- Real estate mogul Kosuke Nozaki claimed in his autobiography that he had spent US$27.5 million on wooing 4,000 women in his lifetime
- Saki Sudo, now age 25, is suspected of killing the 77-year-old in 2018 by making him consume poison
Kosuke Nozaki, who boasted in his autobiography of spending millions of dollars on young, beautiful women, died in 2018 of acute poisoning aged 77.
His widow Saki Sudo, now 25, allegedly killed Nozaki by making him take a large amount of an unspecified stimulant. Some reports said it had been mixed into a drink, as no needle marks were found on his body.
Local police declined to confirm the arrest when contacted by AFP.
Nozaki, who ran a real estate business, liquor sales company and moneylending enterprise, claimed in his bestselling autobiography that he had spent 3 billion yen (US$27.5 million) on wooing 4,000 women.

“I have no interest in cars or houses. Instead, I have a boundless desire to have sex with beautiful women,” he said in the book, which also included chapters on how to seduce university students and flight attendants.
