Good evening.

Thank you for your question! Even though you’re working hard on yourself and keeping up with the Q&A box, our seniors are pretty tough, haha! That’s love for you. You mean Yuto, the papa-katsu producer, right? Of course, I’ve met him before, and he’s one of the people I truly respect. He gives accurate advice to women who are considering papa-katsu but aren’t sure which path to take. As a result, they get hints that help them find an option they’re comfortable with, while Yuto is also able to make it work as a profession. So I believe it’s a respectable line of work. Apparently, many of the women who consult Yuto say things like, “Universe is well-known, but I’m hesitant to join because the representative’s comments come across as unpleasant.” I’m sorry about that. But in situations like that, I don’t think Yuto would push Universe on them. He would probably recommend another dating club or app that better suits them. I’m writing all of this based on my assumptions, but the fact that he’s been active for several years under the title of papa-katsu producer means he certainly isn’t doing anything scam-like or low-class, such as taking advantage of women. I highly recommend him.

I believe that person makes money as a YouTuber, not as a papa-katsu producer. In a broad sense, the role of a papa-katsu producer is essentially carried out by recruiters. The best way to find out what people in that line of work actually do is to ask one directly. Try sending a recruiter a DM on Twitter, or, if you’re an attractive woman, go to a nightlife district and speak with one.

It looks like your question has already been answered, so let me offer a different perspective. Studying is important, but try not to become too book-smart. Digest the information in your own way and establish your own guidelines for how you approach papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan). haha Not all the information and materials out there are accurate. Analyze them carefully and take only the information that’s valid and useful.

You’re talking about Universe’s anonymous papa-katsu Q&A board. Questioner, it isn’t the Universe Club bulletin board—it’s a question box. Why do so many people call it a bulletin board? Please read the words properly. “I’m thinking of joining…” It’s not open to just anyone. Ordinary women can join, but men can’t register pretending to be women. Oh, and your question… A papa-katsu producer? Rather than listening to someone like that, I think you’ll get a more accurate answer by hearing real people’s experiences here.

Lately, I’ve started to feel like the same person is writing questions every day while pretending to be someone else. Because questions this pointless keep getting posted, are people with genuine questions gradually giving up on posting them? Do we really need questions like, “Does a profession called ○○ even exist?” posted here in the first place? That’s what I’m wondering. If that’s what you want to talk about, please take it to another message board. This isn’t a chat section, so I’d honestly like to hide posts like that. As for whether a profession exists or not, I don’t think the law has any specific regulations regarding job titles. So I suppose it’s basically a matter of calling yourself whatever you want. That said, whether other people recognize it as a legitimate profession probably depends on how widely that person’s activities have spread. Come to think of it, someone calling themselves a papa-katsu producer once asked me: “Does Universe properly teach its male members about relationship clubs? At the time they join, and afterward as well…” Since they only explain the bare minimum rules, I did feel that he had a point. We really should be properly teaching men how to conduct themselves. Maybe the reason so many men now seem to think, “It’s a free relationship—what’s wrong with it?” is that even the industry’s biggest name, Universe, doesn’t properly teach men how to behave. It’s unfortunate. > Also, what exactly do you do? I think the title “papa-katsu producer” was created by scouts who were trying to figure out how to attract more women, thinking that more women would come if they called themselves papa-katsu producers. So basically, I assume they’re doing scouting. Of course, there are many different kinds of scouts. Some introduce a woman to a venue, collect their money, and consider the job finished. Others treat the women as valuable because they bring in money from the venue. They look after them, properly listen to their concerns, offer advice when they’re having trouble, and help them figure out what to do when they’re unsure. I suspect that people who call themselves papa-katsu producers fall into the latter category. That said, I think they’re still fundamentally people who earn money by introducing women to venues. I don’t know about this particular person, but generally speaking, adult entertainment venues pay the most for introductions. So the ultimate goal is probably to refer women to those venues. However, if you suddenly suggest that to an ordinary woman with no experience, she’ll likely refuse. So they might start with something like: “Interested in papa-katsu? I can introduce you to a good place.” Even if the referral fee isn’t very high. Then, if the woman says she isn’t getting many offers and wants to earn more money, they might move on to: “What about working at a hostess club? Would that be okay? Since it’s a proper venue, you could earn around ○○万円 a month if you work hard. Want me to introduce you?” And if she still wants to earn more, they eventually refer her to a more adult-oriented venue to make money. That’s probably the general pattern.

You mean someone named Yuto, right? I heard he writes columns on Cinderella while pretending to be a woman. I don’t know whether it’s true, but apparently the registered email address matches. If it is true, what would he gain from it? If he’s only after a Starbucks gift card worth a few thousand yen, that’s pretty petty. Just something to kill time? Also, I provide a group LINE chat where papa-katsu girls can exchange information. Since you can identify individuals from their LINE profile pictures, if you have a friendly papa-katsu girl join the group, you can see exactly what they’re talking about—as long as the specific girl happens to be in the same group chat. There are several group chats, so it only works if they happen to be in the same one. ↑ This information is from a little while ago, so I don’t know if it’s still the case. P.S. Wait, could this actually be promotion by the person himself? No way, right? ^^;

I searched around, and it looks like there’s basically only one person who comes up. Is this the right one? lol It looks like this person runs an online community, and maybe also introduces women to clubs to earn affiliate income. In other words, they’re probably a type of scout. There are quite a few scouts, I think. But there may not be many who specialize exclusively in papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan). For scouts, it becomes a business of figuring out how to make use of the “asset” they’ve recruited. Even if papa-katsu is their main focus, I imagine they secure a wide range of options for where things can lead, such as cabaret clubs, adult entertainment, or AV. I’ve never really felt that women introduced through scouts were particularly well-trained or especially good at handling things. However, they’re often told that the allowance is supposed to be above market rate, so they tend to negotiate aggressively. Since it’s often a matter of whoever names a price first winning, the woman would be happy if it works out—but it also feels a little risky. A woman I met at Universe before had been introduced through a scout, and she told me all kinds of interesting details. Things didn’t develop into an adult relationship (intimate), but I happened to discover the other day that she later made her AV debut, which brought up a lot of mixed feelings. lol Taro
