The head of the Japan High School Baseball Federation committed shocking behavior during Koshien, Japan's biggest high school baseball festival, which has now been revealed to the world and caused great shock.
Japanese media Daily Shincho reported on the 21st that "the sudden resignation of the high school baseball federation president due to 'hugging and kissing in a hotel room' was because of his mistress."
The incident dates back one year. During last year's "Summer Koshien," a major shock occurred for the high school baseball federation. A violent assault took place at Hiroshima's powerhouse Koryo High School baseball team, leading Koryo to announce its withdrawal from the tournament on August 10 last year.
While this incident was already known, there was something even more shocking behind it. This concerns DaKARA Kaoru (69), president of the high school baseball federation, who appeared at an emergency press conference in his capacity as vice president of the tournament.
DaKARA maintained a somber expression throughout the press conference, but behind the scenes, he was committing something completely unimaginable.
Earlier, Weekly Shincho reported in June that Takaru Jeon (Chairman) would step down from the presidency due to "personal circumstances," but there was an affair behind the scenes.
The media stated, "On August 10 evening, DaKARA Yeon Maeng (Chairman), who served as vice president of the tournament, held an emergency press conference alongside Asahi Shimbun publisher and tournament president. His somber expression and bowed head were striking." However, they added, "But if you knew what the president did just before the press conference, no one would think he was sincerely apologizing. That's because on that very morning, President DaKARA had invited a close single woman to a nearby hotel (accommodation) near Koshien."
The person who reported this was B, a friend of the mistress A. The media revealed that A is a 40s office worker living in Tokyo, stating, "President DaKARA and Ms. A became acquainted around ten years ago through their shared love of baseball." They continued, "The two occasionally exchanged messages, but from around December the year before last, they began contacting each other frequently. The president reportedly sent a message saying, 'I'm lonely eating alone.' Ms. A knew that President DaKARA had children but had never heard about his wife, so she naturally assumed he was a widower and single, gradually developing feelings for him."
While maintaining this level of relationship, Ms. A received a call from President DaKARA on August 9 during the Koshien period last year and headed to Koshien on the 10th. B stated, "When A arrived at Koshien and contacted President DaKARA, she was told to come to his hotel room. Although hesitant due to this unprecedented development, she went to the room out of concern for President DaKARA's haggard voice. They began discussing matters such as Koryo High School's withdrawal announcement and the press conference that were yet to be made." She added, "Initially, she was sitting on the bed while the president sat in a chair. However, as they conversed, the president suddenly moved toward her side, embraced her, and even kissed her."
According to the media, the two grew rapidly closer after that day. Two weeks later, they continued secret meetings at hotels in Akashi City, Hyogo Prefecture, where the President of the Softball Association was located, and in September at an Okinawa hotel, which was the venue for the U-18 Baseball World Cup, wherever President DaKARA traveled on official business.
Regarding accommodation expenses, Ms. A worried whether her share had been paid from the federation's funds and asked President DaKARA about it. He reportedly replied, "The High School Baseball Federation is paying, so it's fine."
Although their relationship continued smoothly, a crack appeared in January during New Year's when President DaKARA sent an online message. The president reportedly said, "Today my wife..." Upon hearing those words, Ms. A learned he had a wife and realized they could no longer continue the relationship. She decided to break up with him on the spot since President DaKARA was scheduled to return home one week later on January 10.
Just as Ms. A was about to announce their breakup after spending their last night together, President DaKARA asked her to lend him money. B stated, "President DaKARA seemed to have planned this from the beginning and smoothly requested, 'Please lend me 500,000 yen, which is the withdrawal limit at my bank.' When a surprised Ms. A asked about the purpose, President DaKARA blushed and angrily replied, 'Don't ask about that.' She heard he seemed like he might hit her."
There was no opportunity to discuss their breakup, and Ms. A reluctantly lent him money to calm President DaKARA down. However, when repayment did not occur, she asked again about the purpose in March but could only receive answers that it was used for card loans and credit card payments.
President DaKARA made excuses saying "salary payments were delayed," but Ms. A could not believe him. She eventually sent a direct letter to President DaKARA's position as president of the High School Baseball Federation and also to the National Research and Development Institute for Disaster Science and Technology, where he concurrently served as Lee (President).
Through this document, she revealed her extramarital relationship with President DaKARA and noted that debt repayment was delayed. As a result, President DaKARA received a severe disciplinary warning from the High School Baseball Federation, leading to his resignation.
A federation official stated, "During the High School Baseball Federation's investigation, President DaKARA claimed he had no memory of the incident on August 10 last year. He asked the woman involved to say she mistakenly went to the room. Even after the disciplinary action, the federation continued investigating by phone with the woman, and Ms. A could no longer lie. Now, there is no one in the federation who trusts President DaKARA."
