Japan Gov should not let this greediness happen in world class respected Japanese business in Japan.
It's really an unfair and it won't control the tourism. In fact, it will decline and negativity toward Japanese arises.
Now I am thinking of canceling the ticket and rather use my journey plan of Japan to multi Asian countries.
Beach - I will visit Indonesia
Mountains - I will visit Nepal
Culture/Festivals - I will visit many Asian countries

In a country full of corruption, do you think they will make it happen with the proof?
Even their Royale Massacre is not known to anyone who did it, it's all assumption so far. Nepali government is very very dangerous in hiding these crimes. It's not even possible to show the proof with social media. You get threatened. Next day the body in the river.

I don't consider the footballers because that sport is the most popular, so it's not fair at all comparing with other sport stars.
If the question mentions or labeled as the particular sport like Basketball, then Jordan and Kobe would be named at least in Top 10 Basketball superstars.
