Exclusive Release! Ryuho Okawa’s Testament: His Eldest Son, Hiroyo, Reveals “Successor” and “Future of the Faith”.
President Ryuho Okawa of “Happy Science” passed away on March 2 this year at the age of 66.
On June 21, the Tokyo Family Court probated President Okawa’s will.
According to Hirohiro (Hiroshi), Okawa’s eldest son, who probated the will, “I was the only family member who came to the Tokyo Family Court that day.
Ryuho has five children: my oldest son, myself; my second son, Shinki; my third son, Yuta; my eldest daughter, Sayaka; and my second daughter, Airisa. I was planning to exchange contact information with them if I hadn’t seen them in a while, but none of them came. Ryuho’s future wife, Shio, also did not show up. Besides me, there were only three other lawyers from the cult.
What surprised me was that one of the lawyers was also a lawyer for Sayaka,” said Hirohiro.
This is actually very significant. It means that the cult and Sayaka have a tight grip on each other. I was convinced when I saw the will. Although it was not explicitly stated, Sayaka was in fact the second president.
What does this mean?
The will stipulated that Sakyaka would inherit the copyrights to Ryuho’s works, including books, DVDs, and films of his spiritual sayings and sermons. The copyrights of Ryuho’s works are indispensable for the activities of the Order. That is why, according to the will, they could no longer be used without Sayaka’s permission. He became the de facto supreme authority. Conversely, Shio, who had been the de facto head, lost his position. It is safe to say that he has lost his position. This was a surprise. According to the lawyer, Sakuyaka has approved this will. From now on, the Order will be headed by her.”
