Toshifumi Fujimoto’s “I didn’t notice” backfired…Toshifumi Fujimoto was sent to prosecution for a “hit-and-run” accident, but his “excuse” became a “major headwind” for his comeback.

A single “excuse” could set back the resumption of his entertainment activities.

On November 14, the Shibuya Police Department referred Toshifumi Fujimoto of the comedy duo “FUJIWARA” to the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office for violation of the Road Traffic Law (failure to report an accident, etc.) for causing a traffic accident and fleeing the scene, a so-called “hit-and-run.

According to investigators, Fujimoto was driving a passenger car in Shibuya Ward on October 4 when he ignored a red light and entered an intersection. He allegedly hit another car, but drove away. Fujimoto said he was “unaware of the accident.

“I didn’t notice the accident.

Fujimoto stated that he was unaware of the accident.

The details of this incident were discussed on the radio immediately after the accident by Akashiya Sanma, a senior driver of the company.

He said, “From his point of view. From his own point of view, he is in a state of panic. When he tells people, they can easily and calmly understand. I know the usual procedure: get off the car, apologize, call the insurance company, and then call the police. But when it comes down to it, he says that his feelings were not strong enough.

The following week, however, Sanma corrected his statement, saying that it was incorrect.
