Miyagawa, a part-time worker from the Japanese region of Kansai, reportedly gave each of the women he had been dating different dates for his birthday in order to receive gifts and cards from them.
He was arrested for defrauding the 35 women after pretending to be serious about relationships with them.
Miyagwa whose real birthday is November 13, told a 47-year-old lover that his birthday was on February 22, while another victim, 40, said he told her it was in July. A third woman, who is 35, said she believed it was in April.
According to SoraNews24, the women totalling 35 at the moment, accused Miyagawa of swindling them out of £665 worth of birthday presents, clothes, and cash.
The suspect reportedly met his victims while working for a marketing company selling hydrogen water showerheads and other products.
Preliminary investigation revealed that Miyagawa targeted single women and began each relationship with the suggestion he would get married to them.
However, the women having discovered his scheme, formed a victims’ association and reported Miyagawa to the police in February.
Report says investigation is still ongoing.
