Nakayama Eri was known for being part of the latest incarnation of “HERO SHOW” at Tokyo Dome City.

A live stage special effects show by Toei, the 2019 show is “Kishiryu Sentai Ryusoulger Show” (Knight Dragon Squadron Ryusoulger), based on the 43rd season of the super sentai show on TV Asahi.

But the biggest surprise was on June 22nd when she announced that she was graduating.

And then Nakayama revealed the reason why she left was the enduring sexual harassment she received and why she waited after Golden Week to come clear of what had happened to her.

Nakayama said that she doubts her own lack of power but there were a lot of things that she can’t forgive and had to speak out.

Nakayama said it was difficult, that while she had the pleasure to meet customers and be with children with good hearts, she felt with the end of the Heisei Era and with the new Reiwa Era, that women should not put up with sexual harassment and keep quiet as they did in the past and children who lived at the end of the era will live without having to endure the harassment of the previous era.  She wants children to know that kind of hero.

Nakayama said that there are rumors that she was forced to quit and people making it look like she was the bad person. And that because she enjoyed her work, she should just shut up and endure it because sexual harassment is just a joke and it can’t be helped because that is part of the industry.

But Nakayama felt that whatever industry you work in, there needs to be a change, especially for the next generation.

Nakayama saw the comments, some saying that she was lying and then she wrote in full detail of the harassment she endured:  She also feels that she feels supported by the comments she received.  And hopes for a better direction in a right society for our children’s future.

Tokyo Dome Co., Ltd. and Toei Agency, Inc. have posted a notice on their website and apologized if the complaint is true and those who have worried about the situation.

The companies are currently investigating and confirming the facts and will post the results of their investigation.
