Maybe.

My understanding though is that Ichiki has been the target of a similar prank by Yamanaka before, which tends to suggest this was not random.

My reading of the situation is that Yamanaka probably enjoys being in power over others, and that Ichiki has become a safe target for some unsavory ways of displaying that power.

Maybe Kanemoto is a friend of Ichiki in a jerkass type of way and thought this kind of prank was just the normal publicity stunt crap that actors have to put up with and that in the end it would help Ichiki. A friend who says things about how enjoyable it is to break his friend... yeah, well, I have known men who do say that sort of stuff about their... friends.

At the very least he's not a very good friend, but he might actually think that he is Ichiki's friend.
