Koide Keisuke went through a lasciviousness dispute, makes every effort for a comeback but is not expected to do well.




Because Japanese actor Koide Keisuke committed a crime of lasciviousness toward a female minor, his acting career is nearly ruined. His own office's debt has also been exposed, going up to 533,050,000 Japanese yen (about 145,470,000 Taiwanese dollars)!

On the 1st of this month, Koide Keisuke's own office ?? won through a settlement with the Tokyo District Court. While showing ?? 's 553,050,000 JPY of gross liabilities, the creditor is his former management office, Japan's Amuse Entertainment. Also Amuse still has not paid 16,190,000 JPY of renumeration to ??, a legal agreement needs to be reached to offset this sum of 16,190,000 JPY. After ?? pays the 10,000,000 to Amuse, the remaining debt will be exempted, meaning Amuse incurs a loss of bad debt equal to 500,000,000 JPY.

Koide Keisuke who turns 34 this year, filmed a drama for a time in Osaka last May, and then was exposed drinking and having sexual relations with a 17 year old girl. The course of events involved sexual assualt, thus an infinite stop of showbiz activities. The lead actor's NHK drama broadcast was cancelled as well as other TV dramas, movies replaced actors and filmed again, endorsement contracts and others gave rise to many reparation problems. This caused his agency at the time Amuse to respond to the problems.

Clearly a great part of ??'s debt comes from Amuse paying the compensation money in their place. Besides, last September Koide Keisuke faced Osaka police with vague ordinances strongly against teenage pregnancy passed, and has been captured last December without a lawsuit. On the 1st of this month after a special legal settlement was passed, Koide Keisuke and Amuse on the 4th announced a mutual termination contract for both parties. He will remain to continue as an actor whose status has been disregarded, and will make every effort to come back to work.
