Japan's Fuji Media said on Monday that Chairman Shuji Kanoh and the head of its TV unit Koichi Minato would step down amidst a probe into alleged sexual misconduct at an event organised by one of its executives.

Fuji Media Holdings Inc. is embroiled in a scandal involving sexual misconduct allegations, leading to significant leadership changes. The company announced that Chairman Masaki Miyauchi and the head of its television division, representative director Hisashi Kuboyama, will resign. This decision follows accusations of sexual harassment by a former female employee against a male colleague, which were not adequately addressed by the company. The allegations surfaced after the woman, who had worked at Fuji Television Network Inc. for 17 years, left the company in 2022. The issue came to light when she shared her experiences on social media, prompting an internal investigation by Fuji Media. The company has acknowledged the need for a thorough review of its workplace environment and governance, with the resignations set to take effect by the end of June.
