Rocky Aoki Dead

Postby Mulboyne » Sat Jul 12, 2008 9:46 am

Rocky Aoki, founder of the Benihana restaurant chain, has died in New York at 69. He's perhaps better known to today's celebrity watchers as the father of model and actress Devon Aoki. The man had a complicated life. This Bloomberg article on his death describes how he got started in America, built his empire and was found guilty by a court of insider trading after picking up a stock tip from former Apple CEO John Scully. A better profile of the man is this 2006 piece by NY Mag which writes about his business and gives the background to the family feud over money. Here's a taste as well as a quick family tree:

“I was like Trump,” brags Rocky, whose hair is still as distinctive as the Donald’s: a tightly permed Jheri curl he says he adopted in the sixties so that white people could tell him apart from other Asians. “Anything to promote my company, I did it. Richard Branson? He copy me”...Night after night, Rocky stayed up till dawn, snorting cocaine, picking up girls, and betting $100 per point on backgammon. For years, he’d been hiding his mistress, Pamela, from his wife, Chizuru, while hiding his other girlfriends (including a Miss Iceland) from both of them. Before his accident, Rocky boasts, he had “three kids from three different women at exactly the same time”―though he only found out about the third via a paternity suit.

One piece of trivia mentioned in the article: Aoki claimed to have invented green tea ice cream. Below is a 1985 commercial which features him and also a short interview from 2007:

Mulboyne, from the NY Mag article you linked in your post:

Later that afternoon, in a scene straight out of Rock Hudson’s Magnificent Obsession, Rocky took a 38-foot racing boat out into San Francisco Bay. He hit 80 miles an hour near the Golden Gate Bridge and then, as New York Times sports columnist Red Smith put it, “Rocky Aoki’s speedboat disintegrated … and so did Rocky.” Rocky splashed down with a broken arm, a shattered leg, a torn aorta, and his liver sliced in half. He was helicoptered to a nearby hospital, where doctors removed his spleen and gall bladder and cut open his chest to perform a ten-hour coronary bypass. “Three days, unconscious,” he says. When he woke up, he recalls, “I’m completely naked, tube in my penis. I see my wife standing over me, on one side. On other side, I see my girlfriend…. I say, ‘Ohhh … shiiit!’ ”



:thumbs: (Didn't Cranky Bastard post a similar story?)

It only gets better:

Lying on the hospital bed, wife and mistress hovering over him, Rocky didn’t know what to do. So he closed his eyes and faked a blackout.



That article itself is titled 'Rocky's Family Horror Show'.

Sorry, I'm just pulling stuff out of something that Mulboyne linked above, but it's really funny.

I used to go to school with his daughter Grace(Kana)from his first marriage. Real down to earth person. Her friends and my friends would often go to clubs and she was a reeeeal knockout, last time I spoke to her, she was going to work for some company in NYC.
She never bragged about her dad, wasn't overly flashy, but nice girl and hot. In my opinion 10X better looking than her little sister Devon.

RIP, Rocky

There's a small coffee shop on the north side Shijo Dori in Kyoto owned by a guy who had the first Japanese restaurant un NYC in the 50's. I talk with him from time to time - interesting person - his grandfather was a butler in the Imperal Court.

OK, you really have us going now... do you remember either the owner's name, or even better, the name of the restaurant? My resident ronin thinks it was Miyako, but there's another restaurant name buried deep in my subconscious mind, and it won't come out... Help!!! :bounce:

Benihana was always a great place to bring your clients.. both Japanese and Americans. Americans were always fascinated by the culinary "live show." The Japanese loved how the food is relatively cheap to what you would pay for back home and you can always file the dinner as company expense.

I've also always been told that Miyako was the first to open in New York but who knows whether that's right?

I really don't know if it was the first in NYC, but my people coming back from our office there tell me it is the most expensive J-trough in the city. The menu for Nobu's Tokyo is a cut-rate bargain compared to their prices at Nobu's NY.

Nobu's Tokyo is the last shop he has opened, that, as has been previously posted, in conjunction with De Niro and another partner. Nobu was in Tokyo for a week, should have left yesterday as a matter of fact.

