Financial standing
Every year the National Tax Agency releases a list of the highest income tax payers for entertainers in Japan. The higher someone's income tax, the higher their actual presumed earnings; however it is possible for a person to have paid more taxes than another person who made more money. Takeshi Konomi placed number nine on this list in 2002.[2] On January 15, 2014, Takeshi announced that he would return to Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump magazine.[3]
