Rina Okamoto, a popular kickboxer who was arrested on suspicion of fraud on December 5, 2022, has once again complained about reselling autographs on Twitter. .
According to reports, Okamoto forged posters signed by professional martial artists Tenshin Nasukawa and Takeru Takeru and sold them at an online auction. There is a suspicion that he cheated out of 99,900 yen. He has admitted to the charges.
In the past, “I don’t really understand people who buy from high-priced resellers”
What is attracting attention this time is Okamoto’s tweet on July 26, 2019. Attaching a screenshot of his autographed trading card that was put up for auction, he lamented, “The card I handed out at Korakuen Hall last night was sold out immediately.”
“I gave away a lot of cards, but I signed less than 10 people. Did you come up to me to sell them because you said you were rooting for me? I’ll give it to a friend, so I’ll give it to a friend. I would like to do only ticket benefits and gift projects.”
Furthermore, on February 15, 2020, he lamented that his goods were being resold, saying, “I’m selling Axta Keychains on mail order for 700 yen, but I don’t really know who buys them from high-priced resellers.” I have a lot of goods every time. Last time and the time before last, I printed out my photos without permission and sold them as not-for-sale, but why would I buy them? You can usually print out photos at a convenience store for 30 yen!” .
On February 12 of the same year, while introducing his own goods, he called out, “Please do not buy from high-priced resellers.”
In this series of tweets from the Internet,
“I’m crazy about reselling autographs myself, but it’s terrible to sell fake autographs impersonating Tenshin Nasukawa.”
“I’m doing the same thing, and it’s called fraud.”
“I should have hated reselling autographs.”
