The Wakayama Prefectural Police revealed on May 8, 2024 that Your Name. movie producer Koichiro Itou has been referred to prosecutors for additional violation of Child Prostitution & Pornography law in Japan, after it came to light that he had paid an underage girl for sexual intercourse.

The latest case involved a 17-year-old high school girl from Yokohama. Investigators believe Itou knew the girl was a minor when he paid her 30,000 yen for having sexual intercourse at his residence in December 2023.

He is also suspected of taking and saving photographs of the act.

    Wait was your name like that? It was recommended to me so many times when it came out that I started calling it your rope because of people saying the Japanese title when I didn’t know what they were talking about.

      Koichiro Ito was the producer, NOT the director who is famous for creating those movies

      And no, Your Name is not like that at all
