The story
Yasuda Dai Circus’s Kuro-chan appeared on an ABEMA program airing on the 9th and casually revealed that his savings amount to “¥130 million,” stunning his co-stars, who said “Why would you just say that so easily?” On the 5ch entertainment/sports news thread, opinions split between those saying the amount is modest given his decades of TV exposure and name recognition, and those praising him for saving without being a spendthrift. Some also pointed out that “savings” likely refers only to his bank account balance and may not include assets like stocks or mutual funds, while others worried that publicly naming a specific figure could make him a target for crime.

What people said
I'm pretty sure Yasuda Dai Circus splits everything three ways.
Wait, really?
Kurokawa's actually a genuinely great guy then.
He's not lying.
It's just ¥130 million sitting in an account, that's all.
Even after he made it big he was still getting an allowance from his parents.
Which is wild since he was genuinely popular.
If Kuro-chan barely scrapes together ¥100 million, that's less impressive than it sounds.
Even accounting for spending, he should be close to ¥300 million.
He's not the type to headline his own show, but he's super popular and super recognizable.
I see him all the time on the Keiokaku Keirin (bicycle racing) YouTube channel lol
So that means you've got more than that, huh.
Nah, I've got ¥27 million less than Kuro-chan.
Still, an honor to be in his ballpark.
Either way, I'd rather celebrities just blow their money flashily instead of investing it.
Japan Post Bank only lets you deposit up to ¥26 million total between savings and other financial assets, apparently.
I heard they're petitioning the government to scrap that cap though.
because all he wants is a young wife in her early twenties. That's all this guy is about.
Deposit insurance only covers up to ¥10 million if something goes wrong — what's the point of parking more than that in there?
Well, with a fixed deposit these days that'd be about ¥2.2 million a year in interest.
Your lives are way happier than his anyway, right?
It doesn't include other deposits or financial assets.
No idea how he's got ¥130 million parked at Japan Post Bank given the deposit cap, though.
Maybe whatever's not at Japan Post Bank is just stuffed in a piggy bank at home.
kind of sad.
Background and key points of this discussion
The word “savings” (chokin) doesn’t necessarily mean someone’s total assets — it often just refers to the balance in a deposit account. Japan Post Bank (Yucho Ginko) caps combined ordinary and time deposits at ¥26 million, and this system became a talking point in the thread as well. Since stocks, mutual funds, real estate, and similar holdings aren’t counted as “savings,” the announced ¥130 million doesn’t necessarily reflect Kuro-chan’s full net worth. Opinions diverged on how to judge the figure given his long career and name recognition — some called it substantial, while others felt it was modest for such a highly visible entertainer of his generation. Notably, many worried that stating a specific figure publicly could make him a target for people with bad intentions, though reporting doesn’t clarify whether he or his agency have taken any precautions.
