Blind Trust: Famous Celebrity Fathers Entrusting Their Sons and Unaware of Johnny Kitagawa’s Dark Secrets

The two current members are Keito Okamoto, the eldest son of Kenichi Okamoto and a former member of Hey! Say! Jump. In terms of special treatment, Taiga is perhaps the best example. His father, Masaki, was scouted by a direct call from Mr. Johnny’s after an acquaintance sent a picture of him to the Johnny’s office, and was enthusiastically encouraged to join the group.

 

In fact, he was scouted by Mr. Johnny, who called his father directly and asked him to join the group. After joining the group in 2006, he formed a unit called Shonen Hogaku Senka in 2010 and appeared in Takizawa Kabuki.

He then appeared in TV dramas and other activities as an actor, but when “SixTONES” was formed in 2015, he was chosen as a member. It took him a while to make his CD debut in 2020, but his success is evident. (Entertainment office executive)

 

Since that time, Masaki has expressed his heartfelt thanks to Hideaki Takizawa in interviews with the media, but now there are whispers that “SixTONES” will be transferred to “TOBE.”

What they have in common is that they probably had no knowledge of Johnny Kitagawa’s sexual assaults until the news broke. If they had known, there is no way they would have entrusted their precious sons to him, no matter how much they wanted to learn etiquette. When you think about it, there may be a sense of regret.

How are the fathers feeling in their hearts?
