Whether the agency will change its name has been a topic of much discussion among fans, as several popular groups incorporate Johnny's into their name. One victim, Yasunobu Shiga, is strongly in favor of a name change due to the pain Kitagawa caused. "The name 'Johnny's' should not even exist given the extent of sexual abuse that occurred," Shiga said earlier. The probe also cited Fujishima's late mother, who was also Kitagawa's older sister, as a major factor in the long-term coverup of sexual abuse at the firm. A U.N. human rights delegation interviewed multiple alleged victims in Japan and released a statement in early August, urging the Japanese government to lead efforts to conduct a transparent investigation and support sex abuse victims.
