<p>On December 12, 2011, the comedy duo &#8220;Wagyu&#8221; shocked the world by announcing that they would break up at the end of March 2012. For Shinji Mizuta (43), it is safe to say that &#8217;23 was a year of upheaval. On May 24, 2011, he announced his marriage to freelance announcer Hagiko Yamamoto (27) on stage at the talk live &#8220;FC Hayashi Mizuta&#8217;s Getaway Money for Awaji Island Camp&#8221; held in Osaka. About a month earlier, this magazine had caught Yamamoto frequenting the luxury apartment where Mizuta lived.</p>
<p> However, only a month later, this magazine would report &#8220;Shinji Mizuta, 17 years younger than himself, allegedly &#8216;beating and taking hidden photographs in bed&#8217; of his ex-girlfriend. We look back on the details based on the articles distributed on May 27, 2011 and June 27, &#8217;23 (ages and titles in the articles are as of the time of publication).</p>

<h3> Wagyu&#8221; comedy duo Mizuta and the &#8220;goddess of MLB&#8221; in a &#8220;going out&#8221; scene (May 27, 2011).</h3>
<p> On May 24, 2011, Shinji Mizuta (43) of the comedy duo &#8220;Wagyu&#8221; announced his marriage to freelance announcer Hagiko Yamamoto (26) at the &#8220;FC Hayashi Mizuta&#8217;s Getaway Money for Awaji Island Camp&#8221; talk live held in Osaka. This event was held together with his friends from the comedian futsal team &#8220;FC Hayashi,&#8221; of which Mizuta is a member. The VTR showed a scene from a training camp in April 2011, during which Mizuta said, &#8220;I&#8217;m going to get married this month,</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> Mizuta reported, &#8220;I am getting married this month!</span></p>
<p> Mizuta reported, &#8220;I&#8217;m getting married this month! The audience was filled with surprise and joy. On the same day, Yamamoto appeared live on NHK BS1&#8217;s popular program &#8220;WASPO x MLB,&#8221; on which he appears regularly. He did not mention his marriage, but at the end of the program, commentator Ryota Igarashi said, &#8220;Today is a really good day, isn&#8217;t it?</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> At the end of the program, commentator Ryota Igarashi congratulated Yamamoto, saying, &#8220;Today is a really good day, a day full of happiness.</span></p>
<p> Yamamoto responded with a happy smile, &#8220;Thank you very much. In fact, this magazine had caught Yamamoto frequenting Mizuta&#8217;s luxury apartment.</p>
<div data-friday-nextpage-lead=" Beatings and hidden photographs of his ex-girlfriend, 17 years younger than him, were revealed."></div>
<p>It goes back about a month ago. Yamamoto came out of the TV station after appearing on one of the programs, being escorted out by the staff. She was wearing a deep black cap and a large mask, but her beauty was obvious.</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> Yamamoto writes a baseball column in Weekly Playboy titled &#8220;Hagiko Yamamoto&#8217;s Waiting for the 6-4-3,&#8221; which has a reputation for being full of in-depth baseball knowledge and insights that even the experts find astonishing. She is now in her fifth year as an anchor of &#8220;WASPO x MLB,&#8221; which provides news on Major League Baseball with a focus on Japanese players, and is called the &#8220;MLB goddess&#8221; by MLB enthusiasts because of her abundant knowledge of both Japanese and American baseball and her good looks. She will be even more useful in the future.</span></p>
<p> Yamamoto stopped his cab on the street and headed in the opposite direction from his home. His destination was the apartment where Mizuta lived. Yamamoto got out of the cab, which stopped at the porte-cochere, entered the entrance as he was accustomed to doing, and opened the automatic lock with a duplicate key.</p>

<h3> Wagyu&#8221; Shinji Mizuta, 17 years younger than Yamamoto, allegedly beat his ex-lover in bed and took hidden photographs (June 27, 2011).</h3>
<p> Behind their backs, there was one woman who was hurt. She is Mizuta&#8217;s former girlfriend, Ako. Her friend, Ms. B, tells us.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> &#8221;Ako is 25 years old, looks like actress Erika Toda, and is one year younger than Mr. Yamamoto.&#8221; In the summer of 2003, she followed Mr. 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 sometimes went to see him. The official relationship began in &#8217;18, when Ako turned 21.&#8221;</span></p>
<p> At the time, Mizuta was already a regular finalist in the &#8220;M-1&#8221; 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.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> In December 2007, I noticed a bruise under Ako&#8217;s eye from an internal hemorrhage, and I asked her, &#8216;What is that? I asked, &#8216;What&#8217;s that?&#8217; She told me that Mr. Mizuta had slapped her during sexual intercourse.&#8221;</span></p>
<p> What Mr. B subsequently heard was Mizuta&#8217;s rough treatment of Ms. A, which he could not imagine from Mizuta&#8217;s mild-mannered face.</p>
<div data-friday-nextpage-lead=" The reason for the blitz breakup was &quot;Mizuta&#39;s tardiness...&quot;"></div>
<p><span class="strongInContent">When it came to sex, she would choke me hard until I nearly fainted, or beat me so hard that bruises would remain for several days.&#8221;</span></p>
<p> After that, Mizuta&#8217;s behavior escalated. He began pointing a camera at them during sexual intercourse. Eventually, the couple broke up in May 2010. This magazine directly interviewed Mizuta, but she remained silent.</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<h3> Mizuta&#8217;s tardiness&#8221; was the reason for the sudden breakup.</h3>
<p> Mizuta explained the reason for the breakup,</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> The reason was that about three years ago, he was late several times due to a lapse of attention. In addition, there were times when I could not meet Kawanishi&#8217;s demands in my manzai performance, and I began to feel a difference between Kawanishi and my approach to manzai.</span></p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> Although we had the same goal of making the audience laugh, the gap between what Kawanishi wanted and what I wanted to do gradually widened, and I found myself unable to express my opinions to my partner.</span></p>
<p> Kawanishi commented. Kawanishi also commented</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> About three years ago, I began to want to focus more on the stage, while Mizuta&#8217;s continuous tardiness for his theater appearances led to a noticeable difference in my attitude toward manzai and his.</span></p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> Gradually, I began to lose faith in him, and I sometimes spoke harshly to him, unable to maintain moderation. This led to his suffering, and he was no longer able to perform the kind of comedy that I wanted.</span></p>
<p> He revealed, &#8221; On December 17, 2011, Mizuta appeared at &#8220;Nanamagari no Omiya Year-End Party 2023&#8221; held at the Omiya Raccoon Yoshimoto Theater in Saitama.</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> She said, &#8220;I&#8217;ve always loved Downtown Matsumoto (Hitoshi). I really don&#8217;t know what&#8217;s going on these days, but suddenly on SNS he said, &#8216;You&#8217;re good at what you do, so you&#8217;ll be fine. Suddenly he praised me.</span></p>
<p> The audience burst into laughter. Mizuta&#8217;s skills as a comedian are impeccable. From April 2012, Mizuta&#8217;s activities as a pin-up comedian will no doubt increase.</p>
