In the bribery case surrounding the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics, AOKI consulted with a former director of the organizing committee about the additional sponsorship due to the postponement of the Games, and it turned out that the amount was reduced. Haruyuki Takahashi (78), a former director of the tournament organizing committee, is suspected of receiving 51 million yen in total from the AOKI side. According to people involved, when the postponement of the tournament was decided, it was found that the former chairman of AOKI Holdings, Hironori Aoki (83), consulted with Takahashi about reducing the additional sponsorship. After that, the sponsorship amount increased from 100 million yen to 10 million yen. In addition, in 2018, three suspects, including Aoki, compiled eight items that they wanted to realize through Takahashi, such as licensed products, and saved them on a computer or mobile phone. The Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office is believed to have seized such data as well.
