Details emerge about 'drug-fueled entertainment' involving Raysum founder and 2 women

Tokyo Reported18-05-2025

TOKYO (TR) – Last week, Tokyo Metropolitan Police arrested the founder of real estate investment company Raysum Co., Ltd. and two women over the alleged possession of illegal drugs in a luxury hotel room in Chiyoda Ward last year.
As previously reported, police found Tsuyoshi Tanaka, 60, to allegedly be in possession of approximately 0.859 grams of cocaine and approximately 0.208 grams of kakuseizai (methamphetamine) together with Miho Okumoto, 32, and Mona Konishi, 21, in a room of the hotel on June 24.
Police have not revealed whether the suspects admit to violating the Narcotics Control Act and the Stimulants Control Act.
To this point, few details have been revealed about actually transpired in that hotel room. However, news site News Post Seven provides details, much of which comes via the submission of a criminal complaint by Konishi, a student at the Institute of Science Tokyo, against Tanaka over alleged sexual assault.
A reporter for a national newspaper tells News Post Seven, 'Okumoto and Konishi were providing drug-fueled entertainment to Tanaka. However, when things got out of hand, Konishi asked her partner for help. The police rushed to the scene and discovered drugs in the room where the suspects were staying. This led to the arrests.'
On August 8, Konishi filed the criminal complaint, which complaint detailed the circumstances that led to how an ordinary female college student ended up getting caught up in a drug-fueled party. Tsuyoshi Tanaka, left, and Mona Konishi(X) Papakatsu
At the time, Konishi was 20 years old and a second-year student at the institute. Around February or March of last year, Konishi was approached by a scout on the streets of Roppongi. After providing him her contact information via the chat app Line, the scout began sending her 'job offers,' including hostess work and papakatsu , or compensated dating.
Regarding papakatsu, the scout explained that one offer for work at a hotel paid 200,000 yen an hour. The offer would involve one man and several women, who would touch each other in their underwear. She was assured that there would be no sexual intercourse with the man. The man would use drugs, but the women would not have to.
Attracted by the high pay, Konishi went to a specified luxury hotel in March. There, she first met Tanaka, the founder and former chairman of Raysum.
'When I arrived at the hotel, I found the defendant [Tanaka] and a young woman in her underwear,' the complaint reads. 'The accused instructed the complainant [me] to change into underwear, and [I] followed those instructions. As soon as [I] was in underwear, the [other] woman pretended to touch [my] breasts and genitals.
Tanaka took drugs as this transpired.
'At that time, [I] realized that there were several types of drugs, but did not know what kind of drugs they were other than marijuana, which had a strong smell,' the complaint continues. 'Large amount of money'
Despite being told that they did not need to use drugs, they were forced to put marijuana in their mouths, which caused them discomfort. They stayed at the hotel for 15 hours and then left. About three weeks later, Konishi received 3 million yen through the scout.
After that, between April and May, the scout called her twice. Konishi said, 'I decided to answer the call because I was being offered such a large amount of money.'
According to the complaint, the acts carried out on the second and third times were almost the same as the first. 'But there were multiple women accompanying [Tanaka], and sometimes more than three people, including [me], were present,' the complaint says.
It was during this time that Konishi learned that the man's name was Tanaka Tsuyoshi, and that the drugs other than marijuana were cocaine and stimulants.
On the third occasion, Konishi claims that she was forced to inhale drugs other than marijuana. While she was in a daze, Tanaka inserted a toy into her, causing her pain. Tokyo police arrested Miho Okumoto last week over the alleged possession of illegal drugs (X) 'In a daze from taking drugs'
Despite feeling uncomfortable, Konishi returned for a fourth visit on the evening of June 24, the day of the incident.
'Tanaka and Okumoto were in the room,' another news reporter says of the hotel room upon the arrival of Konishi. 'They were both already in a daze from taking drugs.'
Konishi's first impression of Tanaka was that 'he was a man who asked for strange things, but he was a gentle person and didn't seem scary.' However, Tanaka was different that day. He ordered Konishi, who had just arrived at the room, to get naked.
Okumoto then touched Konishi's breasts and genitals. Tanaka, who had only looked at Konishi up until then, reached out to touch her body. As they fondled her, both of the suspects had cream that appeared to contain drugs on their hands.
Konishi filed the complaint for non-consensual sexual intercourse resulting in injury, claiming that she had suffered post-traumatic stress disorder as a result of Tanaka forcing her to perform sexual acts.
News Post Seven provides multiple photographs of Tanaka and Okumoto in bathrobes in the hotel. Other photos show items that are apparently illegal drugs on tables in the room. Miho Okumoto is popular on Instagram (X) Paying women for companionship
After the incident, Tanaka entered a hospital in Chiba Prefecture. He founded the real estate investment company Raysum in 1992. Within nine years, it was listed on JASDAQ stock exchange.
Currently, Raysum is a wholly owned subsidiary of real estate company Hulic Co.,Ltd. Tanaka served as chairman of the board of directors of Raysum until November 2021.
Indeed, Tanaka was a luminary in the real estate business. But, according to Shukan Bunshun , he was also widely known for paying women for companionship.
A person connected to a bar in Minato Ward says Tanaka prefers young ladies from the ward. 'Tanaka paid high fees to male 'attendants' to prepare young women for him,' the source assures. 'He mainly targeted 'Minato Ward girls,' including hostesses, influencers and adult video actresses. He called multiple young women to a hotel and had them perform obscene acts under the guise of 'entertainment.' He was famous for papakatsu because he paid large amounts of money to women as compensation.'
Okumoto, a native of Kyoto Prefecture, fit the bill. Popular on Instagram, she moved to Tokyo and worked for a period at an advertising company. She then went on to other things.
'Okumoto had been an underground idol, a race queen and a gravure model,' an acquaintance of hers says. 'She had no permanent job. Recently, she had been working at a hostess club in Roppongi, but her work schedule was irregular and she was the type of person who just went with the flow. That's when she met Tanaka and got immersed in high-value projects. I heard she was a regular.'

