On the morning of October 11, we received news that we could not believe our ears. It was reported that actress Ryoko Yonekura (50) was under investigation by the “Matri” (Drug Enforcement Department, Kanto Shinetsu Health and Welfare Bureau, Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare). According to the article, Matri conducted a raid on Yonekura’s apartment in Tokyo on August 20, and Yonekura’s office reportedly did not respond to an inquiry by the “Weekly Bunshun” by the deadline.
