Kanna Hashimoto’s Office, With 15 Employees Seeks 10 New Hires Under Concerning Conditions

We would like to state unequivocally that the article concerning the power harassment of Kanna Hashimoto, an actress belonging to our company, has no basis in fact and is clearly untrue.
Amidst the huge stir created by the November 1 issue of Shukan Bunshun (Weekly Bunshun), which reported on allegations of power harassment by actress Kanna Hashimoto, Isao Ito, president of her agency Discovery Next, completely denied the allegations in a lengthy commentary.
In the article, it is reported that Hashimoto’s power harassment has led to a constant change of on-site managers, and that eight managers have so far resigned one after another.
Eight managers have quit one after another.
The article reported that “eight managers have quit one after another.
No hint of legal action, etc.

He said he would end his rebuttal with the following statement.

If there is any evidence, such as a line of communication or audio recordings of power harassment, there is a possibility that some publishing company will buy it. Looking at the document written by President Ito, it seems as if he is afraid of the “second and third arrow” reports without any hint of legal action,” said a women’s magazine reporter.
On the other hand, a job posting for Hashimoto’s firm, Discovery Next, was posted on the job site “doda. The posting period is from October 17 to November 13, which means that the company is currently in the middle of recruiting.
