In a bribery case surrounding the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics, it was found that 70 million yen was paid to a company run by an acquaintance of a former director of the organizing committee from major publishing company “KADOKAWA”, which was the sponsor of the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics. Former director of the Organizing Committee, Haruyuki Takahashi (78), is suspected of receiving 51 million yen in total from AOKI. In the subsequent interviews with the people involved, it turned out that 70 million yen was paid as a consulting fee to a company run by an acquaintance of Takahashi from KADOKAWA, which was the sponsor of the tournament. The payment started after the sponsorship contract in April 2019. KADOKAWA President Tsuyoshi Natsuno told ANN, “It was a reward for work after the sponsorship contract.” The Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office is arbitrarily listening to circumstances from KADOKAWA executives and is believed to be investigating the purpose of funding.
