He received $7,000 a month: a man was "supported" by 15 rich women (3 photos)

Japanese Takuya Ikoma became famous thanks to an unusual career. The man earned up to 1 million yen a month, providing emotional and household support to fifteen wealthy women at a time.





In Japan, 31-year-old Takuya Ikoma attracted public attention thanks to his unusual lifestyle. For several years, he professionally provided personal and household services to fifteen wealthy women, essentially becoming a man living at the expense of women, but at the same time actively working for their comfort.

Unlike the stereotypical image of kept women, Ikoma did not just receive money for his company, because he looked after the clients, cleaned their houses, cooked, walked dogs, spent evenings with them, supported them emotionally and played the role of a "housewife". The man spent a lot of time on his appearance: he applied makeup, did his hair, carefully selected outfits to look decent next to rich ladies.

"Everyone thinks that being a kept man is relaxation, money and ease. But in reality, it is a job that requires a lot of energy. Managing fifteen women at the same time is, to put it mildly, not easy," Ikoma shares.



At the peak of his "career," he earned up to 1 million yen a month (about $7,000), servicing clients only eight days a month. One of his "home visits" lasted three hours and earned him 160,000 yen (about $1,100).

As his popularity grew, he began to select clients more carefully, focusing not only on their income but also on their appearance. According to him, a woman once offered him a million yen a month for exclusive services, but he refused.

"I don't want to limit myself to one client. It's important for me to remain accessible to everyone," he said.

Ikoma began his "career path" at the age of 18, when he realized that he was capable of charming wealthy older women. They spoiled him with attention, expensive gifts, and paid for accompanying him to events. Later, he decided to devote himself entirely to this atypical activity.

However, during the COVID-19 pandemic, his client base sharply decreased from 15 to seven people. This forced him to reconsider his income strategies - he created a YouTube channel where he began sharing his life stories and thoughts on the role of a "kept man." He also announced plans to launch a training course for those who want to follow in his footsteps.

"I am not cut out for a traditional office job. All my clients are smart, beautiful and charismatic women, and I really enjoy giving them joy," Ikoma added.
