A Japanese man who has embraced the role of a full-time kept man for years, financially supported by as many as 15 wealthy women at one time, has garnered significant attention online due to his unique lifestyle, which allowed him to earn as much as 1 million yen (US$7,000) each month.

The man, identified as Takuya Ikoma, 31, went viral after sharing his personal experiences on his YouTube channel, which boasts around 3,000 followers.
He stated: “Everyone thinks being a ‘kept man’ means having money and free time, but managing 15 affluent women at once can be enjoyable, yet it’s also incredibly tiring.”
For instance, his videos demonstrate that before meeting wealthy clients, he took great care to present himself impeccably. This included applying make-up, grooming his hair, and selecting appropriate attire.
At the homes of his clients, he engaged in a variety of activities, such as dining and drinking with them, engaging in conversation, providing emotional support, and fulfilling his role as a “housekeeper”.
