You need someone to pretend to be your family member for a few hours and make things seem peachy. You need… a stand-in dad.</p> <p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;font-size: 15px;line-height: 120%;margin: 0;padding-bottom: 12px">Enter Ryuichi Ichinokawa. For more than a decade, the 51-year-old has run the <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-08-24/you-can-rent-a-dad-in-japan" style="color: #ed4d1f;text-decoration: none">Heart Project</a>, a “family rental” business in Japan.</p> <h4 style="font-size: 18px;font-weight: bold;margin-bottom: 8px;margin-top: 16px"><strong>The family man</strong></h4> <p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;font-size: 15px;line-height: 120%;margin: 0;padding-bottom: 12px">For a fee, Ichinokawa and his staff of <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2009/sep/20/japan-relatives-professional-stand-ins" style="color: #ed4d1f;text-decoration: none">100 actors</a> pose as parents, in-laws, siblings, or friends in a variety of settings — weddings, funerals, and social functions.</p> <p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;font-size: 15px;line-height: 120%;margin: 0;padding-bottom: 12px">His staff <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/in-japan-wisdom-and-solace-for-an-hourly-price/" style="color: #ed4d1f;text-decoration: none">prepares</a> for a given job by going through a Rolodex of potential questions and researching clients’ families — parent stand-ins run $275 per person; a best-man speech is a bargain, at just $46. </p> <p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;font-size: 15px;line-height: 120%;margin: 0;padding-bottom: 12px">Ichinokawa says roughly 30% of his jobs are weddings, and another 30% are “first meetings” with a love interest’s parents. Most jobs are a one-time thing.</p> <h4 style="font-size: 18px;font-weight: bold;margin-bottom: 8px;margin-top: 16px"><strong>A product of Japan’s cultural norms</strong></h4> <p style="font-family:
