Background

Showman of the Century Who Launched Oliver: Yoshio Kou
Yoshio Kou proposes letting Oliver mate with a live human female live on camera. Though members of the media doubt that any woman would be willing to do so, Kou introduces a 19-year-old unknown talent who is more than willing to bear Oliver's child. As the woman makes a contract with the media, Kou watches on and savors the attention his bizarre idea will elicit.
In the hotel, before the broadcast she is instructed to undress in front of Oliver before undressing him, she is also told that Oliver's legs are tied to the bed, so, in case he gets too excited, it'll be fine. One of the crew members asks if her parents know about this. She says that, despite the fact that the media might portray her as some whore who only had sex with Oliver for money, she doesn't care what anyone, including her parents, thinks of her, since she truly believes Oliver to be human.
The broadcast begins. As cameras film her from behind, the woman takes off her clothes and prepares to mount Oliver. Suddenly, Kou bursts into the room and orders the event to be terminated, as tests have concluded that Oliver has 48 chromosomes and is thus a chimpanzee. Oliver breaks free of his arm restraints as the woman is dragged out of the room, despite her pleas to be allowed to continue.[1]
