## Summary

This video features an interview with Hiroshi, the son of Ryuho Okawa, founder of the Japanese cult Happy Science. Hiroshi recounts his upbringing within the cult, including a strict, isolated education, forced activities, and psychological manipulation. He details the cult's deceptive practices, financial exploitation, and his eventual escape, offering a rare insider perspective on the dangers of cult involvement.

### Key Points

- **Strict Daily Schedule** [05:21] — Hiroshi's entire day was scheduled from 8 AM to 9 PM, including math, English, piano, and other activities. He was not allowed to attend kindergarten or socialize with peers.

- **Spirit Summoning and Deception** [11:20] — Happy Science practices 'spirit summoning,' where a leader claims to channel spirits like Jesus Christ. This is used to manipulate believers and extract money.
- **Tax Avoidance and Business Networking** [12:31] — Some members join to avoid taxes by registering as a religious corporation, and the cult serves as a networking hub for business owners.

- **Forced Marriage Arrangement** [25:06] — Ryuho arranged a marriage between Hiroshi and actress Shimizu Fumika without Hiroshi's consent, aiming for publicity. Hiroshi refused, leading to his expulsion.
- **Legal Battle After Leaving** [26:34] — After leaving, Hiroshi was sued for 220 million yen by the cult, which also denied his departure publicly.
- **Fraudulent Healing Prayers** [27:19] — The cult sold prayers for ailments like hay fever (10,000 yen) and COVID-19 (30,000 yen), and a 'prayer to eradicate' for 500,000 yen, which were ineffective.
- **Ryuho's Goal: World King** [30:35] — Ryuho aspired to become 'World Teacher' and eventually 'king of the world,' using the religion as a business and political stepping stone.
- **Belief in Alien Origins** [31:32] — Ryuho taught that humans originated from aliens in UFOs, and discussed Reptilians and other beings.
- **Final Advice: Make Your Own Decisions** [37:46] — Hiroshi warns that people who cannot make their own decisions are vulnerable to cults. He emphasizes the importance of independent judgment.

### Conclusion

Hiroshi's story reveals the psychological manipulation, financial exploitation, and violence within Happy Science. His final message is a powerful warning: maintaining independent decision-making is crucial to avoid falling into cults.