Greji - I'd reckon nobody's visited your NYC office since about 2003! Nobu has been left far behind by newcomers like Masa.

http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9F06E3DC1639F93AA15751C1A9629C8B63
You are fed what he elects to feed you, most of it sushi, in the sequence and according to the rhythm he decrees. You do not seize control at Masa. You surrender it. You pay to be putty. And you pay dearly. The price fluctuates with the season and the availability of certain delicacies. It now stands at $350 a person before tax, tip and sip of sake or bottled water. Masa, which reopens Jan. 11 after a holiday break, is arguably the most expensive restaurant in New York. Lunch or dinner for two can easily exceed $1,000.

But getting back to the first side topic, I never understood the deal with importing Nobu, a Japanese restaurant I assumed was created to cater to an American audience, back into Japan. Anybody know who their clientele is in Tokyo?

Anyway, I've always wondered if there is a gaijin equivalent of Rocky Aoki in Japan. Any votes? I know Taro has the multiple mistresses and secret children thing going on, but as far as I know he doesn't have the vast business empire (yet).

Uh, huh - I did some searching on that, too, and it's kind of vague "perhaps", "believed to be" etc. If I ever come across more definitive info, I'll post.
Re: Nobu - Fuhgeddaboudit! We've ever been there, never will go]Re: Benihana[/B] - I always enjoy it, cute eye-candy chefs and the food is good, but because of the ambiance, J-expats here don't classify it as a Japanese restaurant.

In London, the definition used to be a place you could pay with your meishi - the bill would get sent to your office afterwards and settled by the accounting department.

Of course, restaurants would do that routinely for Japanese staff but there was almost an international incident back in the eighties when a foreigner working at a Japanese securities house attempted to do the same thing for the first time. I know the point he was trying to make but he was a bit of an arsehole about it. Most people preferred to pay by card and claim expenses anyway later because you could get air miles or some kind of points. This guy had just been made the equivalent of "bucho" in his company - one of the first foreigners to make it - and was told to take out his mainly Japanese staff to a local Japanese eatery.

He decided to test how much "bucho" really meant and paid by his new meishi which had the magic kanji on the Japanese side (most restaurants accepted cards from any Japanese staff but he figured "bucho" entitled him to try it on as well). Sure enough the waiter was bemused by this white guy paying with his card and held an open conversation in front of him asking the Japanese staff at the table what the joke was. One slow-witted guy offered to use his meishi instead before getting a kick on the shins from one of his colleagues. It was all resolved when a particularly sharp manageress-cum-mama went over to see why there was an uproar. She slapped the foreigner on the shoulder and said how upset she was the he hadn't told her he'd been promoted because she would have brought champagne out at the beginning if she had known. She promised to make amends with some celebratory sake. She then waived for someone to deal with his meishi as if it was a mere trifle.

When I heard that story, I marked the manageress down as a woman of uncommon talents. If I'd been the "bucho", I would have tipped my hat to someone who had outbluffed me and left it at that. Sadly, the next day, the bloke went on a misguided campaign to get the company to boycott the restaurant because he felt he had been humiliated. It didn't work and he lost whatever sympathy he might have had for making the point in the first place.

The thing is, it is incredibly easy to get get Japanese people to reveal "prejudices" because their behaviour in many situations is very predictable. In this case, the guy could easily have phoned ahead or taken a manager aside before the meal and explained what he wanted to do and it would have been fine. Instead, he wanted to cause an incident. It's a tactic you can see Debito using frequently. Actually, It's a tactic I would like to say I've grown out of over the years but, sometimes, I do get out of the wrong side of the bed.

Where this guy went wrong is having no idea of what he reasonably wanted to achieve. I think he wanted his card to be turned down completely so he could act outraged the next day in his company and be mollified with a golf club membership or something. The manageress spiked his guns by defusing the tension and he ought to have left it there.

