Regarding Komuro's Mother's Alleged Illegal Receipt of the Survivor's Pension

 


 

Komuro's Mother's Alleged Illegal Receipt of Survivor’s Pension First Aired on Terrestrial TV

The alleged fraudulent receipt of the survivor's pension by Komuro's mother, Kayo, is one of the major scandals that have raised many questions from the Japanese people about the marriage of Mako Akishino and Kei Komuro, along with the 4 million yen debt issue, which is the reason for their opposition. It is said to show that Kayo Komuro is greedy and not law-abiding. According to one theory, the total amount of the survivor's pension that was illegally received by Kayo Komuro is said to be as much as 20 million yen (some $182K).

 

After being reported in a weekly magazine, this issue has been ignored by newspapers and terrestrial TV for a long time, but was picked up on terrestrial TV for the first time on the afternoon of the 13th in the Nippon Television talk show "SOKODERAITE COMMITTEE.”

 

 
What is Allegation of Illegal Receipt of Survivor's Pension?

 Kei Komuro's mother, Kayo, after the death of Kei's father, tried to continue receiving her late husband's survivor's pension even after she became engaged to Mr. X, a man who is currently in trouble with Komuros over a 4 million yen debt.

For an overview of debt issues, see this article.

The line message that Kayo sent to Mr. X shows that she was aware of this and planned to do so.


In April of this year, Shukan Bunshun reported on this line message with images.

https://bunshun.jp/articles/-/44931

 

The messages were as follows：

We will provide for each other with each other's gross income plus my husband's survivor's pension.

All other deposits and property will be considered mutual.

Please make me the beneficiary of Puppy's life insurance.

 

First of all, I will practice the above = de facto marriage.

Then, four years later, after Puppy, you get your pension, we'll get married again.

 

If I were to get married now, there would be no problem, but it would be better to wait until four years after Puppy, you get your pension, wouldn't it? I agree with you.

So we don't want anyone to know about our de facto marriage as much as possible because if someone were to file a complaint with the authorities, it would be a disaster.

 

As described above, Kayo admits that she is in a "de facto marriage" but makes a very deliberate proposal to "hide it so that no one knows about it" in order to receive the survivor's pension.

 

The impact of this report with the image was so strong that the Director General of the Imperial Household Agency, Mr. Nishimura, who is from the National Police Agency, is said to have commented on Kei Komuro after the report, clearly distancing himself from him.

(For more on Nishimura's comments, please refer to this article)

Shortly after Kei's father's death, Kayo moved in with a man other than Mr. X. Once a person becomes de facto married or cohabits with a new partner, he or she loses eligibility to receive the survivor's pension, and even if the cohabiting partner dies or the relationship is terminated, the eligibility is not restored.

It is estimated that Kayo's illegal receipt of the survivor's pension from the time she lived with this man amounted to about 20 million yen.

With regard to the survivor's pension, which should have been strictly administered, the fact that Kayo Komuro is believed to have been illegally receiving the pension for many years has caused a great deal of outrage among the Japanese people. Also, as a result of this, Kei Komuro was attending a school with high tuition fees, and some consider Kei to be jointly responsible for this.

Kei Komuro Receives "JFK Award": a New Allegation of Career Fraud?

Image
  New doubts have been raised about Komuro's biography posted on the website of Lowenstein Sandler, the law firm where Kei Komuro is employed.   This is because it stated that Komuro had received the "JFK Profile in Courage Award".   According to a report in the weekly magazine "Josei Jishin" dated the 12th of this month,   The award, named after the book "Courageous Men" by John F. Kennedy, the 35th President of the United States, honors individuals who have demonstrated outstanding political leadership. The award is selected mainly from politicians and civil servants, and former U.S. President Barack Obama and former U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan are among the past recipients. As a matter of course, Mr. Komuro, who was only a student, should not have received this award, and his name is not found in the list of winners.   Speaking of Komuro, when she entered Fordham University, she was introduced on the university's website

