 I was cheated by him, too. Don&#8217;t be a fool. You&#8217;d be a decent person if you spent 10 years in jail eating stale food!
 The actor Naomasa Rokudaira (70) is so indignant. The person Rokuhei refers to as &#8220;that guy&#8221; is his eldest son, Yuki (pseudonym, in his 30s).
 What is going on around Rokuhei, who has played supporting roles in numerous TV dramas, including &#8220;Yae no Sakura&#8221; (NHK) and &#8220;Trick&#8221; (TV Asahi)?
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
 It all started with an investment dispute between Company A, which has its headquarters in the Kansai region, and Yuki.
 A source at Company A said, &#8220;Around February of last year, I got acquainted with Yuki through a mutual acquaintance. He asked me to invest 200 million yen in a large-scale music festival that is held every year in Korea and for which he could obtain the rights to hold in Japan.
 Company A&#8217;s condition for the investment was that a joint guarantor be prepared. The name that came up was Yuki&#8217;s father, Rokuhira.
 Rokhira, Yuki&#8217;s father, was named as the co-signer. I responded to him, saying, &#8216;We will invest in the company as long as your father is willing to be the guarantor.
 In response to these words, Yuki arranged an online meeting with several people, including the representative of Company A. The meeting took place in mid-April of last year. Rokuhei himself attended the meeting held in mid-April of last year.
 He said, &#8220;I actually asked Naomasa-san to attend the meeting and greeted him and the representatives. At that time, we also asked Naomasa-san a reminder question, &#8216;Are you okay as a co-signer? After the guarantor&#8217;s confirmation was obtained, we officially concluded the contract and transferred 200 million yen to Yuki&#8217;s company account.&#8221;
 The contract obtained by FRIDAY also shows the names and electronic signatures of Yuuki and the representative of Company A, as well as Rokhei&#8217;s name in the joint guarantor column.
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
 The day after the transfer, we received a remittance record and a bankbook statement showing the payment of 200 million yen to a Korean partner company as proof that he had used the money to acquire the rights.
 The investment deal seemed to have come to a successful conclusion, but in June, two months after the agreement was made, the payment of dividends began to stall.
 When we contacted Yuki, he replied, &#8216;The venue has been changed, and we cannot collect sponsors. When I contacted Yuki, he replied that the venue had been changed and that he was unable to collect sponsors.
 Then it became clear that Yuki was suspected of embezzling the investment money.
 When we contacted the party to whom he was said to have given the money, he replied that he had not received the 200 million yen. When we asked him to explain again at the end of last year, he confessed that he had actually used the 200 million yen for another purpose. In the end, it turned out that the money transfer record and the bankbook were all forgeries. According to Rokhira, of the 200 million yen he was entrusted with, he handed part of it over in cash to his Korean counterpart, but used the remaining 180 million yen to pay off debts and lend to acquaintances, although the authenticity of this, too, is unknown.

<h2>I have cut ties with my son.&#8221;</h2>
 When Company A continued to demand repayment of the loan, Yuuki only repeated his refutation of the loan, which could be seen as a renegotiation of the agreement.
 He said, &#8220;I was not getting anywhere, so I suggested that Naomasa, the co-signer, repay the loan, but he just said, &#8216;My father says I was cheated too, and he won&#8217;t take it up. In the end, only 1 million yen was returned from him, and now we cannot even make proper contact with him, saying, &#8216;I want you to go through a lawyer. We want Mr. Naomasa, who is the guarantor, to take over his responsibility, and we have sent him a content-certified letter, but he is adamant that he too was cheated by his son and knows nothing about it.
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
 What does Rokuhira have to say about the series of allegations? When we inquired at his office, he admitted to the trouble and answered, &#8220;I haven&#8217;t seen the contract.
 I have never seen the contract, and I don&#8217;t remember signing and sealing it. He signed the guarantor&#8217;s signature without my permission. Even the meeting was only told by Yuki, &#8216;I want you to talk with the other party. It was also the end of last year when I knew that he was the guarantor. I cut off the parent-child relationship with him. I sue him for forgery of official document, too. I hope he gets caught soon!
 FRIDAY also called Yuki&#8217;s company to interview him, but received no response.
 Company A, meanwhile, is steadily preparing to file criminal charges for fraud.
 We deposited our money with Rokuhira-san, believing that he would act as our guarantor. However, when we opened the lid, we found that he intended to cheat us from the beginning by showing us a forged money transfer record immediately after the deposit was made. As long as we confirmed Mr. Rokuhira&#8217;s intention to be the guarantor at the meeting, we cannot shake off the suspicion that the two of us deceived him. We are currently planning to file a criminal complaint in the joint names of parent and child.
 The face of a famous motorcycle player has been tarnished.
