Ken Watabe adultery scandal: Roppongi toilet sex, multiple other affairs
You might think that being married to the beautiful model and actress Nozomi Sasaki would be enough to satisfy a man. You’d be wrong.
A scandal has broken out in the Japanese entertainment world after a tabloid scooped an interview with a mistress of popular comedian Ken Watabe.
Apparently they met numerous times even after his marriage to have sex in public toilets. The 47-year-old Watabe would drive around in his car, according to the woman, scouting out a suitably quiet toilet in the basement of the Roppongi Hills complex in Tokyo, and then message his office lady lover to come. He would then promptly lock them both inside one of those larger, multipurpose toilets meant primarily for people with disabilities. Hardly what you might call romance, perhaps, though this allegedly happened about twice per week.
Disgruntled at his increasingly demeaning behavior that treated her almost literally like a human toilet (a term in Japanese for a slut and a whole subgenre of Japanese porn), it seems she went to the tabloid with her story.
It is reported that Watabe had affairs with several other women.
Now he has temporarily withdrawn from his lucrative television jobs (eight regular gigs). Rumors are swilling online that he also learned English for a time in order to make it big in the United States — and, naturally, only picked certain kinds of female teachers.
Sasaki is now 32 and married Watabe in 2017. Their first child was born in 2018.
If this all sounds incredible, think again.
Being married to (and having three children with) Anne Watanabe was not good enough for Masahiro Higashide, who was having a long-running affair with a young actress, Erika Karata. The fallout has derailed both Higashide and Karata’s careers.
Nor was being in a relationship with the stunning Haruna Yabuki good enough for Masaki Nishina, who was cheating on her with a hostess.
Just Ai Tominaga was not enough for actor Shun Shioya and got punched for his infidelity.

Assuming this story was true are we to believe that Watabe couldn’t afford a love hotel?
@Rockit
He may have thought this was more discreet and easier to hide from the cameras of the tabloids. And/or it may have developed into a fetish in its own right…
I think George Michael proved that hotels are superior.