[floatl]Image[/floatl]I didn't really pay attention to Rocky Aoki's third wife, Keiko Ono, except to note that she looks like being at the centre of a legal dispute over his inheritance. She has something of a story herself, however. She was the private secretary to Eitaro Itoyama, the billionaire businessman and former politician. His English wikipedia entry is out of date but it does give you a bit of background on his very colourful career. Private secretary, of course, is a euphemism for mistress and, after Itoyama's political career ended the couple had a very public falling out. Ono had by this time set up a consulting company in New York called Altesse and was based in offices owned by Itoyama's business interests. She felt that he was not honouring promises to look after her financially and the disagreement led him to order her eviction. She went to court in a case which became the subject of much gossip on both sides of the Pacific. Here's a report from 1996:

The legal battle between Japanese billionaire-politician Eitaro Itoyama and his mistress is getting ugly and very personal. Keiko Ono, Itoyama's former lover and business partner, claims in court papers that the real-estate mogul tried to "obtain illicit and bizarre sexual favors" from her as part of "an elaborate scheme to defraud" her of her "business, her career and her home." Two years ago, we first reported how Ono was trying to keep Itoyama's company from evicting her from a sprawling condo in the Olympic Tower. The thirtysomething Ono has since cleared out of that pad. But she wants it back, and she's pressing her claim that the 53-year-old Itoyama reneged on a promise to "take care of her for life" if she sold him shares in a New Jersey golf course they co-owned.

Ono contends their relationship fizzled because she wouldn't move back to Japan to be Itoyama's mistress. Why not? According to her court papers, the former member of Japan's Diet "began to make perverse and disgusting demands ... filthy and humiliating requests. "The demands were occurring at a time when Itoyama seemed to be becoming increasingly impotent, as he was able only to consummate sexual activity approximately once per week," Ono's court papers filed in New Jersey Superior Court contend. "Ono refused to comply with these demands. Itoyama was insistent, pressing his demands in a threatening manner and explicitly linking her financial security to her willingness to comply ... "

Itoyama has vigorously denied those allegations. A New Jersey judge dismissed Ono's action, saying that her case should be heard in New York. A New York judge ruled last month that the "sordid tale" should go to a jury. Itoyama's lawyers have argued that Ono's case is a "thinly disguised effort to punish Mr. Itoyama for ending this relationship ... to harass and embarrass" him in order "to extort a large cash settlement." They contend she's failed to prove Itoyama ever promised her anything.


Interestingly, one of Ono's confidants at the time was Satomi Kataoka who you may remember from this thread as having wreaked her own high profile vengeance on a former lover.

One surmises that Itoyama wanted to defecate and/or urinate on her. Certainly understandable, given that her raison d'etre seems to be attaching herself parasitically to wealthy, aging lotharios - she's like a maggot attracted to the stench of sleaze.

By the way, Itoyama would've been 54 at the time of the 1996 court dispute in which she claims he was able to bang her only once a week. Rather young for that kind of impotence; he must be a heavy smoker.

Or maybe Eitaro Itoyama wanted her to defecate and/or urinate on him as she rammed a dildo up his ass while a poodle licked his balls. That would be my guess.

NY Post: Benihana investors dish out a diss to the Aokis
Benihana's shareholders served up a defeat yesterday to the heirs of company founder Rocky Aoki. Investors approved the Japanese steakhouse chain's controversial capital-raising plan, despite last-minute pleas by Aoki's descendants, who said the measure would water down their shares while protecting the stakes controlled by several board members. Management wants the company to merge with a subsidiary called BHI Mergersub, so Benihana can issue 12.5 million additional shares. The company said it may not issue the stock, but needs the option in case of future money woes. The children were supported by New York hedge fund Coliseum Capital, the largest holder of Benihana's Class A shares, and even Rocky's widow, Keiko Aoki. One unexpected outcome is that the battle may help mend the longtime rift between Rocky's children and Keiko, his third wife.

Benihana declined to reveal the exact tally of the vote, but sources said it was a close call. People close to Rocky's heirs said the family is "assessing their options," but added that legal action is unlikely as the children -- who are the company's largest shareholders -- are hoping to work with management. Benihana didn't respond to a request for comment. The meeting, which took place at a Westin hotel in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., was often tense, sources said. Kevin Aoki, Rocky's son from his first marriage, slammed management for asking for "a blank check." After the meeting, the children spoke to Keiko, one person said. "I don't know if I want to say it was healing, but it was very positive."
