The Tragic Fate Of The Man That Spent Billions On Dating Over 4000 Women

It should come as no surprise that relationships sometimes depend on finances. While it may sound unromantic, some prefer financial security to love. Usually, one partner is left at an advantage as the other becomes a sugar baby of sorts.

Recently, one wealthy man’s womanizing ways were ended in a mysterious way.

Kosuke Nozaki was born in 1940, believed to come from a wealthy back ground.  Over the years, Nozaki built his own fortune, primarily through his real estate and liquor businesses, giving him the ability to live a lavish lifestyle.

Part of this lifestyle included his romantic relationships, with Nozaki using his wealth to appeal to and date women. His behavior earned him the title of Don Juan of Kishu, with him alleging that he spent over 3 billion yen (around 1.9 million USD) on dating over 4,000 women in his 2016 autobiography.

His womanizing ways seemingly slowed after his marriage to Saki Sudo, a model and adult actress 55 years his junior. During their initial meeting, Kosuke reportedly gave her 1 million yen (around 6300 USD) and asked for her hand in marriage.

Thinking it was a joke, Sudo agreed on the condition that he provide her with 1 million yen each month as an allowance.

The two were officially married on February 8, 2018, but by the end of March that year, Nozaki had requested a divorce from the younger woman.

This divorce would never happen, however, as Nozaki died in May of that year. While the elderly man’s passing could have been from old age, investigations found that his cause of death was actually acute poisoning.

Sudo, whom Nozaki had dinner with prior to his death, was arrested on suspicions of murder in 2021 and during the trial details of the relationship between the two were revealed. The young woman openly admitted to being with him for money, and confessed that she had spent ¥55 million (348,843 USD) of the ¥68.34 million (433,453 USD) she transferred to her bank account following his death.

It was also revealed during the trial that Sudo had made online searches using phrases such as “elderly perfect crime,” “inheritance experts,” “stimulants dead” and “stimulants overdose.” Sudo claimed that Nozaki had asked her to purchase drugs, which she did via a dealer she found online, who later claimed in court to have sent “rock sugar.”

On December 12, 2024, Sudo was acquitted of all charges in the case despite the evidence provided.  It seems that there will always be a bit of mystery to what truly happened to the Don Juan of Kishu.
