In the lawsuit, Bryan Emperor v. Sen NYC LLC, Big Fish Hospitality Group, LLC, Toranosuke Matsuoka and Jeffrey Resnick, (Index No. 23756/2013E) Mr. Emperor alleges that Sen has violated his right of publicity by using his name in association with the restaurant.

Because of Mr. Emperor’s reputation and notoriety, Sen continued to use Mr. Emperor’s name on the menu, listing him as the “Executive Chef” and displaying four dishes as “Chef Emperor’s Specialties.”
