The story

Businessman and TV personality Ranmaru Kishitani said on Miki Fujimoto’s YouTube channel that his goal for his twenties is to earn ¥1 billion, revealing he wants a massive house complete with a pool, pizza oven, and barbecue. The son of actor Goro Kishitani and singer Kaori Kishitani (of the band Princess Princess), his actual day job is running MMBH Inc., a company that helps students apply to universities abroad. He also admitted, “I’ve been earning way too much ever since I started appearing in the media.” On 5channel, reactions split between people calling the goal “a small dream” and others who, given his parents’ wealth, wondered if he’d already hit it.

Guess I'll crack open a beer while watching Peace-kun, the world's most famous capybara from Omiya Zoo, on YouTube

Wow.
Because of this guy, his parents' reputation just tanked
5AnonymousSep 8, 2026 21:51
Feels like he's headed for the same fate as Akira Shimizu's son (a notorious washed-up celebrity kid)
8AnonymousSep 8, 2026 21:53
Is money all he ever talks about? Do whatever you want, but it just comes off as greedy and cheap.
16AnonymousSep 8, 2026 21:55
A pure white Mercedes
A penthouse with a pool
The finest woman in bed, popping Dom Pérignon
17AnonymousSep 8, 2026 21:56
Total parenting fail, honestly

Re: #17
For a celebrity kid,
not turning into a criminal already counts as a huge success
18AnonymousSep 8, 2026 21:56
His parents already hit that goal ages ago
19AnonymousSep 8, 2026 21:56
Guess having parents like that turns you into this nouveau-riche mindset
20AnonymousSep 8, 2026 21:56
He's a company exec who's been all over TV and YouTube this much
and he still hasn't made it?
21AnonymousSep 8, 2026 21:56
He's probably got seed money and a safety net even if he screws up
he can just get more from his parents
so of course he's going to push it as far as it'll go
24AnonymousSep 8, 2026 21:57
Uh, this is a Yahoo News article… right?
26AnonymousSep 8, 2026 21:57
Wait, is his old man really that big of an actor to begin with?
75AnonymousSep 8, 2026 22:13
Re: #26
"Shin Jingi no Hakaba" (New Graveyard of Honor) is famous overseas too

Re: #26

He's the voice actor for Ta-chan (from the anime "Jungle Emperor Ta-chan")
and that anime's by the mentor of One Piece's creator
so technically Ranmaru outranks One Piece

His mom's probably already made around ¥1 billion just in royalties
29AnonymousSep 8, 2026 21:57
What he's saying is even more childish than expected
31AnonymousSep 8, 2026 21:58
Re: #1
This is exactly the kind of thing that's fine lol, it's refreshingly honest lol
Get a huge house, a pool, a pizza oven, and raise a retriever! That's the best lol
34AnonymousSep 8, 2026 22:00
Sounds like a cheap dream straight out of a Hamashō song (nickname for musician Shogo Hamada)
35AnonymousSep 8, 2026 22:00
By the way, his mom's probably sitting on ¥3 billion
Apparently she once had a piano imported from Europe worth tens of millions of yen, and Goro Kishitani was floored by the scale of her spending
36AnonymousSep 8, 2026 22:00
Kind of a small dream, isn't it
Not about social impact or innovation or anything like that
46AnonymousSep 8, 2026 22:03
Re: #36
It's less a small dream and more that his mindset is still stuck in elementary school
37AnonymousSep 8, 2026 22:00
Did he give up on that thing about running for Tokyo governor?
38AnonymousSep 8, 2026 22:00
I wonder how much Princess Princess has made in lifetime royalties
Probably well over ¥1 billion
146AnonymousSep 8, 2026 22:39
Re: #38
Still pulling in ¥50 million a year even now
39AnonymousSep 8, 2026 22:00
You forgot the part about popping Dom Pérignon in bed with the finest woman
40AnonymousSep 8, 2026 22:01
Someday I'm gonna
slam Big Money
down at his feet
41AnonymousSep 8, 2026 22:01
Still, this kid didn't have any friends even while studying abroad
42AnonymousSep 8, 2026 22:02
I'm done with this guy, hard pass just from the headline
116AnonymousSep 8, 2026 22:24
Re: #42
No need to come into the thread just to announce it, just quietly put him on your NG (block) list
43AnonymousSep 8, 2026 22:02
I see this guy and Allen on web shows all the time, but I have no idea what demographic is actually into them
45AnonymousSep 8, 2026 22:03
He seems to be in high demand everywhere, so he'll probably rake it in soon
If he doesn't blow it on nonsense, he could buy that huge house in no time
52AnonymousSep 8, 2026 22:06
Does that really need a billion? Lol
56AnonymousSep 8, 2026 22:07
Re: #52
Depends on the location, but in central Tokyo, a billion yen won't even cut it anymore
79AnonymousSep 8, 2026 22:15
Gō-suke (nickname for Goro Kishitani) and Puri-Puri (Princess Princess) don't have enough pull to force their son into the spotlight
He might've gotten his foot in the door because of them, but staying on TV for years after that is down to his own ability
107AnonymousSep 8, 2026 22:22
Re: #79
Isn't he probably signed with an agency like Amuse or something?
95AnonymousSep 8, 2026 22:19
If you're a company exec, quit messing around on TV and actually do your job. TV's the kind of work people take up when their own business isn't going well.
121AnonymousSep 8, 2026 22:26
Re: #95
There's no reason to quit being a TV personality when you get free publicity and get paid on top of it
Same with those "Minna de Ooyasan" (a real-estate investment scheme) guys — for some reason, being on TV just makes people trust you
130AnonymousSep 8, 2026 22:33
I made ¥2 billion in my 30s! Through gambling mahjong! But the guy who lost won't pay up, so now I'm in trouble lol
137AnonymousSep 8, 2026 22:36
Re: #130
Should've taken a hanging scroll as collateral for the debt — then you could've gone on "Nandemo Kanteidan" (Japan's antiques-appraisal TV show) with it

Background and Key Points of This Topic

Ranmaru Kishitani is a businessman and TV personality, the son of actor Goro Kishitani and Kaori Kishitani of Princess Princess. His actual day job is heading MMBH Inc., a company that supports students applying to universities abroad, and on Miki Fujimoto’s stream he said his main business brings in more revenue while also admitting he’s “earning way too much since appearing in the media.” What split opinion in the thread was how to take his stated goal — earning ¥1 billion for a house with a pool, pizza oven, and barbecue. Some reacted to the sheer size of the number, while others pointed out that his mother, Kaori Kishitani, is said to still earn around ¥50 million a year just from Princess Princess royalties, suggesting that compared to his parents’ wealth, he may have “already achieved it.” There were also comments giving him credit for his track record as a businessman, showing a different tone from simple criticism of a “nepo-baby celebrity.” Note that some replies referenced alleged political remarks by him, but since these could not be confirmed in the source article, they are not treated as fact here.

※This article is excerpted and summarized from the 5channel (Geinou/Sports News+) thread “Ranmaru Kishitani: “My goal for my 20s is to earn ¥1 billion,” “I want to buy a huge house and get these three things: a pool, a pizza oven, and a barbecue…”
