On April 8, former annoying YouTuber Hezuma Ryu announced on his X
&#8220;I visited the home of a 48-year-old unemployed man in Kanagawa Prefecture who had requested disclosure, accompanied by a lawyer for a home visit. We were told to call the police, but since we didn&#8217;t enter the premises, it didn&#8217;t constitute trespassing.
We settled for 500,000 yen, so I&#8217;ve decided not to disclose his name or address. Since he had no savings, we extracted money from his parents.&#8221;
And reported. Then, on the Internet, there were comments such as
“Isn&#8217;t that a threat?”
There are voices of criticism saying, &#8220;Isn&#8217;t that extortion?&#8221; However, on the other hand,
&#8220;Some feel intelligence in going with a lawyer.&#8221;
It&#8217;s a mixed opinion.
However, since they are accompanied by a legal professional, it seems that expenses are incurred,
&#8220;Because the disclosure request costs 300,000 yen per person, even with 500,000 yen, it only yields a profit of 200,000 yen. Moreover, it has become difficult to make disclosure requests since Elon Musk took over. (It takes about half a year to a year.) Most of those making disclosure requests are unemployed in their 40s to 50s. So, it&#8217;s at a level where it&#8217;s good if you can recover while making it a topic.&#8221; 
They&#8217;re also frankly discussing financial situations.

&#8220;There is a lot of backlash and criticism, but above all, this action may serve as a deterrent against defamation and slander. Many prominent figures are troubled by unjust voices on the internet, and some are mentally cornered, unable to continue their activities.&#8221;
Regarding taking legal action as a retaliation against being exposed, the actions of Mr. Hezuma reminded us of Mr. Kazuyoshi Miura, known for the &#8220;Los Suspicion&#8221; case.
&#8220;Mr. Miura continuously filed defamation lawsuits for libel against negative media coverage without employing a lawyer. He claimed to have filed 476 cases of defamation against the media, winning 80%. He said he received over 100 million yen through judgments and settlements.&#8221;
&#8220;He even won 1 million yen in a defamation lawsuit against Weekly Bunshun, which sparked the &#8216;Los Suspicion&#8217; reports. With his consecutive victories, Mr. Miura even published a book titled &#8216;No Need for a Lawyer: A Manual for Winning Personal Lawsuits.'&#8221;
&#8220;The fact that media outlets now blur handcuffs and ropes on suspects in footage and photos taken at the time of arrest is also due to the Miura trial. It&#8217;s undeniable that the trials he initiated raised awareness of human rights among the media.
&nbsp;
Mr. Miura, who filed civil lawsuits, and Mr. Hezuma, who raids homes accompanied by a lawyer, have different methods. However, perhaps his actions, like Mr. Miura&#8217;s trial, might have the potential to bring about changes in online defamation and slander.&#8221;
The internet has now become a lawless territory. What impact will Mr. Hezuma&#8217;s actions ultimately have?

 Hezumaryu, a former nuisance YouTuber, revealed that he had filed a disclosure claim against a person who defamed him on the Internet, etc. and got a settlement of 500,000 yen by visiting his home. His methods have been used by famous people in the past. ......
