TOKYO (Reuters) – Japan’s Fuji Media said on Monday that Chairman Shuji Kanoh and television unit executive Koichi Minato would step down amidst a probe into alleged sexual misconduct.
Fuji TV has been embroiled in a scandal since December when Japanese magazines accused Masahiro Nakai, a TV host and leader of the former boy band SMAP, of sexual misconduct at an event arranged by one of the broadcaster’s executives.
