Issei Ishida dismissed for two-timing scandal

Actor Issei Ishida (34) has just been let go by his management agency, it was learned on Wednesday.

It was recently reported in the media that Ishida was guilty of dating two women at the same time. He had been romantically linked to actress Chiharu Kawai (35) since 2007, but it turns out that he was also carrying on a relationship with another woman, who was a childhood friend. In addition, that woman had become pregnant and subsequently had an abortion.

Before the scandal broke, Ishida had been in talks with his agency to renew his contract. After the news surfaced, he was put on indefinite suspension, but his agency ultimately decided at the end of January to cancel his contract.

When asked about his plans from now on, Ishida said that he is not sure yet. However, he also stated that he is not considering leaving show business.
