are Japanese businesses that specialize in breaking up relationships, often by drawing one of the partners into an affair or by producing other incriminating evidence.〔 For a fee, a customer names a target, and an undercover employee of the company then attempts to initiate an affair with the target or produce other incriminating evidence. Though most often used to gather evidence of infidelity for use in a divorce case, it may also be used for purposes ranging from bringing shame to someone, securing the resignation of an employee, luring away the lover of one's spouse,〔 or breaking up some other relationship.〔 The activities of these agencies were first widely reported in about 2000, and in 2001 the TV network NTV aired a drama series ''Wakaresase-ya''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=japantoday.com )〕 In 2005 there were around twelve such companies in Japan, but the field has grown since with companies offering services through the internet. People involved in the business agree that men make easier targets and will almost always be seduced by good looking operatives.〔 The business entered the limelight in 2010 when a former operative of a wakaresaseya agency was sentenced for murder. He had fallen in love with a target the company had assigned to him. After he confessed the business relationship to her, she wanted to leave him and he killed her.〔 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wakaresaseya」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
