It was revealed yesterday that TV Asahi presenter Tokunaga Yumi (28) and her producer husband divorced in September. Tokunaga was embroiled in an affair scandal this spring with comedian Uchimura Teruyoshi (39, photo, U-chan of the duo U-chan Nan-chan), who has something of a reputation as an “announcer killer.” She quit as presenter (usually called ‘announcer’, or ‘ana’ for short) of the Super Morning show following the scandal. There is also a story circulating of a rape case involving a TV Asahi employee that the company has kept covered up for the last six months. With the impending resignation of some senior NTV officials over a scandal at that station (see Oct. 29 news story), TV is in the news for the wrong reasons these days.
