Man reveals how he earned ₹6 lakh for giving 'emotional support' to 15 women

A 31-year-old Japanese man has been going viral for revealing his shocking profession through which he earned ₹6 lakh per month. Takuya Ikoma, works as a full-time "kept man" and is supported by up to 15 rich women. He thus receives about 1 million yen per month from them.
Now one must wonder what job he had to earn this kind of money each month? Well, Ikoma provides "emotional support" to his wealthy female clients which includes talking, eating and drinking with them. He also helps them with daily chores around the house such as cleaning, dog keeping and other acts of service.
For three hours of housework, Ikoma earned 160,000 yen which is 95,000 rupees. In 2019, he shared that he earned up to 1 million yen per month by working eight days and serving 15 clients.

While some might think that being a "kept-man" is probably the easiest job on the planet, Ikoma has completely opposite views. “Everyone thinks being a ‘kept man’ means having money and free time, but managing 15 affluent women at once can be enjoyable, yet it’s also incredibly tiring,” he said to the South China Morning Post.
A young woman told the Chinese media outlet that she paid Ikoma for emotional support without any serious relationship. For her dating is tiring and thus spending money feels easier.
For Ikoma, the profession, though tiring, works on his whims. Once, a rich woman offered him 1 million yen monthly for exclusive services. However, he refused it because of the diversity of clients he had as he wanted to stay open to everyone. Over time he has become even more choosy and now only prefers good-looking clients.
Well, Ikoma's journey began at 18 when he realised his ability to charm older, affluent women who treated him lavishly and even provided him with extra money to accompany them on shopping trips. It was then he made the decision to make being a 'kept-man' his full-time career.
While his earnings did suffer during the Covid-19 pandemic with his clients reducing from 15 to 7, he devised better ways of financial sustainability.
Since then he has launched his own Youtube channel where he shares his lifestyle and even has plans of introducing a "Kept Man Training Course" to share his talents among aspiring young men.
“I could never hold a traditional job; it’s simply impossible for me. Wealthy women are all talented and beautiful, and their voices are enchanting. I absolutely love being supported by them" he told the South China Morning Post.