Kei Komuro's Mother Criminally Charged with Fraud

Image
    With the wedding of Kei Komuro to Princess Mako, the eldest daughter of the Akishino family, approaching on October 26, Komuro's mother, Kayo, was criminally accused of fraud on October 6, and journalist Shinohara Soichiro, who is active on YouTube and other media, filed a complaint with the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office.   There are two reasons why Kayo was accused. The first is the allegation of fraudulent receipt of the survivor's pension. Kayo lost her husband, Toshikatsu, in 2002, and has been receiving a survivor's pension since then. However, there was a period of time during which she received financial support from her ex-fiancee, Mr. A. During her engagement with Mr. A, she reportedly sent him e-mails  in which she asked him to keep her de facto marriage with Mr. A a secret while she was receiving her husband's survivor's pension. If she began to live with another man after her husband's death, she would no longer be eligible

What is the Komuro's Debt Problem?  After the death of Kei Komuro's father, Kei's mother Kayo, received financial support of over 4 million yen (some $36.44K) from her then fiancé during the engagement period in the name of Kei's school fees and living expenses. After the engagement was dissolved, the former fiancé requested that these monies be repaid as a loan, but Komuro's mother and Kei did not repay the money, claiming that it was a donation.   The issue was first reported by the Japanese women's weekly magazine, Shukan Josei, in December 2017, three months after the announcement of Mako and Komuro's informal engagement.   https://www.jprime.jp/articles/-/11267   In the article above, we can see from the entries in the bank passbook that the ex-fiancee had been sending money one after another as Kayo told him to.   This issue triggered various scandals involving Komuro's mother and Kei, which came to light one after another.

Classmate Bullying by Komuro

Image
Three cases of bullying by Kei Komuro against his classmates from his elementary school days have been reported so far.   (1) The first victim was A, a male classmate from the elementary school attached to the National College of Music.   A was a good friend of Kei, but he started to be bullied by Kei in the summer of his fifth year after Kei's father's suicide. Kei, together with the kid leader, bullied A by calling him nicknames, singing songs that made fun of his nicknames, deliberately not showing up for meetings with A, and laughing when he saw A looking for Kei. He also kicked a ball at A at close range with several classmates under the guise of soccer practice, shouted at A :"Don't come to school!” from the classroom window. He was often absent from school and the bullying continued until they both graduated from elementary school. In addition, Weekly Bunshun also interviewed another classmate from elementary school, B, who admitted that there had been b

US to Pay for Mako and Kei's Security in the US, Japan Reports

Image
    Mako Komuro and Kei Komuro arrived in New York, U.S.A. on November 14 and started their new life. At Kennedy International Airport, NYPD officers provided security.   What will happen to their security in the future? According to a Japanese police source quoted by "Bunshun Online" on November 14,   “In the United States, the Japanese police have no authority whatsoever. Carrying a handgun is a no-no.   If people knew that Mako was a former princess of Japan, the world's third largest economy, there was a good chance that she would be targeted by robbers or kidnappers. In the U.S., where the new coronavirus is spreading again, discrimination against Asians is said to be continuing, and there is a risk of being attacked by thugs, so security should be necessary.   However, the Japanese police cannot do anything about it. In the end, the reality is that we have no choice but to leave security to the New York Police Department and other U.S. police a

Reported Scandals: The Japanese Will Never Accept Komuro

Image
  Bizarre English-language newspaper: Focuses only on debt problems   Is the debt problem the only problem of Komuro, Princess Mako’s boyfriend? No. Curiously, the Western media seems to be trying to limit his problems to the debt problem. Whose intention is this?   Let's take the Japan Times, for example, one of the leading English-language newspapers in Japan. The headline "Money row tied to princess's boyfriend may end in settlement" at the end of April this year is full of congratulations. This makes it seem as if Mako and Komuro can get married as long as they pay off their debts. (In fact, there is no sign of a settlement at all, as you can see in this article .)   In addition, there is no report of any harsh words by the Emperor or the results of various polls. For the Emperor's words, see here . For the results of the public opinion poll, see here .   What is the Root of the Japanese People's Rejection? In reality, it is not

Kei Komuro Fails NY State Bar Exam?

  The NY State Board of Law Examiners announced the list of successful applicants on its official website on July 29.   https://www.nybarexam.org/EXJ21/July2021Results.htm   I can't find Komuro's name on the "K to L" page of this list of successful candidates.   According to reports in Japan, the salary at the law firm where Komuro is employed is about 18 million yen for a lawyer in his first year. The salary for a non-lawyer law clerk is believed to be around 6.5 million yen.   If he fails to pass the exam, it will already cast a pall over the newlywed life of the Komuros in New York.   The New York State bar exam is held twice a year, and the next exam will be held in February 2022.
