TOKYO (Reuters) - Japan's top talent agency Johnny & Associates said on Monday it would split into two entities - one devoted to compensating victims of sexual abuse by its late founder, adding that 325 people so far have sought damages.
The agency, which represents only male entertainers, last month admitted that Kitagawa, who died in 2019, had abused hundreds of boys and young men seeking stardom going back to at least the 1970s. Kitagawa's niece Julie K. Fujishima last month resigned as agency president, apologising and promising reform and compensation.
A separate company would be spun off to take over the talent management business, renewing contracts with those individuals or groups wishing to stay, he told a briefing. Its new name will be chosen by fans of its entertainers.
