The man who
lived the "dream" of many (and the accounting nightmare of others)
has suddenly woken up in a very cold reality. Ryuta Watanabe, the
famous content creator from Hokkaido, faces a brutal financial collapse
from Ryuta Watanabe that has crumbled his family utopia. After showing
off her life with four simultaneous partners on social media, the money ran
out, tensions exploded and her harem has almost completely dissolved.
Watanabe,
who gained notoriety for his eccentric goal of having 53 children to
"combat Japan's population decline," confessed that his situation is
critical. From making millions as an influencer, he went on to have just 110,000
yen (about $700) in the bank, forcing his family to clamp down after
an emergency meeting late last year.
Details
of Ryuta Watanabe's financial collapse and the exodus of his wives
What seemed
like a life of Harem anime turned into a survival drama. As Ryuta himself
explained, the lack of income and lifestyle differences made coexistence
unsustainable. The final toll of this crisis is devastating:
- Abandonment: Wife 1 and wife 3 decided
to leave and return to their parents' home, taking their four children
with them.
- Those who remain: Only wife 2 (who has no
children) remains by his side. Wife 4 lives apart, although
technically they are still together.
- Living on the edge: The crisis was such that Ryuta had to live several days in his car enduring the sub-zero temperatures of winter in Hokkaido.
The
brazenness of "Chapter 2"
Far from
looking for a normal 9-to-5 job to recover, Ryuta has decided to double down.
He announced that he does not plan to abandon his lifestyle and is already
planning "Chapter 2" of his polygamy. Their solution? Open auditions
for new wives who want to join him, even though he literally has
nowhere to drop dead.
