Mahoto uploaded a video titled "I tell you why I'm shy", and it was shocking.

"When I was in my 3rd grade or 4th grade, I was playing in the park with my friend. There was a guy who looked like he is 24, or 25 years old, sitting on a bench. My friend and I were just playing in the park, didn't care about him that much. When a bell in the park rang at 5pm, the guy walked toward me and asked, "where is your home?", I answered "there", my friend also answered and pointed an opposite direction. The guy said to me, "I see, I was just going this way, too. Let's go together" I thought it was fine to walk with him. My friend went to the other way. The guy and I started walking from the park to my home. We arrived around an apartment complex. I told him "That's my way. Good bye." and tried to go home. He asked me if I have a time, if I do, let's sit down and talk on the stairs. He and I sat on the stairs, next to each other. Then he said "show me your leg"..............."

After that, what happened was this: He touched Mahoto's leg. Mahoto noticed that he was not a normal person. He asked Mahoto if Mahoto could show him something in a public bathroom near by. He taught Mahoto how to do what no adults should teach to a little kid. Then He said he'd give ¥5000($45) if Mahoto showed him doing what he just taught.

Mahot was 9-10, he said "Ok", but right before he and Mahoto went into a public bathroom, Mahoto thought this is a dangerous situation for him. Luckily a woman with a glossary bag walked by, Mahoto pointed at the woman and said, "My mom came back", when the woman was not his mother at all. He ran away.

Mahoto continued: "Since the incident, I became more afraid(and nervous) of speaking to a person I meet for the first time.  I am not shy when I talk to my fans or other YouTubers."

"Many elementary school students, or middle school students watch my videos. Please be careful. Run if something is not normal, and ask adults for help. That's how I escaped that danger. Point at any adults and say the person is your father (or mother) like I did. Don't put yourself into a dangerous situation."


What did you think? Mahoto shared such a shocking experience of his. I was surprised, too.

I did because it wouldn't bother my middle school anymore. I thought it would be okay if my high school didn't find out about it, that's why I started again. - Were you carried away by making videos when you dropped out of high school? Is that a reason? No, I entered into the high school with the lowest academic level in Tokyo, but I couldn't even catch up with that high school.
