# Johnny Kitagawa

> John Hiromu Kitagawa, known professionally as Johnny Kitagawa, was a Japanese business magnate, promoter, and record producer. He was best known as the founder of Johnny & Associates, a talent agency for numerous popular boy bands in Japan. In 2023, after his death, a BBC documentary, Predator: The Secret Scandal of J-Pop, reignited discussion of allegations that he had taken advantage of his position to engage in improper sexual relationships with boys under contract to his talent agency. This led to an independent probe which concluded that Kitagawa had "repeated and widely" abused boys in his organizations since the 1970s.
