The story
Jun’ichi Kawamoto of the comedy duo Jicho Kacho was rushed to the hospital on the 25th and abruptly pulled out of a scheduled stage performance, Akashiya Sanma revealed late on the 26th during MBS Radio’s “Young Town Saturday.” Sanma described the illness only vaguely, as “something with the pancreas or kidneys,” with no confirmed diagnosis or details on his condition released by Kawamoto himself or his agency. On 5ch, threads showed a mix of concern for his health and cooler, more cynical reactions tied to the 2012 scandal over his mother’s fraudulent welfare claims — sympathy and harsh judgment intertwined.

What is this?
If you drink this stuff you'll live longer or something?
Maybe he should just chug it himself?
Drink this and you're cured! Great, problem solved
That's cheap.
Wonder how much Kawamoto actually gets per bottle sold.
You can chain-smoke like an idiot and still not die from it, but with alcohol you can buy a lethal dose at the convenience store.
being a comedian must come with brutal stress.
"If you can get it, might as well take it."
Guess now he's "gotten" himself a disease too, huh.
Isn't 'it's stress' a ridiculously lazy diagnosis? Anyone can blame stress, you don't need to be a doctor for that.
I've got diverticula too, and I always feel rough around this time in early autumn.
Miyasako showing up was a shock though.
Meanwhile Kajiwara's doing the same kind of thing and raking it in.
In Japan, whoever apologizes loses. Same with the penny-auction scandal — Komori apologized and got erased, while Kumada survived.
Well, Komori's apology was a half-assed, kind of pissed-off one.
Actually the reason he disappeared wasn't the penny-auction thing but Yaguchi's affair scandal.
Either way, only the ones who didn't just ignore it ended up getting piled on.
Maybe he just pushed himself too hard trying to keep up with her, lol.
Once you're past 40 you're stuck living with a mentality that's still needlessly young trapped in an old man's body.
Fasting blood sugar around 180 or something.
I mean, his pancreas is shot, so of course.
He's probably getting treated for diabetes too, right?
Background and Key Points of This Discussion
Jun’ichi Kawamoto’s mother was found to have fraudulently received welfare benefits in 2012, an incident that forced him to temporarily suspend his activities at the time — and many of the replies in this thread brought that history back up. That said, what Sanma shared this time was only a guess at the diagnosis, not an official statement from Kawamoto or his agency. The very phrasing “pancreas or kidneys” suggests Sanma himself may not have the full details, so it would be premature to treat it as confirmed information. Rather than focusing on his actual condition, the thread tended to center on judgments of Kawamoto as a person shaped by the past scandal, with sympathetic voices and more distant, skeptical ones coexisting side by side.
