Sometimes "it helps to be big,."

[Taro Toporific]

Desperate Japanese paying to disappear
'' Running away from your problems is hardly unusual. Paying a professional to handle the details arguably is. In Japan, "yonigeya," or "fly-by-night arrangers," help the desperate and besieged slide past loan sharks, elude stalkers and muscle past mobsters... Occasionally, yonigeya find themselves on the wrong side of trouble. Onodera has been punched several times -- "It helps to be big," he says -- while Ono was kidnapped for four days and severely beaten by mobsters.''
