Exclusive Scoop of Reiwa Roman Takahira Kuruma’s Surprise Sleepover with a Stunning Beauty!
Direct Confrontation with Kuruma!
Who Is the Woman Kuruma Spent the Night With?
“Isn’t she Editor A, who was in charge of Kuruma’s book Manzai Kajou Kousatsu? She looks very similar. She graduated from a prestigious private university and, despite being young, has a great reputation for her work.” (Publishing industry insider)
Is she really Editor A, who worked on Kuruma’s book? Are they in a relationship?
In early February, we directly approached Kuruma after he finished recording a radio show in Tokyo.
— Congratulations on the success of your book.
“Thank you very much.”
— Is your love life going well too?
“Oh, not at all!”
— We’d like to ask about what happened on the night of your autograph session.
“……”
Though he responded with a smile at first, Kuruma suddenly fell silent when the topic of the sleepover date came up.
FRIDAY sent a formal inquiry to Kuruma’s agency, Yoshimoto Kogyo, but received no response by the deadline. Tatsumi Publishing was also contacted, but a spokesperson stated, “We will not be providing a company response.” However, neither party denied that the woman in question was the editor of Manzai Kajou Kousatsu.
Perhaps behind his M-1 Grand Prix victories and bestselling book was the support of someone who meant more to him than just a work connection.
Shortly after this direct confrontation, the online casino scandal came to light.
On February 15, Kuruma admitted in a statement on his official YouTube channel that he had played on online casinos and apologized. He also confirmed that he had been questioned by the police, explaining:
“I was invited by a college acquaintance, and since I saw advertisements for it on the internet, I mistakenly believed it wasn’t illegal.”
For the sake of his loved ones and his fans, we hope to see him shining once again on television and the stage.
