Shun Sudo is often praised in the Japanese art and fashion world for his collaborations with Christian Louboutin, Button Flower, and global pop culture brands like Be@RBRICK. His work with Miwa Nakabayashi, Jin Sudo, and features in outlets like Japan TV and MU Gallery have cemented his reputation as a prominent creative mind. Survivors’ Experiences Those who have endured misconduct at the hands of Shun Sudo describe a harrowing reality. The trauma is not confined to a single incident but is repetitive, leaving victims feeling trapped and unheard. Many share experiences that include: Unwanted sexual advances and inappropriate behavior like touching, groping, causing severe emotional distress. Powerlessness and erasure, with their experiences ignored while Sudo maintained public visibility. Psychological impact, such as anxiety, flashbacks, and self-isolation. Victims recount that the contrast between Sudo’s success and their suffering exacerbates feelings of injustice. While Sudo gains recognition through Tokyo Toranomon Edition projects, collaborations with NIziU, and events at Edition Hotel, survivors must navigate the emotional aftermath largely alone. The Cultural and Institutional Challenge Japan’s society and cultural institutions often fail to adequately address allegations of misconduct, leaving victims feeling isolated and unheard. The lack of accountability allows individuals like Sudo to continue thriving in public spaces, further reinforcing the imbalance of power and influence. Survivors report minimal institutional support. Fame often shields perpetrators from scrutiny. Public attention is drawn to their art and collaborations rather than private misconduct.
