Uno Kanda: Earrings Stolen at Her Agency — The Thief Was the Staffer Who’d Seemed So Caring

From our other sites

The story

Talent Uno Kanda (51) revealed on the October 7 broadcast of “Ueda to Onna ga Hoeru Yoru” that she once had a pierced earring stolen while filming at her talent agency’s office. The thread also covered a separate incident from this past July, in which one of a pair of custom-made diamond earrings (worth roughly 7.5 million yen) went missing from her home; she reported it to the Metropolitan Police’s Akasaka station, and a woman on her staff in her 20s was later arrested after confessing to the theft. This marks the second time Kanda has been victimized by someone close to her, following a 2015 incident involving a babysitter. Commenters reacted both to the irony that someone who had seemed so devoted turned out to be the culprit, and to skepticism over how much the reported damages were being exaggerated.

People who get close to Uno Kanda are only after her money.
There's no way they actually like her as a person.

Hidetoshi Nakata: "Uh… um…" (the former soccer star was once rumored to have dated her)

Uno…

Draw Four! (her name "Uno" doubles as the card game — Draw Four is a penalty card in it)

Re: #10 So is that a pun combining "thief" (dorobou) with "Draw Four" (doro-fō)?
12AnonymousOct 8, 2026 17:13
Realistically it's probably only worth like 5,000 yen.

Re: #12
Bet it was some festival stall trinket — like 120 yen.
14AnonymousOct 8, 2026 17:14
She was an absolute legend back on Neruton Kōgeidan (a famous matchmaking show from the late '80s/'90s), wasn't she?
15AnonymousOct 8, 2026 17:14
Does she not realize she's the one who turned someone into a thief?
Some people just don't have the self-control to resist that kind of temptation.
17AnonymousOct 8, 2026 17:14
Thirty-six million yen for both of them?

Re: #17
Apparently it's 7.5 million yen



This past July, Kanda discovered that one earring from a custom-made diamond pair (worth roughly 7.5 million yen) had gone missing from her home, and she reported the loss to the Metropolitan Police's Akasaka station. It later came out that a woman on her staff in her 20s came forward and confessed to the theft, and was arrested. This is the second time Kanda has suffered theft at the hands of someone close to her, following the 2015 incident in which a babysitter stole brand-name items from her.

Re: #26
Yep, knew it — she's exaggerating lol
19AnonymousOct 8, 2026 17:16
Well, she does seem like the type people would dislike, honestly
The people around her only seem to be in it for the money.
20AnonymousOct 8, 2026 17:16
To put it mildly, the thief is scum
Seriously, what happened to basic upbringing?
32AnonymousOct 8, 2026 17:20
Re: #20
Stealing is actually one of the most minor sins a person can commit
It's only treated as serious because society's order is built around making money.
28AnonymousOct 8, 2026 17:19
Didn't she get robbed by a housekeeper or something before too?
33AnonymousOct 8, 2026 17:20
If the person properly came forward and confessed, you'd think she'd just keep it to herself
The fact that she's using it as an anecdote on a show like this says something shallow about her character.
41AnonymousOct 8, 2026 17:23
Feels like she tests people.
45AnonymousOct 8, 2026 17:25
Re: #41
Yeah, she seems like the type who'd actually do that lol
71AnonymousOct 8, 2026 17:42
Pierced earrings aren't like clip-on earrings — they shouldn't just fall off on their own, should they?

Re: #71
Apparently it got ripped right out of her ear and she didn't even notice.

Background and Key Points of This Story

It’s worth noting that Kanda’s remarks actually conflate two separate incidents. The story told on the show — losing earrings worth 18 million yen while filming at her agency — is different from the one discussed in the thread: the loss, this past July at her home, of one earring from a custom diamond pair (worth roughly 7.5 million yen). In that case, reports say a woman on her staff in her 20s confessed to the theft and was arrested via the Metropolitan Police’s Akasaka station. This marks the second time Kanda has been victimized by someone in her inner circle, following a 2015 incident involving a babysitter — a recurring pattern of a celebrity being targeted by people close to her. Commenters focused both on doubts about whether the stated damages were exaggerated and on the irony that a staffer who had seemed so devoted turned out to be the culprit. Since the exact amount lost and the details of the arrest remain unconfirmed yet are the kind of claims that spread easily regardless of accuracy, it’s worth reading carefully and distinguishing between what’s been reported as fact and what was simply said on the show.
