Self-Proclaimed Shibuchika’s Father Uses Fortune-Telling and Indecent Massages on Women

The man who came out of the police station showed no sign of ill humor. With firm steps, he faced forward and got into the transport vehicle.

On February 6, the Sugamo Police Station of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department arrested Bunsho Narita, 64, a fortune teller living in Saitama City, Saitama Prefecture, on suspicion of non-consensual sexual intercourse. The suspect Narita is a self-proclaimed “father of Shibuchika” who operates in the underground area of JR Shibuya Station. At a hotel in Toshima-ku, Tokyo, he touched a woman in her 40s, Ms. A, on the lower half of her body under the guise of fortune-telling. He denies the charge, saying he massaged her breasts and lower abdomen, but not for sexual purposes.

The incident occurred between 10:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. on September 18 last year. Ms. A, the female victim, consulted Narita about her love life at a fortune-telling event held a few days earlier. At that time, Narita explained to her: ‘I see a small child next to you. I see a small child next to you. He says he wants to be born only from you. I will tell you the results of the detailed evaluation later.

On the day of the incident, Narita met Ms. A again. Believing the words of “Shibuchika’s father,” he took her, who was in a state of partial brainwashing, to a hotel and told her: “Your womb is black. He told her, “Your uterus has turned black. I will give you a massage to heal it. It seems that Narita exploited Ms. A’s uneasiness and touched her breasts and lower body.

Ms. A became suspicious and consulted another fortuneteller. She understood that she had been victimized and reported the incident to the police.

The suspect Narita used to work as a sommelier for an aroma esthetician. On a social networking service that appears to belong to him, he introduces his fortune-telling as follows. I tell the past, present, and future by looking at the guardian spirit and previous lives. I will tell you the meaning of your birth.

He had nearly 8,000 followers on Instagram and seemed to be famous in the world of fortune telling. He seemed to be quite a gourmand and uploaded many pictures on SNS showing him enjoying fine food and drinks in Roppongi, Shinjuku, and Chinatown in Yokohama.

The police said, “There is a possibility that there are more victims besides Ms. A., given the way he is used to taking advantage of women’s psychology. The police are also investigating the extra crimes of “Shibuchika’s father.
