Person
In June 2019, he sent Kim Kardashian of the United States a letter of protest attempt to trademark the name "KIMONO" for her new underwear line. In the letter he said "It is a common asset of all people who love the culture of the Japanese and the Japanese and the world," and I believe that it should not be monopolized privately.[3]"
