The Awakening of the 64-Year-Old “King of Papa’s Life” with 12 “girlfriends” and the Boundaries He Has Reached
6 billion yen built up by “800 times” Apple’s stock price
Hisashi Takeuchi (64 years old, pseudonym), who has total assets of 6 billion yen, is a wealthy man who currently has 12 “girlfriends. While some of his girlfriends are sexy actresses, medical students, and female office workers who sign “monthly contracts” for 500,000 yen per month,…… there are also women who continue their relationships without receiving a single yen.
I don’t think I’m popular. It’s all about money. The reason why I do papa activities? Because it’s …… cosy.
Takeuchi says, “Even if I don’t work, I get about 60 million yen every year, so it would be a waste if I don’t spend it. I thought he was born to be a rich …… bonbon with so-called “successful parents,” but he says, “Not at all! My family was poor,” he denied with a straight face .
My father’s business failed, and the family didn’t break up, but the debts mounted, and I’ve been living on my own since I was ……19 years old.”
Due to financial difficulties, the only option was to go to a national university, and there was little hope of getting help with living expenses.
I had always been able to study well, so it was not difficult for me to go to a national university,” he said. I was always in the top 10% of my class in high school. …… However, that was not the case at the university. People of the same level gathered from all over the country, so my grades in college were faster if I counted them from the bottom.”
After graduating from the Faculty of Science and Engineering at a national university, he joined one of the largest IT companies in Tokyo. He was involved in the design of several PCs. His achievements were recognized and he was transferred to Silicon Valley for one year. This move was a turning point for him.
I was surprised at the differences between Japan and other countries during the one-year training program. I changed jobs at a major IT company in the U.S., but right around that time, Steve Jobs retired and Apple’s performance was declining. So I continued to buy Apple stock consistently. I think it is about $240 a share now, but at the time it was $15 a share. I bought it at the lowest price I could find, and the shares I bought were split many times, eventually multiplying 800 times. I just got lucky.”
He also bought a large number of other GAFA stocks, including Google, Amazon, and Facebook, before their prices rose, laughing, “It’s like a handsome treat, isn’t it?
I didn’t know much about stocks, so I picked and bought them for random reasons, like because my friends worked for them… American startups like Apple don’t get overtime pay or bonuses. Instead, they give you their own stock and say, ‘If you work hard, the stock price will go up. It was partly thanks to this system.
Some of my friends who worked with me at the time had amassed tens of billions of dollars in assets and had their own private jets. So, for me, it was like, ‘This is what it’s like. ……

The “state of mind” reached at the end of online pick-up
Since his father’s business failed, Mr. Takeuchi had devoted himself to study and work, but it was not until he turned 40 that he learned to play with women.
After I turned 40, I started traveling back and forth between China and Japan for work, and at that time, I was very popular just because I was Japanese. I guess it was because the income disparity was 20 times greater than in Japan (laugh), but even if I didn’t do anything, I would be approached by people from other countries.
I didn’t know such a world existed! Mr. Takeuchi indulged in all kinds of womanizing, from cabarets to sex clubs, street pickups, and dating services.
In those days, it was the norm for Chinese women to pay tribute to their husbands. They would ask, ‘Do you want to go out with me? How much can you pay me a month? My ex-boyfriend gave me this much. Perhaps it was because they started their womanizing in China that they had no prejudice against the papa lifestyle.
When playing in China was no longer enough for Mr. Takeuchi, he went to Japan and frequented brothels.
Papa Katsudo was not yet popular, so I went to all the delirious sex clubs. The price range was reasonable, and I felt the thrill of seducing a girl because the rule was that you couldn’t go as far as penetration.
Although he would ask the girls he picked to perform for him, “I would only do it once with a girl who asked for money,” he says.
I thought, “I don’t like girls who ask for money to do the real number because they are doing it to other people. It is easy to make friends with a delivery girl. Five out of ten became friends with me.”

