Nakata Atsuhiko says YouTube revenue drove Yoshimoto exit

Original: 中田敦彦

Japanese comedian Nakata Atsuhiko, of the duo Oriental Radio, says he left the major talent agency Yoshimoto Kogyo mainly over disputes around his YouTube earnings, describing the decision as a first-of-its-kind case. His comments are drawing attention in Japan, where entertainers' independence from traditional agencies and their online income have become a growing talking point.

Why now: Nakata publicly explained for the first time that conflicts over YouTube revenue led him to leave Yoshimoto, a rare agency exit of its kind.