first said that he heard the voice of God from heaven, and he first wrote a book about it, which sold to some extent, and from there it grew into a religious corporation, Kaku. For
this video, I bought Hishi's book, and in it, I bought Hishi's book, and in it,
from Hishi's perspective, there were all sorts of creepy, or rather, I don't know how to express it, but really suspicious, non-ordinary experiences, but the members of the cult are  What was your daily life like? Well, it was a
your daily life like? Well, it was a period of competition. It was decided from the moment you were born that you would be in a competitive environment. So, 24 hours a day, 300 days a year, your entire 24 hours a day, 300 days a year, your entire schedule was set. From 8 to 9 am, you studied math, from
9 to 10 am, you studied English, from 10 to 11 pm, you practiced piano until around 9 pm. This schedule was posted on the wall outside, and you just had to keep going according to that set schedule. This
that set schedule. This 999% of children go to kindergarten, but I wasn't allowed to go to kindergarten. Kindergarten is a place where people of a certain level gather, so you had to be
educated as a competitive child during that period. Where the concept of homeschooling is known is not a common practice in Japan. It is practically unknown with the existence of Little to No Research done on the psychological effects of
homeschooling children in modern days.  Of course, law, all children are required to attend
school form for at least 10 years, although that is against the law, so your children do not go to kindergarten here in Japan. The practice is definitely uncommon, especially when you look at the context of today's video where the subject is defined. It is a very unique situation that most children in Japan have never experienced in their lives. I think there were about 10 things, like piano, kendo, tennis, singing, and crafts, drawing and making things, gymnastics, and conversation. There were also cram schools for elementary school entrance exams where they learned manners and etiquette, and things like that, and also things like that
done by genius kindergarten engineers. So, there were about 10 things, I guess. Yes, I did those things, and my father told me to do them, so it was kind of forced upon me. I did n't have the right to decide, so... Yes, what were your feelings when you first went to elementary school?
What was it like? Well, first of all, I hardly ever had conversations with kids my age. watching popular anime and stuff, and they'd talk about it, like "I
watched Pokémon yesterday," but TV, games, and manga were all forbidden. I figured those things wouldn't TV, games, and manga were all forbidden. I figured those things wouldn't n't understand anything they were talking about and couldn't join in. Making friends was
really hard. So you just went straight through elementary school. What was middle and high school like? My main goal was to went straight through elementary school. What was middle and high school like? My main goal was to
school with the highest academic ranking in Japan, and to go to the Faculty of Law. Ryuho graduated from the to the Faculty of Law. Ryuho graduated from the Faculty of Law at the University of Tokyo, and I was told to go to the same place. To get in, I was told to go
fourth grade of elementary school, I started going to cram school seriously to study for the entrance exams, once a week.  。 English: After taking the test, depending on the result, it was like, "If things continue like this, you won't pass the exam," so in the third year, it was pretty much all we did was study for the entrance exam. Back then, I had the
mentioned earlier, manga, anime, and games were all forbidden. Also, the school and other places drove students to and from school, so most people walked, or took the train or bus. When everyone was about
10 years old, they were all pretty smart, so they all kind of started to realize that there was something strange about the Ookawa family. The word would spread at pretty smart, so they all kind of started to realize that there was something strange about the Ookawa family. The word would spread at mothers would say things like, "That Ookawa family is apparently involved with a cult religion, it's scary, we have to make sure we don't get involved," and my friends would say things like, "Yeah, my
cult religion, it's scary, we have to make sure we don't get involved," and my friends would say things like, "Yeah, my gradually people started to distance themselves from us. Knowing that situation, people started to distance themselves from us. Knowing that situation, Hisan didn't really talk to Ryu about it, like, "What's our family like?" She couldn't.  To
Hisan didn't really talk to Ryu about it, like, "What's our family like?" She couldn't.  To begin with, I was told not to speak to Ryu, and even though he is my son, I only get to see him about
three times a day, and we only eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner together, so there's some kind of rule about when we eat, but my education secretary tells me not to say a word, and if I education secretary tells me not to say a word, and if I
secretary will say that my education is inadequate and I'll be penalized, so it's strict, so I'm told not to say a word and not to make eye contact, but even so Ryu asks me questions, like Hiroshi, how's school lately, so I have to answer, so I give some kind of
