Idol Komukai arrested on drug charges

Gravure idol Minako Komukai (23) has been arrested on suspicion of violating the Stimulant Drug Control Law. Komukai has reportedly denied the charges.

According to investigators, Komukai is suspected of possession of stimulants in June 2008. Her boyfriend, who is also being charged, had been arrested for a separate crime. During questioning, he stated that he had used the drugs with Komukai, resulting in a warrant being issued for her arrest. On Thursday night, she was located in Roppongi, and she voluntarily went along with the police.

Komukai was dismissed by her agency in September after repeated physical and emotional problems became an obstacle to her work.
