After reporting a high-profile journalist for sexual assault, Ito was championed and vilified. She relives that night and the aftermath in her documentary Black Box Diaries
in April 2015, she was hoping for advice on her fledgling career as a journalist and, perhaps, a recommendation for a job. Yamaguchi, the former Washington bureau chief of Tokyo Broadcasting System, a respected TV network, was well connected. He had written a favourable biography of the prime minister at the time, Shinzo Abe, whom he counted as a friend.
As she prepared to leave for the UK, where the film will be released on 25 October, Ito had still not found a Japanese distributor. “We are having difficulties,” she says. “It’s not a big surprise, but it’s unfortunate. But we’re trying our best to find a way.
Ito has successfully sued one of her tormentors. In 2022, Mio Sugita, a conservative lower house member from the ruling Liberal Democratic party, was ordered to pay Ito ¥550,000 for “liking” 25 tweets that slandered Ito, including one that accused her of attempting to sleep her way into a job.