Chiba executive suspected of scalping tickets for MLB opening series

TOKYO (TR) – Tokyo Metropolitan Police have arrested a 54-year-old company president for illegally reselling tickets for Major League Baseball's opening two-game series and other games at Tokyo Dome earlier this year, reports NHK (May 27). According to police, Mamoru Kokubo illegally resold 12 tickets for the opening series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Chicago Cubs and exhibition games involving the Yomiuri Giants and Hanshin Tigers in March this year. The tickets have a face value of 430,000 yen but Kokubo, a resident of Funabashi City, Chiba Prefecture, collected 7.89 million yen in the resale, police said. Upon his arrest on suspicion of violating the Ticket Resale Prohibition Act, Kokubo admitted to the allegations. 'After buying professional baseball tickets on a resale site several times, I thought I could make some extra cash. I started using the site to resell tickets,' the suspect said. 'I used the money to finance the company I run.' Mamoru Kokubo (X) Non-existent company All told, Kokubo obtained a total of 72 tickets by applying under the names of multiple companies and relatives for corporate slots in the so-called '6-game pack,' which included tickets for the two opening series games and four exhibition games. He put 62 of these tickets up for resale on a resale site, reselling them for up to 2 million yen each, making a profit of 21.8 million yen. At the time, tickets for the opening series between the Dodgers and Cubs were being bought and sold on resale sites for several times the retail price. Some tickets were being sold for anything from several hundred thousand yen to as much as 2 million yen each. According to the official website, the cheapest 'Reserved Seat A' for the '6-game pack' was on sale for 115,500 yen, while the most expensive was the 'Diamond Box' at 679,000 yen. To apply, users entered the company's name, address, name of person in charge, and contact information on the site. However, according to the Metropolitan Police Department, they are not required to submit documents or otherwise verify the existence of the company. Police suspect that Kokubo purchased tickets under the name of a non-existent company. The Los Angeles Dodgers and Chicago Cubs played two games at Tokyo Dome in March 'Dark side is expanding' The Ticket Resale Prohibition Act came into effect in June 2019 as people who really wanted tickets had difficulty obtaining them due to unfair high-price resales by businesses and individuals. These scalpers bought up tickets and sold them on resale and auction sites at prices far above the list price. Violators are subject to one-year in prison or a fine of up to 1 million yen, or both. However, this law only applies to cases where the act is carried out 'as a business' with the intention of continuing repeatedly, so the current situation is that crackdowns are not keeping up with the spread of unfair high-price resales on resale sites. Kensaku Fukui is an attorney familiar with the issue of resale of tickets. He tells NHK, 'Online resales are very convenient, but their dark side is also expanding. It is becoming common to see listings at prices several times or even dozens of times the retail price, and ordinary people are no longer able to purchase them at the normal price. There is growing anger against hoarding and high-priced resales.' According to Fukui, resale sites allow listings anonymously. In many cases, they do not respond to requests for disclosure of information about the resellers. 'Many resale sites are structured so that the higher the resale price, the higher the commission they receive, and they are making considerable profits,' Fukui adds. 'They may be held responsible for their complicity in illegal listings. At the very least, they are being held socially responsible.'

Japan appeals court orders state, Tokyo to pay damages over false accusation

A Japanese appeals court has upheld a lower court ruling and ordered the central and Tokyo Metropolitan governments to pay increased damages over the wrongful arrest and detention of three people accused of illegal exports. The court also recognized the investigation by the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department and prosecutors as unlawful. On Wednesday, the Tokyo High Court ordered the governments to pay over 166 million yen, or about 1.15 million dollars, in damages to the three plaintiffs. The plaintiffs are two executives and the bereaved family of another executive of Japanese chemical machinery manufacturer Ohkawara Kakohki. In 2020, Tokyo police arrested the three executives of the Yokohama-based company for allegedly exporting illegally to China and elsewhere machinery that could be converted for military use. Although they were indicted, prosecutors later dropped the charges in a rare move, and the three men were declared innocent. The plaintiffs sued the central and Tokyo governments, claiming that they suffered due to the illegal investigations. In the ruling on Wednesday, the Tokyo High Court's Presiding Judge Ota Teruyoshi said the Tokyo police's decision not to conduct the additional investigations that are usually required to determine whether a product is subject to export control lacked a rational basis. He added that the prosecutors had no reasonable basis to suspect the defendants of guilt. In 2023, the Tokyo District Court had ordered the two governments to pay damages worth over 162 million yen, or about 1.12 million dollars, to the plaintiffs.
