Takashi Miyagawa, a man in Japan, reportedly juggled relationships with around 35 women at the same time, using a cunning trick: he gave each woman a different birthday to receive gifts throughout the year. Many of the women believed the relationships were serious, with some even imagining marriage, while Miyagawa secretly maintained dozens of romances based on deception.

Over time, he collected various presents, including money, clothes, and even a suit, totaling roughly 100,000 yen (a few hundred dollars). His scheme unraveled when the women began comparing notes and noticed the pattern, ultimately reporting him to authorities.

Police later arrested Miyagawa on suspicion of fraud. The case has captured attention for its unusual audacity and the scale of the deception, illustrating how far some individuals will go to exploit trust.
