Married couple YouTuber “Ponkotsu Raise” uploaded a controversial video on TikTok. The couple’s video was uploaded to TikTok, and the controversial comment was made by the husband of the YouTuber, who is 13 years older than his stepdaughter. They got married in January 2009, when Mariko was divorced and had two stepchildren. They also had a child in February 2012, so the “Ponkotsu Raice” family now consists of five members with three children. On October 27, a “problem video” of “Punkotsu Raice” was uploaded to TikTok. In the video, Mariko asks a question from off-camera, and Kosei and Hika-chan, one of Mariko’s stepdaughters, answer the question in a room at their home. At the beginning of the video, Mariko asks Kosei, in front of Hika-chan, “When you got married, did your stepdaughter get in the way? Kosei asked. Kosei answered, “No, it’s not a hindrance. I don’t think of it as a hindrance. Hika-chan laughed and said, “Well, well, well,” to which Kosei replied, “Having a stepdaughter is different from not having a stepdaughter. It costs a lot of money and takes up a lot of time. Mariko said, “Yes,” to which Hika-chan nodded her head. Kosei said again, “I might have interfered,” and Hika-chan looked at him and laughed again. Mariko laughed, and Kosei said, “No, but you know. （But because Hika and Kabu-chan (Mariko’s stepdaughter) were there, we all had a lot of fun together, going for nature walks in the mountains, etc.” “It was twice as much fun as it used to be,” he added. I think it would have been fun with just the two of us, but the presence of the children made us laugh in a different way. I think it was fun with just the two of us, but the presence of the children made us laugh in a different way. Hika-chan laughed and Kosei explained, “No, we are friends like this. The two then hugged, but Kosei said, “You’re in the way! You’re in my way! and the message “Awww, that’s terrible! Hika-chan then said, “Come here,” and they hugged, but Hika-chan told Kosei, “Get out of the way! Then Kosei said, “This is how we get along. I’m in the way, I’m in the way.” “It’s not so much that I’m in the way of your stepdaughter, but that your stepdaughter is in the way of me,” he said. Mariko laughed out loud, and the message “Awww, that’s funny,” was displayed. Later, however, a video of the same video was posted on X, along with a screenshot of the video, with the comment, “Even joking is not funny,” causing an outcry. The video was posted along with a screenshot of the video, and the comments were “not funny, even if it’s a joke. The video was edited in such a way that each time Kosei said, “I might have interfered,” the scene was repeated, and the video was made to emphasize the scene. This may be the reason for the ripples that have spread so far. However, it is a sensitive topic between family members, and it is natural that some people would feel uncomfortable with the father’s straightforward statement that his stepdaughter was in the way.
