Ryoko Hirosue's talent agency has raised a complaint against a program aired on TBS, a leading broadcaster in Japan. The specific details about the program and the nature of the protest have not been disclosed. The issue has garnered significant attention, as it involves a major broadcaster and a high-profile actor represented by an influential talent agency.

In Japan, public figures and their talent agencies often use highly respectful language and publicly avoid conflict. When a situation escalates to a protest, it indicates serious dissatisfaction. Viewers are curious about the incident and are waiting for details and follow-up statements from both parties.

Similar to the US or EU, public disputes between talent agencies and broadcasters are taken seriously in Japan. However, the collective culture in Japan might handle the situation more carefully, often preferring private negotiations before turning to public statements. In the US or EU, such disputes might become public earlier and be addressed more directly.
