#8217;s eldest daughter and eldest son, on the grounds that &#8220;the school&#8217;s directors spread an untruthful rumor that Mr. K and Esumi had a relationship and that Esumi&#8217;s eldest son and daughter were unable to attend the school. According to the complaint, the plaintiff, K., was notified that he would pay Esumi ¥230,200,400.</p>
<p>According to the complaint, the plaintiffs, Mr. K&#8217;s children, allege that Mr. K was forced to write the notarized deed by Esumi after he had lost his judgment due to illness, etc. In order to isolate Mr. K, Esumi sent self-penned letters and messages to the parents and other concerned parties at &#8220;KIST&#8221; claiming his legitimacy. In order to isolate Mr. K, Ezumi allegedly sent self-written letters and messages to the parents and others involved in &#8220;KIST&#8221; claiming his legitimacy.</p>
<p>In mid-April, we directly interviewed Ezumi as she emerged from her Tokyo home. She was as good-looking as she had been before her retirement, and responded resolutely to our interview.</p>
<p>-This is Friday. I would like to ask you about the lawsuit with KIST (&#8230;&#8230;).</p>
<p><strong> There isn&#8217;t much I can answer right now. I&#8217;m leaving it all up to my lawyer. (Turning to the cameraman) I don&#8217;t mind if you take my picture, but can I take off my mask?　I&#8217;m totally better without my mask than with it on. &#8230;&#8230;&#8221;</strong></p>
<p>After saying this, Esumi handed the contact information for her lawyer to the reporter and briskly left.</p>
<p>When we later sent a questionnaire to Ezumi&#8217;s lawyer to confirm the facts, he responded, &#8220;None of the plaintiff&#8217;s allegations are true.</p>
<p>A former popular actress was sued in a sudden court case &#8230;&#8230;. The claims of both sides are in a muddy state, and like &#8220;Shomuni,&#8221; it does not look like the case will be resolved without a hitch.</p>
<p>The May 12-19 issue of &#8220;FRIDAY,&#8221; on sale April 28, will report further details of the trial, the claims of Mr. K&#8217;s children, and the response from Esumi&#8217;s lawyer. The paid version of the website &#8220;FRIDAY GOLD&#8221; also published several photos.</p>
