I’ve met the “Gushiken Yotaka lookalike” who’s been the focus of fraud alerts!
Same age, also a fan of punch perms, and even his relatives mistook the resemblance, and the Aichi Prefectural Police took notice.
With a telephone receiver in his hand, a look-alike of former WBA World Light Flyweight Champion Yoshitaka Gushiken (66) calls out, “Is the person on the other end of the phone real? The poster (second photo) is a hot topic in the fight against special fraud. The Aichi Prefectural Police’s Handa Police Station aims to warn people not to be fooled by scammers calling in the guise of their sons and grandsons, but the resemblance is so striking that people are laughing on the Internet, saying they are being fooled.
This magazine directly hit the owner of the photo, Mr. Kiyoshi Morishita (66), a seaweed fisherman of Morishita Suisan (Minamichita Town, Aichi Prefecture). I asked him, “Isn’t it hard to look so much like him? But he didn’t say, “It’s tough.

My daughter took the liberty of applying for the “FNS National Look-alike Character Championship” (’16, Fuji Television Network, Inc.) and came in second place. ……
When he traveled to Okinawa, the hometown of the “real” Gushiken, he was almost KO’d by the rush of fans asking for his autograph.
I didn’t know who Gushiken was, so I wrote ‘Morishita’ and was puzzled. After that, I stopped signing autographs.
The two men’s lives were never meant to cross. Their lives were never supposed to cross, but the fact that they were both the same age and both punch perm enthusiasts confused people. Morishita’s grandson once mistook Gushiken for Jiji, and Gushiken’s niece called Morishita “Uncle.
I don’t like special scams. I’ve been warning my friends about it!
The “Gushiken of Minami Chita” vowed to defend himself against special scams on FRIDAY.
