Tokyo police arrest brothel operator targeting foreign tourists.

Tokyo police arrested Kazuki Sudo and six others for running a brothel for foreign tourists in Kabukicho, amid a crackdown.

So check it out, Tokyo police just made a major move by arresting Kazuki Sudo, who ran a brothel disguised as a men’s aesthetic salon called Sparaku. This guy was operating in Kabukicho, targeting tourists and is now in trouble with the law. Along with him, six others got locked up for allegedly violating anti-prostitution laws, and it looks like they didn’t even try to deny it!

Sudo allegedly offered three women a place for prostitution last year, while promoting his business in English and even accepting foreign cash. He had about 30 customers daily, mostly non-Japanese, making around ¥450,000 daily. Crazy part? All 25 women working there were Japanese, and they got recruited right from Okubo Park. Some were just looking to fund their own costly hobbies, like supporting those underground male idols. Wild world we live in!
