Ito, who maintains a popular blog, joined Dentsu as a copywriter in 2009. Last December, she accused her former boss at the agency, Yuki Kishi, of sexual and power harassment. She supported her claims by showing text messages from Kishi, who later issued an apology on social media.
In 2014, Shimiken, who has appeared in about 9,300 films since he made his debut in 1998, garnered tremendous attention when he commented on Twitter that males in his profession are more rare than Bengal tigers. Industry estimates reveal that there are less than 100 male actors working full time.
