Japanese television presenter Masahiro Nakai, who is currently embroiled in a sexual assault scandal, announced on Thursday that he was retiring from the entertainment industry.
The former member of the boy band SMAP was accused of sexual misconduct by a woman last year, which was then followed by news of a ¥90m (£471,960) out-of-court settlement, all reported by weekly magazines Josei Seven and Shukan Bunshun.
