Operated under the name of 'Scary Person Rental Service', the service dispatches employees with daunting appearances such as tattoos to help solve various interpersonal problems for customers.

The service provider said it never does anything illegal and immediately stops working if requested.
It also stated that it does not hire gangsters. The company was confident that it could quickly and effectively solve customers' problems.
In actual cases, there were cases where they asked a noisy neighbor to be quiet or played the role of a customer's friend to prevent bullying in the workplace. In addition, a female customer accompanied her when she confronted her husband's mistress to check her husband's affair, and the mistress recognized the affair at the scene.
Customers evaluated that the presence of 'scary person' gave them psychological stability and courage to face the other person.
The fare is 20,000 yen (about 190,000 won) for 30 minutes and 50,000 yen (about 470,000 won) for three hours, and transportation costs are charged separately outside Tokyo. The company was confident that most problems were resolved within 30 minutes.
There was a positive response online. Netizens are saying, "If it's human nature to bully the weak and fear the strong, it's a useful service."What happens if both sides hire someone who is scared?", Comments such as 'The key is not to scare the other person, but to help yourself to be less afraid.'
However, the service abruptly announced its termination on August 31. The reason has not been disclosed, but there is a possibility that the necessary permission for the business operation has not been obtained.
