Ryoko Hirosue: Japan's 'little sister', 2 times of 'cheatin.g' ruined her career

Ryoko Hirouse is known as the "national sister" of the land of cherry blossoms. However, her personal life has been quite chaotic, having had two affairs and getting divorced to follow her lover, a chef.

Ryoko Hirosue (born 1980) is known by Japanese media as "National Sister", "The Last Beautiful Gir.l of the 20th Century", "National Beauty Treasure of Japanese Entertainment Industry". Ryoko entered the entertainment industry as a photo model thanks to her innocent and sweet appearance since the ag.e of 14. She appeared in many media outlets and was favored by brands before officially becoming an actress.

She has participated in many Japanese films and television series. In 2008, Ryoko starred in Departures - the Oscar-winning film for Best Non-English Language Film. Currently, at the ag.e of 43, Ryoko Hirosue still maintains an irreplaceable position and receives top salaries in Japan. The pure image and perfect mother of Japanese star Ryoko Hirosue was completely destroyed after she was continuously exposed for having ambiguous affairs with married men.

On January 10, Yahoo Japan reported that Ryoko Hirosue’s extramarital affair caused serious damage to the brands that worked with her. Based on the number of advertising contracts signed, the Japanese beauty must pay 200 million Yen (equivalent to 33.6 billion VND) in compensation for breach of contract and consequences.

Because the compensation was so large, the management company asked Ryoko Hirosue to share the hardship. However, the actress refused and continuously scolded the management company. In the media, the Japanese actress bluntly declared: "I will not pay even a single cent." Ryoko Hirosue said that the contract compensation was the responsibility of the management company and she hired a lawyer to protect her rights.

Ryoko Hirosue's attitude caused a stir. Japanese netizens condemned the actress for being stubborn and unrepentant. According to them, by causing a big personal mistake and negatively affecting many partners, Ryoko Hirosue has the responsibility to coordinate with the management company to find the best solution to the consequences, instead of shirking responsibility.

According to NHK, Ryoko Hirosue and her management company have been at odds for months. The Japanese actress once accuse.d her management company and Jun Izutsu (now her ex-husband) of colluding to extort mone.y from her mistresses. According to Ryoko Hirosue, because they failed to get a large sum of mone.y from chef Toba Shusaku, the management company and Jun Izutsu openly "cheated" in order to bring her down.

In June 2023, Ryoko Hirosue was photographed entering a hotel with chef Toba Shusaku. They had been secretl.y having an affair since March 2023. On June 14, 2023, under pressure from public opinion, Ryoko Hirosue and her lover wrote a handwritten letter admitting their mistake. After the "cheatin.g" scanda.l broke out, Ryoko Hirosue's image collapsed and she was boycotted in Japanese showbiz.

Recently, Ryoko Hirosue and Toba Shusaku have completed divorc.e proceedings with their spouses. The Japanese actress and her lover have decided to live together. Japanese media reported that they will get married this year. This will be the third marriage of the Japanese beauty.

Last year, she told the media that she wanted to find someone who would make her feel loved. That person is currently the Michelin-starred chef and family man with two children, Toba Shusaku.

This is the second time Ryoko Hirosue has been caught cheatin.g with her husband. The incident has severely damaged the reputation of one of the most famous beauties in the cherry blossom country. She is being strongly boycotted, with many brands removing her images. She is likely to be cu.t from her new film role, facing a contract compensation case that could cost millions of dollars. Ryoko Hirosue met chef Toba Shusaku at the 2022 Great Mother Awards. The two kept in touch and maintained a close relationship until they were caught on camera entering a hotel in March.

The last time, on June 3, the actress and Toba Shusaku appeared at a luxury hotel in Tokyo, Japan. They chose different times, appearing separately late at night to avoid being detected. Ryoko Hirosue was photographed wearing a black hat, covering her face. Her chef lover appeared with his assistant not long after.

After being photographed entering a hotel, Ryoko Hirosue was angry and "cleared" that she had no ambiguous relationship. Responding to Weekly Bunshun, the actress stammered, leaving many questions about the relationship unanswered, unable to explain why she was photographed with the chef. "I know the chef. We did not "have an affair" as the media reported, but I don't know how to explain. Both he and I have families. I also have three children. Please respect my privacy," Hirosue said.
