Mai Watanabe (25) was sent to the prosecutor’s office for defrauding a man of approximately 27 million yen using romantic feelings. She called herself “Riri-chan,” and sold a manual on how to get money from men.
■“Itadaki Joshi Riri-chan” received over 200 million yen from a man
The money received is believed to be over 200 million yen.
Suspect Mai Watanabe: “Magical Girl Riri-chan, a married high school girl who protects world peace!”
Suspect Mai Watanabe, also known as “Riri-chan”. She is suspected of having charmed a 50-year-old man she met through a dating app and defrauding him of approximately 27 million yen in cash.
Suspect Watanabe: “I borrowed money from an acquaintance, and if I didn’t pay it, I would have to sell my body to a sex shop.”
■Selling manuals using romantic feelings
Furthermore, Watanabe had written a manual of the techniques under the name “Riri Itadaki” and sold it on the Internet.
Masanori Sento, an expert on fraud cases involving young people: “The word “taku” is also a clever word. It’s easy for girls to use, and it’s a word that stings. I guess it kills the smell of crime.”
Mr. Sento, a writer, has been interviewing Watanabe suspect for three years. The man who gave the money was called “Oji”.
Masanori Sento, an expert on fraud cases involving young people: “Women who want to make money by deceiving men 24 hours a day exchange information on how to deceive old men.“Lili-chan” is the truth. , he is the guru among them.”
This is the manual that Sento-san obtained a few years ago. “Magic” refers to the procedure for “receiving” money from men. He was explaining a successful interaction with “Oji”.
Suspect Watanabe: “Yes” “It’s tough”
Oji: “What happened?”
Suspect Watanabe: “No. It’s nothing.”
Oji: “Tell me what happened.”
Suspect Watanabe: “I don’t want you to hate me.”
Oji: “There’s no way you’ll hate me.”
Suspect Watanabe: “Really?”
Oji: “Yeah. Absolutely.”
Suspect Watanabe: “Actually, it seems like my seniors at work don’t like me right now. So, we’re bullying each other a little.”
It may seem like it’s just a matter of advice, but…
Suspect Watanabe: “I want to quit.”
Oji: “Don’t quit!”
Suspect Watanabe: “I can’t quit…”
Oji: “Why?”
Suspect Watanabe: “I owe money to someone above me. That’s why I can’t quit. I have to pay it back.”
Oji: “Is that so?”
Suspect Watanabe: “Yes, but I’m already suffering mentally, crying every day, and I just want to die.”
Oji: “No.”
Suspect Watanabe: “But I can’t stand being here anymore, I’d rather die.”
Oji: “I’ll do something better than die.”
Suspect Watanabe’s manual: “At this point, I would like to say, “Will you give me money?” but that’s definitely not the case! I try to induce the customer to say “I’ll help you (I’ll give you money).”
In addition to how to prepare as a “tataki girl”, the manual also includes things to be careful about when accepting money and what to do afterwards.
Masanori Sento, who is knowledgeable about fraud cases involving young people: “I’ve written about why you won’t get in trouble, but all you have to do is provide proper aftercare after taking money from an “oji”.”
And in the end…
Suspect Watanabe’s manual: “I wish for your happiness.”
Far from bringing happiness, this manual has become an opportunity for new crimes.
A female university student in Nagoya is said to have defrauded two men out of over 10 million yen. In this case, Watanabe was also arrested on suspicion of aiding and abetting fraud, as he was said to have assisted in the fraud by selling the manual. According to investigators, the manual was sold to about 1,000 people.
A fraud case that takes advantage of romantic feelings between a man and a woman. The manual also contains the reason why Watanabe became a “Itadaki Joshi”.
Manual sold by suspect Watanabe: “I have a person in charge (a designated host) and I want to contribute a lot! This is the whole reason I started using magic!! So I cast a spell on all the customers on LINE, and inside it… I still can’t forget the emotion I felt when I suddenly received 3 million yen from a real lover.”
According to investigators, the money that Watanabe received from the man is believed to be over 200 million yen, but there was almost no money left in his account. Suspect Watanabe admitted the charges, saying, “I committed the crime because I wanted money to play.”
