My three step “get out of jail” program! Step #1, Deny everything (of course) Step #2, apologize to the Japanese people for making them think you took drugs… Step #3 , Play a “Miko” in any movie/anime/game, and everyone will automatically forgive her!

Never trust a junkie.

A quick copy and paste of her name into a google images search shows she already did the schoolgirl sailor suit thing. It also may explain why she is doing drugs. Doing so many vapid bikini shoots with the knees bent inwards must really sap away one's character. Hopefully she can move on to a normal life.

I imagine that the two people who posted the above comments probably still burn suspected witches at the stake. For your information, this girl has never been found in possession of any drugs. She has been arrested because she may have been in the company of a friend who possessed a "tiny" amount of stimulants. Talk about a witch hunt !

Yep, I was right - the "health" issue was just a coverup for the drug problem. Thats why she lost her contract.

It's an interesting choice of news topic for Japan Today. However, I doubt very much that this news has been published over JT's concerns for this girl being set-up by the establishment. It will have more to do with the fact that JT can put the description 'former bikini model who debuted at age 15'. Which is sad really.

This is a ridiculous charge and the circumstances of the arrest sound very shady. It's a shame that such an orderly society spawned such a corrupt police force.

You must be kidding me. She was arrested for a tiny amount of stimulant drugs! Go and chase 'Drug Lords' around Japan. This is a joke, no wonder that cops are behind 3-4 years with murder cases.

It also may explain why she is doing drugs.

Yeah, all those teen bikini models go bad. At least one a week is reported busted here at JT. And they all keep their "tiny amount" of drugs safely stashed in the pockets of others, because..... bikinis have no pockets!

Listen to northlondon, and please ween yourselves off the Dark Ages.

oqtob, this girl has been set-up for a fall because she was stupid enough to start spilling the beans about prostitution amongst the idol girls. She was stupid to do that but it doesn't excuse the cops getting involved in an obvious case of false arrest. If people on here are offended by someone 'allegedly' using a tiny amount of stimulants, then we may as well shut down Starbucks and ban Red Bull. However, I get the impression that some comments here are more to do with male jealousy over an attractive girl (jealousy because they may never get a girlfriend as attractive as Komukai) who chose to pose in bikinis from the age of 15 for a living.

I think she is cute.

seriously 15 yrs of age as a bikini model....
jonnyboy at 06:32 PM JST - 29th January

i don't blame her for posing at 15 but i have issues with a society that thinks 15 is not old enough to be sexually active, but is old enough to be sexually objectified

at least be consistent
