Sakai Noriko and her son remain missing as police find out her handphone was last switched on near Mount. Minobu in Yamanashi Prefecture in the evening of 4 August. It is believed that she may be in that area. Sakai resided in Yamanashi for a period of time when she was living with her father.
Meanwhile, it is also revealed that Sakai Noriko was actually near the scene where her husband Takasou Yuichi was arrested. She was seated in her family car, apparently waiting for Takasou when the police informed her of their find of drugs on him. Subsequently, she and her son were nowhere to be found.
On the other hand, Takasou has been exposed to have lied about his credentials as a professional surfer. According to the Japan Professional Surfing Association, they have been flooded by calls asking about Takasou's credentials. The JPSA has clarified that Takasou was never a member of their association, be it as a professional or amateur surfer. They are angry that Takasou has called himself a pro surfer despite not being registered with the JPSA. In addition, he has never taken part in any domestic surfing competitions. Although he may have taken part in such competitions overseas, it is strange because most surfers would start from domestic competitions to gain exposure. The JPSA is upset that this scandal has cast them in a bad light as well since Takasou has been calling himself a pro surfer as early as from 1998 despite the absence of a registered status with JPSA.
