On September 24, the Drug and Firearms Division of the Metropolitan Police Department arrested actor Kenshin Endo, 24, on suspicion of possessing marijuana jointly with actor Hiroya Shimizu, 26, who was indicted on September 22 for violating the Narcotics Control Law. The Metropolitan Police Department is investigating the details of the case, suspecting that Endo and Shimizu were using marijuana together. Endo, who started his entertainment career as a child actor in 2009, had his first leading role in the movie “Garakuta” in 2004, and played the son of Shibusawa Eiichi, the main character in the NHK historical drama “Seiten wo Sukuke” in 2009. He co-starred with Shimizu in the movie “Mis Misso” released in April ’18 and the drama “Cheer☆Dan” in the July ’18 season. Endo said, “I have never had or used marijuana before. I saw something that looked like marijuana, but it was not mine,” etc., and denies the charges. Shimizu’s arrest caused him to drop out of NHK’s television series “Bakebake,” which began on September 29, and it appears that Endo’s work may also be affected. A source in the entertainment industry said, “Mr. Endo was scheduled to appear in a movie. We heard that Endo was scheduled to appear in a movie. The film has already been shot and will be released soon, and the publicity paper produced and distributed by his agency said that he was going to appear in the movie. The office had been distributing the paper to TV station employees until recently. If Endo is indicted, there is a strong possibility that he will drop out of the film. The “Marijuana” is a very important part of the “Marijuana” game, and it is a very important part of the “Marijuana” game. The truth is waiting to be revealed.
