On the same day, Yoshimoto Kogyo announced the cancellation of the contract of Plus Minus’ Yoshimasa Iwahashi (45). Namba Grand Kagetsu’s website states, “Plus Minus, who was scheduled to perform at Namba Grand Kagetsu, has been canceled due to the cancellation of Iwahashi’s management contract,” and “Additional performers will be announced as soon as they are decided.” We will make announcements in due course.”
He continued, “We apologize for any inconvenience caused to everyone who was looking forward to it. We appreciate your understanding.” The substitute performer will be announced on the same website as soon as it is decided.
Iwahashi is from Osaka Prefecture. A member of the 25th class of NSC Osaka School in 2002, he formed the comedy duo Plus Minus with Takashi Kanemitsu in June 2003. Recently, various “accusatory posts” have continued, and yesterday on the 21st, through his own X, “I live freely,” “Kanemitsu is sorry, thank you,” “Yoshimoto quits being a comedian. Thank you for his hard work,” etc. It was spelled out in consecutive sentences.
On the same day, Yoshimoto Kogyo’s website stated, “We would like to inform you that we have canceled the management contract with Plus Minus Yoshimasa Iwahashi as of February 22, 2024.” Iwahashi was found to have made inappropriate postings and distributions on SNS such as X (formerly Twitter) that defamed the reputation of those involved, so as a management company, we repeatedly conducted interviews and provided cautionary guidance. I have done so.”
The company continued, “We had a meeting with Iwahashi on February 21st, but immediately following that, he posted something that was contrary to our warnings and requests, so we determined that it would be difficult to maintain the management contract any further. Therefore, I had no choice but to notify them of the cancellation of the contract.”
