We are requesting that the AV in which you appeared be removed.

The NPO PAPPS (Non-Profit Organization for the Consideration of Pornography Victims and Sexual Violence) not only deletes AVs, but also calls for the sale to be halted and negotiates on behalf of those who seek advice.

On the other hand, there are businesses on the Internet and social media that offer advice on removing adult videos, earning hundreds of thousands to millions of yen.

1. "It is spreading right now, so we need to take action as soon as possible. By transferring funds, we can prevent it from spreading."

2. "You can delete it after buying it on an auction site."

3. "Reverse SEO" (search result manipulation)

4. "This can be done automatically using our unique program for requesting deletion."

There are businesses that advertise themselves as such and then charge a fee to have the content removed. These businesses have been sympathetic in listening to people's stories and making requests, but there has been a steady stream of complaints from people who say that "in the end, nothing changed and the content did not disappear," or "they just took their money," and that the problem was not fundamentally solved at all . Papus has received complaints from these businesses about their damage, and we recognize that this is serious damage caused by consumer contracts .

As a result of requests for deletion by these businesses, we have received inquiries regarding troubles such as the leakage of personal information. These deletion requests cannot be made for commercial purposes.

In addition, even if they were able to get AV industry groups and organizations to stop sales, they were unable to do anything about the images that had been spread .

We receive many consultations from people who cannot sleep every day because their adult videos have spread. At Pappus, social workers, network engineers, and system engineers work together to deal with these issues. We also have staff who can speak English, so we actively request overseas sites to remove the content. These services are provided free of charge and on a non-profit basis.

Please feel free to contact Pappus.

At Pappus, our specialized staff regularly and diligently patrols adult video trend sites and affiliate advertising sites, and checks them on a regular basis.

Papus' consultations are free of charge (we rely on your donations to run our services). Please do not try to deal with your problems on your own, we would love to work with you to find solutions.

*The Pups Removal Request Project is supported by public subsidies and generous donations from the 2019 fiscal year, and will be carried out free of charge until March 2020. After that, we will continue to work hard to obtain subsidies.

Consultation process

① Please contact us by phone , inquiry form , or email . After that, we will arrange a date that is convenient for you and our staff to meet. We are available on Sundays, holidays, and at night.


② Two staff members will listen to the client's story. Most of the time, the staff will be female, but since Pappus also has male staff, when meeting with a female client, we will ask whether she would mind being spoken to by a male supporter.


③ The event will be held in a rented conference room at a public institution (women's counseling center) in Tokyo.


④ If you are unable to come to Tokyo for some reason, we will arrange an interview location and staff according to the circumstances.


⑤ The consultation will last about 1-2 hours. You can leave at any time.


⑥ We will listen to what you want to discuss. It is okay if you have not yet properly organized what you want to say. As you talk in your own words, you may gradually come to understand "this is what I wanted to say."


⑦ You may remain anonymous during the first interview. If you choose to remain anonymous, we will ask for a nickname.


⑧ We spend an hour or two listening to you and clarify what you want to do most right now, what you want to solve. This is called determining your main complaint. Once you have determined your main complaint, we will think about what you need to do to solve it and work together with you to address it.


9. If you are really nervous about meeting the Pappus staff for the first time, it's okay to take a slightly roundabout route and talk to them on the phone. Talk to them on the phone and make sure you can trust them.


⑩ Our operating expenses are covered by donations from many people, so consultations are free of charge.
