Matsumoto Hitoshi’s 550 Million Yen Lawsuit Raises Reputation Concerns in Court

It is also uncool to think that you can have sexual intercourse with the first person you met that day.

According to Bunshun, he said to a woman he had just met for the first time,

“Have my child.”

to a woman he had just met for the first time. If true, it is too clichéd a phrase for a genius loved by the gods of comedy. It is too uncool.

It is also uncool that he did not give her money for a cab, or if he did, it was only 5,000 yen.

I am not going to preach the morality that married people should not have sexual relations with someone other than their wives or husbands. The problem, however, is the way it is done.

Last year, actor Ryoko Hirosue’s affair with a famous chef caused a stir, and a few years ago Yuki Saito was reported to have had an affair with a man who was her doctor. A female reporter told us this.

“While relationships like those of Hirose and Saito are clear cases of adultery, there have been instances of extramarital affairs involving many female celebrities like Kumada Yoko and Mariko Shinoda which were discussed but did not reach the same level of scandal. Even in marriage, people can fall in love.

However, if Matsumoto’s actions, as reported, are true, it’s said that he sees women not as objects of affection but only as targets for acts. That’s quite unsettling. It’s just too uncool, isn’t it?”

If it goes to court, Matsumoto will likely have to prove his innocence by stating,

“I did not do it forcibly.”

“It was a consensual sexual act.”

“There was no sexual assault.”

He will likely assert and prove that he did not do it forcibly.

If the legal battle further tarnishes Matsumoto’s image, let’s hope that the impression of “Mat-chan being uncool” doesn’t get further emphasized.
