Johnny Kitagawa abused nearly 1,000 people, BBC Documentary Reveals

The number of men who have come forward to say they were abused by the once-celebrated J-pop agent Johnny Kitagawa is now close to 1,000, according to a BBC documentary airing tonight. The Shadow of a Predator hosted by Mobeen Azhar will show testimony from a wealth of people who were young boys signed by the Johnny & Associates talent agency, which was dissolved last year following the first bombshell documentary from the BBC. The company was dissolved late last year during a dramatic press conference that featured Kitagawa’s niece, Julie K Fujishima, who announced her resignation at the time following months of international scrutiny and an independent investigation.
