Johnny Kitagawa sexual-abuse scandal and agency restructuring
Public revelations concerning sexual abuse by Johnny Kitagawa led to the planned closure of Johnny & Associates, the transfer of affiliated artists to Starto Entertainment, and the resignation of Julie Keiko Fujishima from MENT Recording’s presidency. The available material does not establish that MENT Recording itself was accused of misconduct, but the scandal materially affected its corporate context and leadership.