answer, so I give some kind of answer that's not too close to the truth, but if I say something like, "Well, I haven't been doing very well with math lately," then my education secretary will call me in later and ask what I've been saying, so that's how it is
think he knew that I was being beaten, ah, me  I couldn't say it either, so when I did, she retaliated stomach or my thighs or other places where you can't see. Ah, yes, the evidence. If she did it on my face, it would be
evidence. If she did it on my face, it would be exposed. Yes, yes, that's fine, it's the most
obvious mark, or rather, it's just awful. She's known for her unique, ritualistic actions, isn't she? Happy Science has one of the most famous ritualistic actions, which is called a " spirit summoning." She summons a spirit, and that spirit possesses the person and speaks into their body. When analyzed psychiatrically, this corresponds to a symptom called schizophrenia. It's like
another personality sprouting inside you. She uses this symptom of schizophrenia as an example, saying that it's the voice of God.
but she says it's the voice of God.  They talk and take money for it, and talk and take money for it, and basically what do they say to deceive the believers? To put it simply, it's this: For example, if the dragon
says that the spirit of Jesus Christ has descended upon it, it will act like Jesus Christ and say things like "Ah, Jesus Christ," and use famous historical quotes like "If someone hits you on the right, let them hit you on the left," and do this hit you on the left," and do this
believers then really believe that Jesus Christ has possessed them and worship them. Yes, there are people who believe. Were there any teachers who didn't
believe? Yes, there are people who don't believe. Some people who don't want to pay taxes donate to this religion and register as a religious corporation to avoid paying taxes. And when you're in that religious community, there are other company
presidents who think the same way, so these presidents meet each other and it becomes a place for business matching. It's a bit suspicious, isn't it? As I mentioned earlier, it's a break from Happy Science.  I
bought that book written by Hishi-san, and to be more specific, it said that you felt there was and to be more specific, it said that you felt there was inconsistency regarding the past, or rather, the spiritual messages. What does inconsistency regarding the past, or rather, the spiritual messages. What does
reincarnation, and there is a competition like that, and humans have an eternal soul and are reborn many times, and you are a you are a famous historical figure in Japan, and in the past you
said you were Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and there was a politician that Ryu liked quite a bit, and about 30 years later a young female employee in her 20s came in, and Mariho took a young female employee in her 20s came in, and Mariho took a
you are sure to be promoted," but the Wait a minute, Ryu-sensei, you said that Toyotomi Hideyoshi was a politician so-and-so in the past, right? It's the same, what do you do?" And when they said that,
Ryu-sensei, you said that Toyotomi Hideyoshi was a politician so-and-so in the past, right? It's the same, what do you do?" And when they said that, self-declaration, so he just claimed it himself, so it's like, "This is the real one," no, no, no, that's a bit too much of a
bit too much of a downplay, but the setting was so loose that there was one inconsistency in the spiritual messages, but the manga artist Mizuki-sensei, he's involved in both, is n't he? Mizuki-sensei did it, and it's a famous horror manga,
so, but Mizuki-sensei, as those who know him know, he doesn't have a left hand, that's right, that's right, he lost it in the war, so why is he like this? It's something that doesn't add up at
all to anyone's eye, yet there were so many people who believed it, and I find that really baffling. For them, it didn't matter whether it was really true or not, they just had some kind of anxiety, a
wanted something to give them strength in life. In the teachings of Happy Science, there is a teaching called the theory of progress, but what that is is, well, it's basically about taking everything that both sides say.  。 English: Just accept it, and make your way of thinking and values ​​exactly the same as both sides, and I'm
same as both sides, and I'm pointing the way and pushing forward without thinking, and of course if you do pointing the way and pushing forward without thinking, and of course if you do but have there been any instances in the past where Ryu has acted on his own arbitrary ideas and pursued evil? In the past there was an
ideas and pursued evil? In the past there was an weekly magazine, and the weekly magazine was just a gossip story, saying that weekly magazine was just a gossip story, saying that both of them were wearing very expensive watches and
Kiki's gold outfit was very extravagant, and Ryu got angry about that and sent his followers to attack them, and this was in 1991, and they were sending faxes all over the place to make it so that they couldn't work, and they
work, and they crush the group, and there were injured people and stuff, so it was a pretty serious incident, wasn't it? It was a pretty serious incident Yes, there is that, but also, um, I saw something that said there was some kind of
Yes, there is that, but also, um, I saw something that said there was some kind of rivalry or something, I don't know what to say, but there was some kind of connection in the past,
