TOKYO —

Television personality Tokoro George made an appearance in Tokyo for Asahi TV’s home reform program, “Daikaizo!! Gekiteki Before-After Season 11” (Ultimate Reform - Dramatic Before & After Season 11). The program, which begins April 26 and will air every Sunday at 7:58 p.m., features regular homes in dire need of fixing up that are reformed by top-class architects and craftsmen.

When asked about his ex-manager, who embezzled around 50 million yen from the actor last July, Tokoro was upbeat, commenting, “It’s really nothing to me. I tend to focus on the good things in life… and wouldn’t have remembered if someone hadn’t mentioned it.” He joked, “That’s pocket change!”

    Just read an article where Isiah Thomas stated " in the sports and entertainment business its like climbing a mountain, feels great at the top, but at some point you must come down." Good old Georgy will be missing that 50 mil once the descent begins.

    This guy is amazing. Not only a TV personality/singer/entertainer, but also an importer, entrepreneur, publisher, and a generally interesting guy.
