It is reported that the Imperial Household Agency Secretary Nishimura was surprised by the story in the weekly Bunshun (April 29 issue) posted online on April 21st.

According to the article, Kei Komuro's mother, Kayo, planned to continue to receive the survivor's pension of her ex-husband who had committed suicide by hiding that fact that she is under common-law marriage and make a living together with the ex-fiance, then be enrolled after he was eligible for the pension. Qualification for the survivor's pension disappears not only in the case of remarriage, but also in the case of common-law marriage.

 

Although this was previously reported in Shukan Gendai, Bunshun's article focused on alleged survivor pension fraud using images of emails allegedly sent by Kayo to his ex-fiancé. Officials in the IHA are reported to be also showing serious interest.

 

Mr. Nishimura is a former police bureaucracy who has risen to the Chief of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, and it's no wonder he's surprised by the "suspicion of fraud" of someone trying to become the imperial mother-in-law, the article said.

 

"On the 22nd of April, the day after the article was published online, Mr. Nishimura referred at a regular press conference to Mr. Komuro's agent having indicated his intention to pay a settlement fee to the ex-fiancée, said  'I didn't have it in advance. I haven't heard the story after the fact.'  The words were spoken in a curt tone.

There is also a view that he is trying to change the policy of dealing with Komuro family in the face of the alleged fraud problem that cannot be overlooked as a police alumnus. "

[…]

Rather, if Secretary Nishimura considers it a problem, it is not whether or not a fraudulent crime will be established, but Kayo's lack of legal spirit, which she spelled ‘My husband's survivor's pension will cover each other's lives’ and ‘I don’t want to have our common-law marriage known to everyone as much as possible.’ and the financial dependence of encouraging men to provide assistance such as living expenses with the keyword "common-law marriage" without living together or having a physical relationship. "

 

In conclusion, the article states, "Even if the survivor's pension does not constitute a fraudulent crime, it remains highly questionable whether he and his mother are appropriate to have a relationship with the imperial family."

 

There are other signs that the wind direction towards Komuro seems to have changed.

 

On the 24th, Shinji Yamashita, a former Imperial Household Agency employee and journalist, made a shocking comment on a TV talk show in connection with the news of Mr. Komuro's graduation.

"In my opinion, I don't think Mr. Komuro is a person of character nor a suitable marriage partner for the imperial family, and more accurate to say, I have no intention of congratulating the marriage itself," he said. 

 

Mr. Yamashita has been pro-marriage and has spoken many times as a spokesperson for the IHA and the Akishino family, so such a bitter comment completely surprised both co-stars and viewers.

 

However, Since in the 28-page document Komuro released in April, all he did was to make excuses and attack on the counterpart about the "financial problem", and immediately after that, he expressed his intention to pay the settlement money, and then he did not actually sit at the negotiation table at all, he may have completely lost the trust of the IHA and Akishino.

 

 

Akishino was reported to order a re-examination of Komuro by Shukan Josei Prime a few days ago. Depending on the results of the retest, the marriage may be called off.
