[/floatl]Ikkei Kojima, formerly a regular TBS presenter but now freelance, appears to have been accused of rape or assault according to this ZakZak article (Japanese). A woman made a complaint against the 64 year old broacaster last year and police interviewed him on a number of occasions in December as well as searching his house. The exact details of the incident are not clear but ZakZak writes that Kojima has been in trouble with women before. In 1991, Focus magazine carried pictures of him with a blonde-haired gyaru, suspected to be underage, which led to his removal from regular shows. He had been working for home shopping programmes but it appears that he has now been dropped by his agency. Even if he escapes prosecution in this instance, it seems unlikely that he will be able to continue his career because freelance work is thin on the ground even for the best talent.
