Yuya Yagira survives apparent suicide attempt

Reports have come in that 18-year-old actor Yuya Yagira was hospitalized early Friday morning after an apparent suicide attempt. Yagira had attempted to overdose on drugs in his Tokyo apartment, but someone called emergency assistance and he was taken to a hospital. His condition is said to currently be stable.

Reasons for Yagira’s suicide attempt are unknown at this time. His agency has not mentioned any details, but they said that they are currently looking into the matter.

In 2004, Yagira became the youngest winner of the Best Actor award at Cannes for his performance in Hirokazu Koreeda’s “Nobody Knows.” He has appeared in a few movies and television dramas since then, including last year’s “Houtai Club” and a voice role in the animated “Genius Party.”
