Comedian Takahashi Kenichi (photo left, 36) has been arrested for molesting a high school girl on a train. One half of the manzai duo King of Comedy, Takahashi was detained for molesting the girl on a packed Chiyoda Line subway train during the morning rush hour on July 11. Though he is denying the charges, his management agency have already imposed “jishuku”, the Japanese custom of apology followed by reclusion when caught doing something, and that he was under house arrest. As they almost always work as a pair, his partner Konno Hiroki (photo right, 28) will likely have to reconsider his career options. A recently recorded NHK show, due to be aired in August, will have the duo’s segment edited out.