started in 1987 by its founder ASOKOITS system that combined elements of Indian Buddhism, Bettan Buddhism, and Hinduism but then later to adopt more doomsday beliefs with The Heavy
nostradamus in 1999 directly attacks and acts of domestic terrorism cult released Deadly Saren GAS on the Tokyo
bystanders It was believed that Tatosahara Control and planned the attacks out as a toward a society that  He accepted his beliefs and Unlimited Power. He later tried and sent a message to Death in 2018 effectively ending the cult. Once and for all, however many
Under. They wanted to crush them and bring the believers here to their side, so Om also had a ship return and they fought fiercely, and there was an assassination order like Sharis, and it was like, " Kill so-and-so," and it just so happened that the previous
assassination hadn't gone well, but as a member of the family as the son of the dragon, he was still being targeted, or rather, he was being
so. The car was basically a bulletproof car, a car that bullets couldn't get through. So even if they were shot at, they could basically a bulletproof car, a car that bullets couldn't get through. So even if they were shot at, they could then, for the lecture at Tokyo Dome, they
entered the venue through the back entrance, but when they got close they were told to take cover.  He close they were told to take cover.  He pushed the secretary-like person in charge of education and it was like, "Wow, that's really scary," and he was sulking. Well, there was that kind of
lighter rivalry, and we were both really into ACT recrmoremers SetOUT toate their own
SetOUT toate their own which essentially glorified The Very corrupt teachings of ITS leader as Shoko into making people believe that they was some kind of Jesus Christ reincarnate and that by following HIS beliefs and teachings you would be saved from the End of the World The anime actually ended up becoming a series with 10 full episodes being created and in Shocking Twistis
my anime List with a Score of 4.9 out of 10 disturbing thing out of all of this of course With The eventual many years later today ItisseenmoreasaNOV
considered one of the most dangerous and powerful Japanese competitions, which is a bit difficult to film in live action, because it involves ghosts and things like heaven and hell, so it would be quite
expensive to make in live action. I've also seen a few anime made by the Om Psychological Society and Happy Science, and there was this strange rival ship, like Nintendo in the old days, and it
Ryu was asked if he wanted to make a movie, and he movies and anime would be easier for everyone to get into, so he asked him to make an anime that would appeal to young people, that was the gist of it,
people, there were only grandpas and grandmas, so to put it simply, the teachings of the Science of Aviation are an organization that helps both sides achieve what they want to do, so Honestly, I feel like it's not really useful to society, so if I bring people there, it's just a
waste of time, and if it's a religion, then I think it should be a proper social contribution activity, but they activity, but they
said that they've been doing that for 30 years so they can't buy it anymore, so I good." As it says in the title of this video, Hiroshi used to be in a religion, but I think it was in 2013 that he left the religion once, so what was his
religion once, so what was his script was all done, the casting was done and it was about to start
suddenly started saying that Hiroshi had a demon attached to him and told him to get started saying that Hiroshi had a demon attached to him and told him to get out of the movie, and he was suddenly removed from the movie project for no particular reason, and he was the
vice principal of some aviation school or something, I don't really know  I was given the job, and I thought, " Well, it's not at all what I want to do," and honestly, there was no work at all, so I said I would quit. Then I became a company employee and worked for about three years. I
Then I became a company employee and worked for about three years. I the first place is that Ryuho himself wasn't really recognized by society, and even though he graduated from the Faculty of Law at the University of
Tokyo, he didn't make many friends there either, and he was
resentment towards society came from, and that's where it started, so the society itself is wrong, so it's a religion that wants to destroy it, and there's also the prejudice that he was in a cult, so it was a bit difficult for him to get a job.  I did get a
job at was a construction company, but it was the company that built the Happy Science building, so when I but it was the company that built the Happy Science building, so when I joined, I was treated the same as any other regular employee, so people who knew, knew, but they didn't really care, you know? I
but they didn't really care, you know? I rejoined again, or rather, that's right, I think that's how it was, but why was that? I had the feeling that I
could do it until I was about 60, but I really wanted to make movies, so I thought, "Can't you make movies again while you're still young?" I thought that you
can't make good movies without passion, you know? Thinks, there are areas where people to join Acult but according to sociology studies. There are three main psychological tricks that cults set to LURE in new members and make sure that they can never leave on their own volition the first is a sense of autonomy. Life can be full of hard decisions to make and can be very stressful things. When trying to

