5. Takefuji Corporation ("the Company") comments on an attempt at extortion and
on recent press coverage

Takefuji Corporation deeply regrets the adverse publicity occasioned by a recent
attempt by a former employee, Mr. N, to extort money from the company, and by
the series of press articles released by publishing companies such as Shueisha
Inc. and Shinchosha Co., and by Mr. Y, editor-in-chief of the internet magazine
Tokyo Outlaws.

Mr. N is now under investigation for having stolen a number of the Company's
internal documents, altered their contents and then passed them on to certain
malicious journalists and magazines, with the intention of extorting money from
the Company.

The two named publishing companies above - without any regard for the basic
journalistic requirement to check the facts - published articles drawing heavily
on these materials, which Mr. N himself has acknowledged were stolen and then
falsified. It is totally unacceptable that publishing companies, who should
uphold high standards of behavior in public life, should be able to act in this
way.

Takefuji Corporation vigorously and emphatically rejects this attempt to extort
money from it, and also the unfounded and slanderous allegations made against
the Company by those two publishing companies and Mr. Y, editor-in-chief of the
above magazine on the basis of Mr. N's forgeries.

For further details of the action that Takefuji Corporation takes in these
matters, please see our website.

Furthermore, Mr. N already involved himself in illegal gambling and was deeply
in debt during his service with the Company. Besides, we believe he had been
stealing the Company's internal documents by unlawful means for several years in
order to repay his debts pursing his own interests. On June 10, 2003, he was
rearrested for suspicion of embezzlement of corporate assets.

companies. We are pleased to announce that our company was able to keep the same

Both on May 16 and 17, 2003, the Company's National Branch Office Managers'
Meeting was held in Tokyo. In this meeting, all branch office managers of the
total 529 branch offices gathered to review the performance of the loan business
for the previous fiscal year and have themselves fully understood the loan
business strategy for this fiscal year. Several branch office managers who
produced brilliant achievements last year made a presentation on know-how of
their own business management and human resources management, and showed other
managers how to run individual branches more efficiently and effectively.

Moreover, the attendance at the meeting also made a resolution afresh and
reconfirmed the stance to raise the level of the overall performance across all
the branch offices and to be sure to achieve the loan business targets in
thorough and strict compliance with the related rules and regulations under the
slogan of "Adhere to government and ministerial ordinance, and never form an
easy self-judgment" and other corporate slogans, which have been cultivated
through our longtime business experience, being hung out in the meeting room.
