After the trial of defendant Yoshizaki concluded, Mr. Hikichi held a press conference. He clearly denied that either of the defendants, Sato or Yoshizaki, had ever offered to pay, stating that such a thing did not happen. The prosecutor then raised a sharp point: “Another professor involved in the joint research reportedly refused the soapland entertainment, didn’t they?” Sitting in the witness stand, Yoshizaki defendant shifted his chair with his hand and visibly shrank into himself. He was clearly agitated, and then spoke in a strained voice: “This is difficult to make you understand… but if I had said anything that upset Professor Sato, I would have lost my place at the University of Tokyo dermatology department. I had already severed ties with my medical office in Nagasaki to come to the University of Tokyo, so if I were abandoned here, I would have no idea how I could build my career.” In this way, Yoshizaki defendant also became deeply involved in the Yoshiwara entertainment, and it was said that he would even talk happily about ejaculating twice, according to Hikichi’s testimony in the same hearing.
