He was, and is, the owner of Kiyomura Corporation, which runs the Sushi Zanmai chain across Japan. In Tokyo he is known as the Tuna King, because every January he buys the most expensive fish at the first auction of the year at the central market.

J-savior complex. A LOT of Japanese tv is just J-savior reality shows. "Look at this civilized Japanese man teach those savages basic skills" and "Look at these tourists [savages] marvel at basic amenities in Japan" are both entire genres of reality tv here.
