DOA Encourages Sexual Harrasment
 
SOURCE: lol

Quote:

Tomonobu Itagaki, known for his game Dead or Alive, was formally charged in a Japanese court with sexual harrasment according to zakzak.co.jp. The former employee is taking Itagaki to trial in Tokyo District Court for the sum of 10 million yen. According to the article and allegations by the woman, the two have had relations since 2003 up until she quit on September 10th of this year. Itagaki admits the relationship but says it was consensual. It also seems he has been given a lesser job title in his Team Ninja company to possibly lessen the blow. We'll have more as it breaks and if it breaks.
I didn't think they had a crime for sexual harrasment in Japan.

If she's admitting the relationship, what's the grounds for harassment and what's she alleging? I don't really get it. -_o

In any case I've heard this one, and it's made of lol and fail.

Well, you can be in a relationship and still refuse sexual advances. Anyway, an article at GamesAreFun fleshes it out a bit:

Quote:

According to the report, this all started 3 years ago. Itagaki and the woman, who did PR for Tecmo, were in a taxi after a company karaoke party. The woman claims he asked her if she was married, then kissed her against her will and touched her inappropriately. She also claims Itagaki made frequent unwanted advances on her over the next few years, going so far as to sometimes lock the two of them in the office, visit her in hotels under the guise of company business, and such.

She approached Tecmo about it, but she claims they just told her to handle it herself. After being absent from work for a couple weeks due to mental and emotional anguish, she finally was able to get counseling from the company's personnel manager in July.

When Tecmo questioned Itagaki about all this, he admitted to kissing her, but said anything they did was with her consent. Seeing this as inappropriate behavior, Tecmo demoted Itagaki, but by title only, as he still performed the same duties and had the same actual position.

After being told by the company that Tecmo could not take her accusations of sexual harassment seriously, the woman quit and proceeded to sue Itagaki for 10 million yen. This was back in September.

So, though this happened awhile ago, it only became public news recently. It appears Tecmo is now ready to go to court with the plaintiff (who is now 31), so we'll see what happens from here.

As a note, Itagaki is married and has children.
Regardless of what happens with the lawsuit, he can probably expect a much messier and more vehement divorce proceeding sometime soon.

Who would bang Itagaki? He's an ugly ugly man.

Sadly cheating and stuff is normal in japan, and the wives know about it. And I doubt the girl has a chance of winning this.

Same reason nineteen year olds marry seventy year old billionaires every month, I'd wager.

Itagaki is sexually frustrated, his games like DOAX refelects clearly. When he got enough of polygon models designing, he jumped on her. He drinks alot too.

I am not surprised he did that, its about time.

If you want to see what sexual fantasies his mind harbors, download latest 'girls trailer' of DOAX2 from gametrailers.

RABicle Nov 11, 2006 02:55 AM

He's just a wanker. Seriously. It's the only single word that encompasses his entire existence.

Vemp Nov 11, 2006 07:26 AM

Oh, I thought touching girls against their will inside public transportation vehicles is a way of saying "hello" in Japan?

DOA sucks anyway. The game and the upcoming movie.

Lost_solitude Nov 20, 2006 07:31 PM

L O friggin L dude...wow just wow. nothing much else to say about that.

BIGWORM Nov 20, 2006 10:52 PM

I would laugh if her proof of sexual harassment is the scantiness of Itagaki's games--namely the DOAXBV series and its "exploitation" of women.
