Yamagata Education Board announced on October 17 that it had suspended a foreign assistant language teacher for six months for taking photos up girls' skirts in Tokyo.
The unnamed man in his thirties works at high schools in the prefecture.
The teacher is accused of using his phone to take pics up women's skirts on escalators in Tokyo Station and a mall on a trip to the capital last month. At the mall, another woman realized and alerted a security guard, who was able to apprehend the foreign and call police.
He was taken for questioning by Tokyo police, who then told his workplace.

A young Chilean woman recently provoked a lot of ire in Japan when she posted a video of herself doing pull-ups on the gate of a Shinto shrine.
The influencer Marimar Pérez-Banus subsequently issued an apology and deleted the video, but we will probably not get the same from another young lady who posed semi-naked at a popular tourist attraction in Japan.
As netizens have discovered, there are actually lots of pics of foreigners doing silly things at places like Fushimi Inari, a Shinto shrine in Kyoto famous for its vast numbers of red torii gates that form labyrinthine corridors.
Here is ...
A love hotel in Ikebukuro has partnered with a Chinese restaurant, with the result that the ground floor has an eatery and then accommodation for couples on the floors above.
The novel combo has attracted attention from netizens, both Japanese and foreign.
It makes sense, in some ways, since Ikebukuro is known for its population of Chinese migrants. Apparently, the whole building now has a Chinese owner, who decided to rent out the first floor.
Montana Hotel, which offers 70-minute stays for as little as ¥2,200, is located on the north side of the station area, which is home to several ...
With all the negative news about hosts right now (especially related to the way that the clubs leave clients in debt and some even force vulnerable women into prostitution), the industry needs some good news. But this might still be bad news for the flamboyant guys.
How come? Because it seems that some of the most popular hosts right now are actually women.
No, they're not hostesses. They're women dressed up as hosts.
According to an article in Weekly Gendai, Nia Amatsuka (天使ニア) is leading the trend.
As a woman (and as a lesbian), she understands her female clients better -- and ...
Once again, Tokyo Kinky's team was sadly prevented from attending in person due to unavoidable schedule clashes, but the 26th edition of Japan's largest fetish event, FetiFes, took place on September 15.
The biannual event features vendors, talks, and performances by various kinds of idols and fetish artists, from newbies to industry veterans.

Back in May, we reported on the shocking arrest of the incredibly popular Japanese OnlyFans adult creator Naomiii.
The performer was likely a victim of her own success, which got her noticed by authorities and who found a way to nab her on obscenity charges.
The 32-year-old adored by millions for her sensually curvy body and perfectly shaped labia was arrested with Nobutoshi Kiri, who helped make her videos and upload them.
The "amateur" porn (shot in 4K) the pair made was actually very high quality but the uncensored content was what attracted police attention.
Most people reacted with ...
Top model and actress Haruka Ayase is reportedly dating a much younger male singer and actor.
According to tabloid reports, Ayase (39) is in a relationship with Jesse Lewis (28), who, despite the name, is a Japanese singer with the group SixTones.
The pair reportedly visited Las Vegas together this month. Lewis's father is from Las Vegas and the tabloids have interpreted this as meaning he took Ayase "home" to introduce her to his parents.
News about the relationship has had a mixed reaction from the public, some of whom are surprised at the age gap. However, we rarely blink twice if a male ...
When we look back to those first generations of AKB48 in the late 2000s, it almost seems like carefree halcyon days when the nastiness of Japan's idol industry -- which we all knew was there -- was not the dominant talking point in the discourse, and everywhere we went we saw ads featuring the young ladies from the Akihabara supergroup.
Most of the members are now long gone from our lives, both those from the first "generation" and subsequent ones, with perhaps just a couple -- Atsuko Maeda and Yuko Oshima -- succeeding at establishing real acting careers.
We always had a soft spot for slinky ...

According to a police statement reported in the media on Wednesday and Thursday, Muhammad Afzal groped the girl's chest and took her underwear off.
When the train reached Takao, where it terminated, Afzal allegedly took the girl's bag and then forcibly carried her to a ...
A survey has found that the number of high school students who have never kissed someone had increased.
The numbers of high schoolers with experience of kissing or sex is now around half of what it was in the early 2000s.
The Japanese Association for Sex Education's survey, which it carries out diligently every six years, investigates frequency of physical intimacy among high school students. The data sample was 12,562 students, including 4,321 high schoolers and 3,614 university students.
Only 22.8% of male high school students (roughly one in five) said they had kissed someone, which is ...
