Japan's Princess, Mako, announced that she marry Kei Komuro on October 26 2021. Initially, there were some congratulatory voices for her marriage to the fresh young man, but it seems that he has a number of problems. Financial problems existed between his mother and her fiance.
Kayo and the man were engaged to each other from 2010 to 2012, and during that time, over 4 million yen was transferred from the man to Mr. Komuro as living expenses, etc. At the end of 2005, this was reported in a weekly magazine as a "financial problem," and in 2007, Mr. Komuro's side was told by the man that he had no intention of asking her to return the money, so she "considered the matter settled. She explained that she was aware that the matter had been resolved.
This incident led to an increase in the number of people who expressed their reluctance to marry him. From there, the media investigated him further, and various things came to light.
Career Fraud
Kei Komuro graduated from International Christian University (ICU) in Tokyo, but from September 2012 to June 2013, he attended the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) in the US as an exchange student. The company listed as having interned during just that period was the American office of Dentsu, one of the most popular advertising agency.
However, when Bunshun checked with Dentsu, they got the answer like this.
"We have been unable to confirm such a fact. Also, Dentsu America did not have an office in California at the time."
"We don't take student interns unless they have a job offer or good connections. It is possible that he "embellished" his story by saying that he was working as a subcontractor for Dentsu America.
There is also an award in Fordham University called "Fordham's JFK Profile in Courage and Sweat Equity Award". It is not clear that there is actually such an award.
Mako's physical condition
As a result of the series of news reports about Mr. Komuro, it is reported that Mako has developed a disorder called PTSD.
Mako's health is also a concern, but it is unprecedented for her to marry without the blessing of most of the people. We will have to wait and see what kind of decision the royal family will make.
Response of people in Japan
In response to their marriage, a variety of opinions flew around the Internet.
First of all, many of them simply congratulated on their marriage and wished the Princess to be happy. In addition, since the slander against Kei Komuro was mentioned in the press conference held on October 26, there were many negative opinions about the slander and defence of Kei Komuro. There were many posts on social media such as "Congratulations on your marriage," "I Wish you the best," and "Enjoy your life in New York."
On the other hand, some people voiced their dissatisfaction with their wedding press conference. Some people voiced their dissatisfaction with the marriage of the Princess to a troubled person with various suspicions, given the fact that taxpayers' money is being used to provide security for Kei Komuro and his mother, and the possibility that taxpayers' money will also be used for their future lives.
With various reactions, many suspicions, and a reported failure to pass the lawyer's exam in New York, it will be interesting to see what Kei Komuro and Mako do in the future.
