23-year-old gravure idol Minako Komukai has been dropped by her agency RIP. On Wednesday, the company issued a statement on its website announcing that they had terminated her exclusive contract.
Komukai debuted in 2000 at the age of 15, and has since been active in gravure, television, and film. But according to her agency, Komukai has frequently had physical and emotional problems, and there have been periods of time where the agency has been unable to contact her. Although the idol has shown signs of wanting to continue work, RIP felt it could no longer support her.
It is not yet clear what Komukai's plans for the future are.
