Japanese actor Teruyuki Kagawa (57), a graduate of the prestigious University of Tokyo and famous for his acting skills, bowed his head in the sexual harassment scandal. Fans were shocked by the fall of a national actress who was loved for her solid acting skills and her warm image.
The Japanese media Daily Shincho published an exclusive article on the 24th and reported that Teruyuki Kagawa sexually assaulted a woman at a club in Ginza in July 2019 by touching her body and forcing her to take off her underwear.
In a complaint filed with the Tokyo District Court in May 2020, the woman claimed that Teruyuki Kagawa forcibly took off her underwear while intoxicated and returned it to the person present to smell it. The woman, who has suffered from extreme shame as it leads to unwanted physical contact, is still being treated for her post-traumatic stress disorder.
At the time, the woman filed a lawsuit against the owner, not Kagawa Teruyuki. It’s unclear why she didn’t directly sue Teruyuki Kagawa, the perpetrator of the sexual harassment. She said that the woman withdrew her cow last year, but for some reason this time, she reported the complaint to the Daily Shincho, revealing that Teruyuki Kagawa was sexually harassed.
Kagawa Teruyuki, who has a lot of fans in Korea for the movie ‘Yureru’ and the drama ‘99.9 Criminal Lawyer’ and ‘Naoki Hanzawa’ series, is well known as a friendly actor. He came from a famous Kabuki family, graduated from the prestigious Tokyo University with the highest grade, and became a hot topic for his unique hobby of not being able to use four legs for insects such as mantis and grasshoppers.
When it comes to acting, Teruyuki Kagawa was known as a professional among pros. He analyzed the character well and pulled out acting that was more than the script, but he was not conceited and rose to the ranks of the national actor with a friendly image, so fans were more than shocked and complained of betrayal. Companies that have used him as their flagship model, such as Toyota Motor, have been closely monitoring the situation to see if there may be a boycott.
According to the Daily Shincho, Teruyuki Kagawa was consistent in his silence and response to the pouring coverage of this media and other media outlets. Daily Shincho has foretold a follow-up article dealing with additional details such as Kagawa Teruyuki’s sexual harassment and the reason why the woman withdrew the cow.
