Sources & verification

Last verified 2026-07-12 · placed by verification, never by payment.

Editorial note: DOWNGRADED to Tier 2. Despite heavy Japanese-media recognition, adversarial check found NO ISHRS or ABHRS authority-directory entry for Inoue, so principal verified=false and the candidate's Tier 1 is not supportable. RED FLAG on cumulative-case marketing: sources disagree (8,000+ vs 15,000+) — treat volume claims with caution. Solidly multi-sourced across independent Japanese review/directory platforms (report.clinic, tokyo-doctors.com, tribeau, tamano-mitsui ranking, HotPepper Beauty), so not dropped.
