Sakito later addressed the circumstances surrounding Kuraki’s death in a lengthy social media post. He also denied earlier claims that he was the person who discovered her body.
“I am deeply saddened and heartbroken to learn of the passing of Hana Kuraki. I offer my sincere condolences,” he wrote.
According to Sakito, Kuraki’s friend found her at his apartment and contacted him afterwards. He then went to the location to help deal with the situation and communicate with police officers in Tokyo.
Sakito also revealed that Kuraki had previously spoken to him about difficulties in her relationship. However, he urged people not to spread unverified information or speculate about the circumstances surrounding her death.
He said: “I hope that no further harm comes to the deceased or those around her through misinformation or speculation,” he wrote.
“I also hope for a world free of people who use violence to control others or drive them to such desperate straits,”
Kuraki entered the adult entertainment industry in 2024 and was reportedly scheduled to appear at an adult industry expo in Taiwan later this year.
Her death has left friends and others who knew her mourning the loss of the 25-year-old actress.
