Tokyo, Japan – April 2025
Actress Ryoko Hirosue, 44, has been arrested on suspicion of injuring a nurse during her hospitalization following a car accident. The incident occurred shortly after Hirosue was brought to a hospital for treatment, where she allegedly caused minor injuries to a nurse.
In the days following her arrest, Tokyo Metropolitan Police conducted a comprehensive drug screening. The final lab test results confirmed that no illegal substances, including narcotics or sleeping pills, were found in her system.
According to sources close to the investigation, Hirosue’s mental state has stabilized, and she is cooperating with questioning. However, insiders report that she appears emotionally distressed and overwhelmed by the intense media scrutiny and damage to her public reputation.
Negotiations for a settlement with the injured nurse are currently underway. The final decision regarding prosecution will rest with the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office.
The detention deadline for Hirosue is set for April 19. Authorities continue to investigate the circumstances of the accident and what may have triggered her behavior at the hospital.
