¶Japanese show business is ruled by Yakuza.
¶Ikuo Suhou isn't a yakuza member himself but has been deeply connected to Yakuza. He's a man like Jimmy Hoffa so to speak.
¶Ikuo Suhou asked a Yakuza to put pressure on Japanese media and launch a negative
campaign againt a female actor Hirosue Ryoko, who is known overseas to have acted in an award-winning movie "Departures."
The Yakuza followed Ikuo Suhou's instruction.
¶While doing the negative campaign against Ryoko Hirosue, the Yakuza tried to make a great
impression on the public of a female actor Rena Tanaka, who belongs to
a talent agency which is under the umbrella of Ikuo Suhou.
