“Delivery Health King” Busted – 1800 Girls, 62 Brothels

Japan’s top sex tycoon, said to employ 1800 girls in 62 brothels and operate a score of hotels and other companies, has been arrested after police caught him operating a brothel in a brothel-free zone.
The 47-year-old Korean man, a resident of Tokyo’s flashy Minato ward and director of dozens of shady companies, is said to run a sexual service empire spanning Tokyo and 4 prefectures.
According to police, his empire includes at least 62 delivery health shops and he employs 1800 girls, making him the biggest pimp in Japan and earning him the industry tag of “Delivery Health King.”
Alongside the brothels, he also manages a group of 32 companies (under “Amuse” corporation, a “consulting” company whose site promptly disappeared on the day of his arrest) involved in marketing, hotels and other such activities. Year-to-date revenues are said to be in excess of ¥270,000,000.
His undoing came when he was caught exploiting the wrong loopholes in the surreal quasi-legal framework surrounding Japan’s vast prostitution industry.
Police found he was secretly operating a camouflaged brothel in Tokyo’s Shinagawa ward; in an area where brothels were banned, he presided over a ruse intended to exploit the face that whilst brothels were illegal in the area, both delivery health and love hotels were not.
Thus he arranged a “massage” facility where male patrons would “hire a room” and then call a prostitute to the room themselves – in effect combining a love hotel and delivery health girl business in the same package.
This, it was thought, would escape the definition of brothel, although he still directly provided for the rental of both the room and the girl, in the same building.
Police seem to have disagreed with his novel interpretation of the law’s definition of “brothel” – they have charged him with operating a brothel in an unauthorised area, based on his facility providing sexual massages to male patrons.
He admits the charges, saying “I knew the operation of a full-service brothel was illegal. I operated an illegal massage booth operation in a forbidden area.”
Police are investigating to see whether he was secretly operating other such unauthorised brothels under their noses, as seems rather likely.
With his wealth and probable police and yakuza connections (ethnic Koreans are generally recognised as being heavily overrepresented in the ranks of yakuza and other Japanese underworld activities), it seems either police will either dig deeper and ruin him completely as an example, or else he will find the “registration” rates his enterprises pay to police increased and charges quietly dropped.

"he will find the “registration” rates his enterprises pay to police increased"
Wow! Only in Japan you have to pay police protection money if entering sex business? Isn't that a bribe?
"Only in Japan"
Seriously? You honestly saying that? In case you don't realize, police aren't paid a lot anywhere. No matter who you are, eventually your safety supersedes your honor. Enough threats to people other than yourself whom you love, and bribes are a much lesser evil in the human mind.
Why pimps always look so happy? ;)
why they would'nt?
unless you can understand that youll never be one!
1800 girls had just gone unemployed, good job goverment !
Probably the Government wasn't getting its bribes err i mean taxes.
I'm sure after paying the "penalties, fees, and interest", he would be let go.
did you mean brides not bribes by any chance? ; D
They probably were. He has to launder the money through his dummy company, the "amuse" consulting company; that company almost assuredly has to pay taxes. Otherwise when/if hes audited he would have no way to explain his personal wealth. Not sure how he cooked the books for his main dummy company though, that has to be fairly complex if they don't actually DO anything at all.
It says in this article at the top that his consulting company managed 32 other companies. Probably where he laundered his money.
Exactly. People have sex for all kinds of reasons, and doing it for money or paying money for it is fine.
I'm sure his second in command, if he had one/otherwise someone else, took control over right after his arrest anyway.
Don't worry, I'm sure they would be well....."taken care of" >.>
I blame Ishihara for this.
Living the dream!
I take back what I said about Koreans being lazy. This guy is a hard-working man who's just trying to make a living in this world.
I never meet many lazy Koreans the same goes for Mexicans.
Both will work their asses off for money.
He's my Dream
You like balding Korean old men?
I don't care if he runs a brothel, or a prostitution ring, in fact I wonder why its just not openly legalised and regulated proporly with decent health checks...
Also, then you could Tax them.
also new job market.
Also, less news about it.
Also, more news about other things.
Also, more chance people like me gets to lose their virginity. Though I doubt I'd do it...
this guy was living the dream indeed.
i wonder what happens to his imperium now.
will all those brothels be closed or just that one in tokyo's no fun allowed zone?
Think just that one so far, and any additional ones the cops can find.
japanese brothels are awful, the girls are usually chinese and about as sexy as a door mat and they just tell you to 'hurry up' all the time
don't go to a brothel in japan, just order an escort instead
"Police found he was secretly operating a camouflaged brothel in Tokyo’s Shinagawa ward"
The police were probably using the brothels services before busting the guy.
Perfect reaction image face.
The officer on the left looks so displeased at this arrest :(
Probably displeased his face is being shown on public tv for all those gangster underlings to see... and the other two officer is smartly hiding their face behind the tree xD
No racist anti-Korean comments from 2ch? Aww, I was looking forward to those.
They are busy bashing fuji tv now.
And accusing a crimilal has nothing to do with racism.
no 2ch interview with him on how to be this successful?
LOL Look at him standing up there all smug like a pimp! Well, I guess he is a pimp. LOL The Mac Daddy of Tokyo! XD
He was giving off his own version of the troll face.
Korean? Oh, the money probably goes to N.Korea to make nuclear bombs.
Yeah, the police must be investigating prime minister's donation scandals now. Previously, they raid the office of the prime minister in Nov 2010 (That was an unheard-of story!); a security agent of the office of the prime minister got arrested for a trouble over Delivery Health business (this guy was running Delivery Health). Obviously prime minister Kan have a connection with pro-N.Korea activist group and his cabinet has been manipulating information though, it appears that the police are doing their duty.
Japan might as well do what California did to OJ and Micheal.Make them pay millions of dollars out of there own pokets.
Korean? ...ugh
2ch is gonna hate, cause he's Korean.
I know they hate these pimps. But that's not because the criminal is korean. They are gonna hate if this pimp was an American or Japanese. Just because koreans commit crimes all the time in Japan and 2ch hate them doesn't mean 2ch hate korean.
Wow Japan's policies are really fucked up, their no-foreigner law is complete bullshit. So if you want to apply for citizenship "legally" you can't but as long as you own a sex club empire or have underground connections you're A-OK ?! damn, first Chinese criminals and now Korean yakuzza sex leaders.......
Wonder if we can get a hold on a list of all his customers and the girls he employs, name / age / info and all =)
w-w-w-wait, he did 1800 chicks?!?!?!
...h-heh there n-no way.
he probably just snuggled
This guy looks like Jii-san from Yokohama Kaidashi kikou
i wish i had 1800 girls aswell i got none :(
Pimpin' ain't easy, I guess.
Delivery Health King just does not sound fitting he should be called King Pimp.
Still why just just outright legalese brothels and make it taxable but require all the girls to use protection and be regularly tested?
That way the so called protection money they now pay goes to bettering the community vs lining the coffers of corrupt police.
And said corrupt police will need a new and likely more harmful source of income.
Slits for eyes!
