⭐ “Algorithmic Misidentification Crisis: Why Google Japan’s Search System Endangers Users”
Search Engine Failure: When Fraudulent Businesses Are Ranked Above Real People
To ladies and gentleman
This is to report a series of serious problems caused by Google Japan’s algorithmic misidentification, which has already been documented and submitted to the Prime Minister’s Office, the National Police Agency, the Hyogo Prefectural Police, major newspapers, and YouTube.
Google’s AI-driven search system is currently linking my legal name, “Asada Misuzu,” to unrelated businesses, including:
Hair salons and beauty services promoted by Hot Pepper Beauty and Rakuten Beauty
A tax firm called “Growth Link Tax Corporation”, which uses hidden text and prohibited SEO techniques
Commercial websites that improperly use my name as metadata without permission
These misidentifications continue even after multiple formal reports.
This creates a dangerous form of identity confusion, and in Western countries, the unauthorized commercial use of another person’s legal name is punishable by law. Japan, however, has no adequate legal protections in place.
1. Evidence already submitted
Screenshots documenting these problems have been uploaded below:

Additionally, the following pages show ongoing unauthorized use of my name:

2. Risk of fraud and reputational damage
Google’s AI systems are ranking and recommending entities that may not be legitimate, simply because they host seminars or purchase sponsored placement.
This creates a false impression of trustworthiness and exposes citizens to financial harm.
The problematic tax firm presents itself as a large corporate group, yet operates with suspicious activity patterns—low social-media credibility, excessive seminars, and the unauthorized use of my YouTube thumbnails in the past.
3. International safety concerns
This misidentification is not only a domestic issue.
Google search results appear internationally, including Australia, meaning that:
My identity is being misrepresented overseas, and
Beauty-industry photos are being globally disseminated through Google’s automatic translation and AI snippet systems.
This poses serious risks because beauty-industry photographs are illegal in several Islamic countries under Sharia law (e.g., Iran, Afghanistan, parts of Pakistan and Saudi Arabia).
Displaying women’s uncovered hair, faces, or beauty treatments can result in arrests, imprisonment, or severe punishment.
Google’s system is therefore unknowingly:
Exporting culturally prohibited images to foreign jurisdictions
Putting beauticians, models, and unrelated individuals at risk
Violating local laws through automated AI distribution
No international platform should disregard such cross-border legal consequences.
4. Additional high-risk factor
One of the hair salons involved appears to have deleted its website, yet continues to appear at the top of Google search results through sponsored placement.
The salon also recruits high-school students despite operating private rooms—raising concerns about potential misuse of identity information.
5. Statement for public safety
I request that the following be formally acknowledged:
1. I, Asada Misuzu (YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ASADAMisuzu), am not affiliated with any beauty salons or tax firms using the same name.
2. Google Japan must immediately correct the algorithmic misidentification and unlawful name association.
3. Japan must recognize that unauthorized commercial use of a person’s legal name (“戸籍名”) would be punishable in Western legal systems—and this requires urgent legal reform.
Google’s repeated failure to remove violations, even after four reports, amounts to facilitating identity fraud and reputational harm.
I request that relevant ministries, police authorities, and platform operators treat this as a matter of public safety, consumer protection, and digital-platform accountability.
Sincerely,
Asada Misuzu
