Kanye West, now known as Ye, is reportedly planning a significant move to Tokyo amidst swirling rumors of marital strife with his wife, Bianca Censori.
Sources indicate that the couple may be heading for a divorce, as they have been seen apart frequently in recent weeks, with West dining alone in Tokyo and attending events without Censori.
Despite these rumors, the pair was spotted together shopping in Tokyo, suggesting a complex relationship dynamic.
West has long expressed his admiration for Japanese culture, drawing inspiration from anime and collaborating with Japanese artists like Takashi Murakami.
His love for Japan is evident in his music videos and fashion choices, including his famed collaboration with the Teriyaki Boyz.
As an American, Kanye West can stay long-term in Japan by applying for a Business Manager Visa or an Investor Visa.
The Business Manager Visa allows him to manage a business he establishes in Japan, while the Investor Visa requires a minimum investment of ¥5 million (approximately $30,000) into a Japanese business.
This investment could enable him to tap into Japan’s vibrant startup ecosystem and cultural landscape, potentially allowing for new creative ventures.
Additionally, he may consider the Startup Visa, which permits foreign entrepreneurs to reside in Japan for up to two years without needing a physical business location initially.