After the COVID-19 crisis, a state of emergency was declared and he was unable to go to the sex trade, so he began to devote himself to online pickup.
“I created an account on X and started picking up girls. I wanted to see if I could get laid without spending money. I wanted to find out. As it turns out, it’s not hard to meet …… and get laid, but “they’re all ugly anyway!” (I’m not sure if that’s a good thing or not.)
Only 10% of the girls are cute, the rest are either ugly or fat with fraudulent photos. As I continued to pick up women online, I also began to feel my own male dysfunction weakening, and I realized that I was wasting my sexuality.”
I wanted to have sex with beautiful women even if I had to pay for it,” he says, and so he decided to start his own daddy’s life.
I wanted to have sex with beautiful women even if I had to pay for it,” he said. You don’t have to play games like you do at a cabaret club. However, I block girls who only want to have dinner or tea with me twice. There are many beautiful girls who want to do daddy’s activities. I’ve never had a moment of regret.”

Requirements for “girlfriends” and their replacement
He has 12 girlfriends at the moment, but “I’m not particular about the number of people.
He says, “I don’t have to break up with the girl I like. And there are many other pretty girls. That’s why I have more and more (laughs). At first I registered with a dating app or a dating club, but I don’t do that anymore. I’m increasing by introductions from my girlfriends and by organizing parties and events to make new girlfriends. The events are 20% men and 80% women. At the time of the Christmas party last year, I had six girlfriends, and in the six months since then that number has grown to 12.”
He says there is a constant turnover of girlfriends.
I start out with looks, so there are times when I go out with someone and think, ‘I knew it wasn’t the same. What I don’t like is a girl who can’t keep her promises. If she is late or cancels three times, I’m done with her. I don’t even break up with them, I just block them.
Then there are those who are halfway smart (laughs). I don’t like girls who think they are smarter than they are. I have a girlfriend who went to the University of Tokyo’s School of Medicine, so I find them ridiculous compared to really smart girls. If that’s the case, I’d much rather have an honest girl.
The allowances range from 30,000 yen to 500,000 yen per month.
“The basic rule is, ‘From 30,000 yen per visit. “That’s right. I think that’s the average amount of money for a daddy’s love life. Depending on negotiations on the girl’s side, the starting amount can be as high as 50,000 yen. Most of them pay on a case-by-case basis, but there are two girls who do it on a monthly basis; one makes 300,000 yen a month and the other 500,000 yen. They promise to meet at least twice a month, and if they don’t meet or if they don’t do anything, the fee is reduced. I am also very strict about this (laughs).
In addition to the fixed allowance, the girls also receive a “bonus.
We give special bonuses for Christmas and birthdays. The first year is 200,000 yen, and every year it increases by 100,000 yen. The longer you stay with me, the more benefits you get. If he introduces me to a new girlfriend, I give him an allowance as an intermediary fee.
To keep them from getting bored, I divide my 12 girlfriends into three groups, and sometimes we have group dates with three or four girls, or enjoy multiple play dates.

One of them is an office worker who doesn’t group with anyone and doesn’t receive a single yen in benefits. “My daddy’s friends are worried about me, telling me to be careful,” she laughed.
She says, “My papa-katsu friends are worried about me, saying, ‘Be careful. My papa-katsu friends warn me that nothing costs more than free money, but I take that as a positive sign that they genuinely like me.
While saying this, Mr. Takeuchi says of himself , “This is not a mote. It is the result of money.
I don’t have children. My wife doesn’t like that kind of behavior, so we can’t have children. I have no nieces or nephews, and I have a lot of money. I have told them honestly the amount of my assets, and since it would be foolish to pay only taxes, I have made it clear that I will give each of them 100 million yen before I die. I’m not that much of a “super dad,” but I think they are looking forward to seeing me in the afterlife.
Rather than wanting to be “popular,” he wants to spend his life without being bored until the end.
The “philosophy of papa katsudo” that this man with ¥6 billion in assets has arrived at is neither a desire for approval nor a desire to be young, but perhaps a “life plan” to rationally compensate for his loneliness and desires.
