Re: #7
What are YOU known for, huh?
Go on, say it.
10AnonymousAug 29, 2026 11:46
Kind of late to be saying this at 46…
12AnonymousAug 29, 2026 11:47
No way a manager would do that — she's their meal ticket too.
So is it someone on the production side?

Plenty of people let their emotions run away with them without thinking ahead.

It's not like separate productions — location shoots, dramas, whatever — would independently screw things up.
It'd have to be whoever manages the schedule overall — meaning the agency side.
Well, her ranking within the agency has probably slipped,
so maybe she's not a priority anymore and got handled half-heartedly alongside other clients, leading to mistakes?

So it's an incompetent manager?
Since she's calling it "harassment," maybe the agency wants her to quit?

Turns out it was discovered during a surprise baggage check on passengers.

Come on, it's gotta be the manager — who else would it even be?

Wait, she's not the same person as Yoko Kumada…? Honestly I have no idea who this is lol

46 already, huh, time flies.
Wonder what went wrong.
Maybe getting even a little bit of fame in showbiz made her lose herself?
54AnonymousAug 29, 2026 12:04
Whoever's posting that guy's face in the replies has a seriously nasty personality.
58AnonymousAug 29, 2026 12:07
If it's really happening to her, the agency might be trying to push her out lol
105AnonymousAug 29, 2026 13:28
Is it harassment from her manager?
117AnonymousAug 29, 2026 14:29
Re: #105
More than "harassment," it's probably that they think spending time on a talent at this level is a waste, so they're half-assing it and waiting for her to be the one to bring up ending the contract.

There's been an increase lately in these posts where you can't tell who they're even talking about — the ones with no clear subject.

Re: #114
Ugh, just gotta endure it, endure it!

Re: #114
She just wants attention.
123AnonymousAug 29, 2026 14:58
Kumakiri, Isoyama, people like that — cute, seemed like they had good personalities, but never really broke through. I think that's on their agencies and managers.
124AnonymousAug 29, 2026 15:01
Re: #123
Isoyama… you mean Sayaka Isoyama?
Isn't she someone who made it plenty successful and is still around?
Isoyama would be mad getting lumped in with Asami Kumakiri lol

Background and key points of the discussion

Cryptic posts like this one — writing only “I’ve been holding back” or “harassment” without naming names or specific events — are a recurring pattern on celebrities’ social media, and the lack of detail only invites more speculation from readers. On the thread, many suspected trouble with her talent agency or manager, but these remained pure speculation based only on the wording of the post itself; as of this writing, neither the agency nor Kumakiri herself has offered any specific explanation. Whether we ever find out what the “harassment” refers to depends largely on whether she chooses to reveal more in the future.