At the time, there was a Japanese actress named Shimizu Fumika who was becoming quite popular, and Ryu contacted her and asked if she would be in his movie. Without consulting me at all, Ryu and Shimizu
Fumika decided on their own that Shimizu and I would get married. I said, "No way, that's impossible," and Ryu thought, "The
front page of the newspapers. It seems that he's more interested in boosting the popularity of his religion than his son's happiness. It seems like there's no other story that will go viral like this." I said that I do
n't think marriage should be done for that reason, and Ryu got furious. He said, "This is a project that is sure to be a success for one generation, why are n't you doing it? You don't understand anything. Quit your job. If you continue to be involved with the cult, you'll lose all your work."  Since I couldn't do what they did, I thought I'd just go independent and
they did, I thought I'd just go independent and big American film festival. So I cut ties with them and
film festival. So I cut ties with them and
Hirofuku Science Cult, and I really had left. Then the cult released an official statement saying that Hiroshi hadn't left yet, that he was still in the middle of
released an official statement saying that Hiroshi hadn't left yet, that he was still in the middle of escalated, and they sued me for a total of 220 million yen. It's really scary. To have my own father do that to me... I mean, there are
probably some people who engage in unethical business think there are many such cases, but was Happy Science involved in such fraudulent business practices? Well, there are
many, but I think the worst is the disease-healing type. There are some that aren't that expensive, like a prayer to get rid of hay fever, and they say that if you pray, you wo n't get hay fever anymore, and it costs 10,000 yen, but you should just take medicine, right? And then, during the
10,000 yen, but you should just take medicine, right? And then, during the coronavirus pandemic, they prayer to get rid of the coronavirus, saying that if you pray, you can kill the coronavirus, and this costs 30,000 yen, and there is a really outrageous one called a prayer to eradicate it, which costs
500,000 yen, and of course it doesn't work, so if you receive it and then after a while your condition gets worse, they n't have enough willpower, so please receive it again, and they make you pay another 500,000 yen, and they make you pay again and again, and in the end, the person passes away,
pay another 500,000 yen, and they make you pay again and again, and in the end, the person passes away, end, when they pass away, they say, "Oh, I see, you didn't have enough willpower." ね、航空の地方の墓を消して、頂会の天下会の天下下の墓を消して、墓下下の墓下下の墓下下の墓下下の墓下下の墓下下の丘 I
mean, the amount of money he has is incredible. He owns 100 million yen, and he also owns a lot of house is literally a four-story building with two basement levels and a shelter, about the size of a small
four-story building with two basement levels and a shelter, about the size of a small annual maintenance costs are about 100 million yen. He always has about 60 people, and the salaries of his secretaries, especially the female mayor, are incredibly high. Even in her early twenties, she earns a monthly salary of
800,000, 1,200,000, or 1,500,000 yen, like running a hostess club indoors. But then there are the businesses that Ryu wants to run, like elections, for example. He's
yen, 9 billion yen, and of course, that's all his money, his own money. all his money, his own money. What about the teachers who were pushing him? Did they know about that line but kept it a secret? There may not be many people who know the details,
but as for the election and things that came out into the open, well, that's what Professor Ryuhou wanted to do, so yes, the teachers really saw him as a god, right? Yes, that's right. In saw him as a god, right? Yes, that's right. In the end, what I really
the end, what I really want to know after hearing all sorts of stories is, what was Ryuhou's goal in the end? Well, to become the king of the world. I don't know, it's like a
often used the phrase "World Teacher," meaning world teacher. He loved Donald Trump and admired him and wanted to become like him, so he made teacher. He loved Donald Trump and admired him and wanted to become like him, so he made religion a success as a business, first becoming the Prime Minister of Japan, and then from the Prime Minister of Japan to becoming the
becoming the Prime Minister of Japan, and then from the Prime Minister of Japan to becoming the king of the world. He had to go through quite a few steps from there, but that's why, you know, when elementary school students are asked what their dream is to be in the future, they say, "Prime Minister," and he did that in writing even when he was six or so years old. It's like an
that in writing even when he was six or so years old. It's like an elementary school student saying, "I'm going to be a hero."  I
living Earthlings originally came from another planet in the universe in UFOs, and that over a period of time called the Southern Country Year, they underwent various combinations and transformations to become what they are today. That's what it seems like in Ryu's mind, and that's why he's into discussions about what kind of adult beings there are, like
Reptilians or Beka adults, and it seems like it's a
popular topic among people. I don't know, to be but I've never once thought about what kind of adult I might be.
once thought about what kind of adult I might be. I'm probably an Earthling, so I don't know why. It's just that Ryu's whole body is full of his own
whole body is full of his own selfish views, and yet thousands or tens of thousands of selfish views, and yet thousands or tens of thousands of people believe in it and gather together, and that's how a religion or people believe in it and gather together, and that's how a religion or cult can be formed. I think there are
cult can be formed. I think there are Ryuho graduated from the University of Tokyo's Faculty of Law, which is the highest-ranking school in Japan, made people think, "Wow, he graduated from the University of
highest-ranking school in Japan, made people think, "Wow, he graduated from the University of miracle that he was
interested and gathered around him. Also, it was the times. At the time, there were a lot of times. At the time, there were a lot of campaign he launched was a huge success. I
think those are the two main reasons. Of course, Norda's prophecy didn't come true, but but what was the state of mind of the cult at that time? It was as if Ryuho had avoided the tragic prophecy with the power of El Cantare. Even though
Ryuho had avoided the tragic prophecy with the power of El Cantare. Even though he had said so many times that it would definitely come true,  It's
all thanks to me, isn't it? Saying that on your own is a bit much, UF is crying, so what will happen to the group in the a bit much, UF is crying, so what will happen to the group in the future? I guess, if you put it simply, there is something like a future? I guess, if you put it simply, there is something like a
dies, people won't go anymore, right? And if you put it simply, it's like this YouTube channel, the person running the channel has died, so it's like a channel, so they person running the channel has died, so it's like a channel, so they
habit and they can't stop, and besides, it's an internet society now, so people are starting to stop internet society now, so people are starting to stop believing in all sorts of things like that, or rather, it's an era where you can find out anything that's
search on the internet, so it's an era where you can next generation, well, Hishi has already left, so there isn't anyone, but are there any
left, so there isn't anyone, but are there any other candidates? Well, the other candidates? Well, the organization has president says he will be physically resurrected.  。 English: If the
power of everyone's prayers reaches him, the President will be physically resurrected. So please pay 30,000 yen for the period of the President's resurrection. No, no, we haven't done it yet, we're still doing it. If we
admitting that Ryuho is dead, so we have n't put forward a successor yet. Yes. Going back to what we were talking about, there was a
Om Religion, and during that time, as you mentioned earlier, there was a list of people that the Om Religion had assassinated, right? Did the Happy Science side also engage in any violent actions like that? When I was little, my dad often used to
say that he could commit terrorism anytime he wanted, so he said it so anytime he wanted, so he said it so many times, it was so scary. I have a younger brother, and because he's the son of the cult leader, he was bullied, and my mother was the
PTA president or something at the time, and she was like, "I will never lead his followers and give lectures in front of elementary schools and in
front of the local education board offices. He would file a lot of complaints to the education board. He did some pretty intense things like that. As you can
