As part of the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists’ (ICIJ) investigation into the Paradise Papers, the organization found information last week on Dragon Ball manga creator Akira Toriyama’s offshore investments.
According to Asahi Shimbun’s report based on litigation documents, the company used loans and capital to purchase used apartments.
The company’s accounting methods “were later found to be noncompliant with federal regulations.”
The project is a global investigation into offshore activities of some of the world’s richest and most powerful people and companies.
