In a twist in the Kano Sisters incident, Harue Kano has claimed that she actually owns the items that she allegedly stole from her sister Kyoko.

Earlier this month, Kyoko reported to police that Harue had disappeared with approximately 500 million yen in items that belonged to Kyoko. Harue later showed up for questioning but denied any wrongdoing. Kyoko is seeking to take the case to court.

Now, Harue is claiming that the items, including a 300-million-yen diamond ring, actually belong to her. Kyoko admits that she did lend her the items for attending parties and other events. So now the case has become a question of whether Kyoko actually lent the items to Harue, or gave them to her.

Reports that there is a man involved seem to have been confirmed. Kyoko's lawyer revealed that Harue is currently dating a Belgian man with intentions of marriage, and the two were living together in Tokyo.
