Japanese AV actress Hana Kuraki, 25, found dead, cause of death not officially confirmed

Japanese AV actress Hana Kuraki, 25, has been found dead in an apartment in Tokyo's Kabukicho district. The cause of death has not yet been officially confirmed.

Her manager, Sakito, acknowledged her death in a post on X, expressing deep sorrow and offering his condolences. Sakito clarified that he was not the first person to find Kuraki, as one of her friends had discovered her and informed him. He then contacted the apartment's tenant, Shota Taira, who was unreachable for about two hours due to a meeting. During this time, Sakito dealt with the police and investigators who arrived at the scene.

Kuraki, from Kanagawa, had made her debut as an exclusive performer with adult video label S1 in May 2024. Before her career, she worked as a hair and makeup assistant. She had previously opened up to Sakito about relationship troubles with Taira. Sakito expressed disappointment in Taira's alleged criticism, stating that he considered Taira a friend.

However, he urged people to refrain from spreading further speculation or inaccurate information surrounding Kuraki's death, emphasizing the importance of considering her family and friends. Sakito concluded his statement with a somber prayer for a world where violence and oppression are eradicated.
