Behind the shocking breakup drama… Comedy duo “Wagyu” Shinji Mizuta: Allegations of “bed beating and hidden photography” against his ex-girlfriend.

On December 12, the comedy duo “Wagyu” announced their dissolution at the end of March next year.

The talented duo of Shinji Mizuta (43) and Kenshiro Kawanishi (39), both in charge of comedy, have been runners-up in the “M-1 Grand Prix” for three years in a row. Many fans were surprised by the sudden announcement of the popular duo, who also have many regular programs. What in the world happened to the two?

Kawanishi said the following in a comment.

About three years ago, I began to want to focus more on the stage, while Mizuta’s continued tardiness to his theater appearances led to a noticeable difference in my attitude toward his comic performances. Gradually, I began to lose faith in him, and I sometimes spoke harshly to him, unable to maintain moderation.

Generally speaking, the two Wagyu performers had been enjoying “smooth sailing” not only in their work but also in their private lives for the past several years. This is because Kawanishi got married last year and Mizuta announced her marriage in May of this year. However, behind the scenes, “FRIDAY” caught disturbing information about Mizuta. The article in the July 7, 2023 issue of “FRIDAY” is reproduced below.

‘I make a conscious effort not to lie in my stories.

The manzai duo “Wagyu” has made it to the finals of numerous award shows. They have also made it to the finals of “M-1” five times and are well known among their fans as a talented duo. The duo had been enjoying their single life for a long time, but Kenshiro Kawanishi (39), who is in charge of the comical comedy, and Shinji Mizuta (43), who is in charge of the humorous comedy, got married last year, and just recently, they have gone into a happy marriage.

Mizuta announced his marriage on May 24 to Shuko Yamamoto (26), a popular freelance announcer 16 years younger than Mizuta. 6:30 in the evening in mid-June, this magazine spotted the newlyweds on a street corner in Shibuya Ward. Yamamoto’s fingers were firmly entwined in Mizuta’s left hand as they walked along the side of the road.

After announcing their marriage, Mizuta said, “(Yamamoto) seems to like my dashimaki tamago (rolled egg). After the announcement of their marriage, Mizuta said, “He likes my dashimaki tamago (rolled egg). He says they taste better than the ones at the restaurant. Yamamoto seems to be quite smitten with him.

The couple headed for the NHK Broadcasting Center. On that day, there was a live broadcast of “WASPO x MLB,” for which Yamamoto is the anchor, and they were enjoying a walking date before that. As rumored, Mizuta is a handsome handsome man with a new wife, but there was one woman who was hurt behind his back. She is Mizuta’s former boyfriend, Ako. Her friend, Mr. B, tells us.

Eight years ago in the summer, she followed Mizuta on Twitter and received a DM from him. Soon after, Mr. Mizuta invited her to dinner and they had a relationship. Mr. Mizuta lived in Tokyo and Ako, who had just graduated from high school, lived in Osaka, and the 18-year-old Ako sometimes went to see him. The official relationship began in ’18, when Ako turned 21.”

At the time, Mizuta was already a regular finalist in the “M-1” competition, and since Ako kept their relationship a secret from everyone around them, Mr. B did not pry too deeply after learning of their relationship.

In December 2007, I noticed a bruise under Ako’s eye from an internal hemorrhage, and I asked her, ‘What is that? I asked, ‘What’s that?’ She told me that Mr. Mizuta had slapped her during sexual intercourse.”

What Ms. B later heard was Mizuta’s rough treatment of Ms. A, which she could not imagine from his mild-mannered face.
