Japan’s entertainment world was rocked when 22-year-old actress and idol Sannomiya Suzu, known for her appearance on ABEMA’s popular reality love show, was officially arrested by Kochi Prefecture police on suspicion of illegally possessing the drug Ketamine, commonly called “K.”
Her sweet, innocent image, deeply cherished by hundreds of thousands of fans, has completely collapsed. The late tears of the young idol at the police station couldn’t erase the shocking truth.
The Fateful Night in Kochi: Exposed by a Social Media Video
The case began late on June 9, 2026, in a busy district in downtown Kochi. A passerby scrolling through social media accidentally spotted a short video showing a group of young people acting suspiciously while using illegal drugs. Noticing one man in the video was at a nearby bar, the witness immediately alerted the police.
Police quickly arrived at the scene to investigate. As they approached the bar, they saw 28-year-old Aoki Keishiro, a well-known TikToker, stepping outside. Walking right beside him was a beautiful and familiar face, none other than idol Sannomiya Suzu.
Dramatic Arrest and 2.67 Grams of Drugs Found in Backpack
During the police check, Aoki Keishiro became extremely agitated. He loudly protested, refused to take a urine test, and tried to flee the scene. However, police quickly subdued him.
Searching Aoki’s car, officers found 2.67 grams of Ketamine hidden inside a backpack on the back seat. Aoki was arrested on the spot. Unlike her boyfriend’s resistance, Sannomiya Suzu remained calm and cooperative, voluntarily getting into the police vehicle to assist with the investigation.
The Twist: Why Was She Arrested Despite a Negative Drug Test?
After news of Sannomiya Suzu’s detention spread, a heated debate erupted in Japan. The key point was her medical test results: her urine test came back completely negative for drugs.
Theoretically, a negative test means she hadn’t used drugs recently and didn’t directly consume any. Many fans hoped it was a misunderstanding and that she had simply been riding in the car with the wrong person.
But Kochi police didn’t rush to release her. They seized and analyzed location data and messages from both their phones. This revealed a different truth: Sannomiya Suzu and Aoki Keishiro had been together and traveling for days before the arrest. They had spent multiple nights together inside the car containing the drugs.
Given the confined space of the car, her presence there for several nights made it impossible for her not to know about the Ketamine. Under Japanese law, this gave enough grounds to charge her with “joint possession of illegal drugs.”
At the end of June 2026, an official arrest warrant for Sannomiya Suzu was approved. Despite the evidence, the idol firmly denied everything: “That’s not mine. I had no idea there was K in the car.”
From “Angel” to Drug Suspect at 22
Radiant and full of life, Sannomiya Suzu entered the glamorous entertainment world in 2020 after starring in ABEMA’s hit reality show “Today, I Like You.”
Standing 155 cm tall with ideal measurements of 86-58-89.5 cm, she quickly became one of the most sought-after “Photo Goddesses” of her generation. Her acting, modeling, and content creation career was booming with a bright future ahead. But now, all that glory is overshadowed by the dark cloud of legal trouble.
According to a close friend, the couple had a complicated relationship history. Around two years ago, they were often seen together at Shibuya’s bustling nightclubs and even traveled long-term to Spain and other European countries. They had a breakup due to differences but recently reconciled.
The Disturbing “Wide-Eyed” Video
What outraged and shocked the public most was an old video of Aoki Keishiro found online. In it, the TikToker appeared completely out of control, eyes wide and vacant, deep in a drug-induced hallucination, classic signs of being high.
Even more chilling, the background audio clearly captured Sannomiya Suzu’s voice and laughter. This directly contradicts her claim of ignorance about the drugs, shattering fans’ trust.
Currently, Kochi police continue to detain both suspects to investigate the drug supply chain, the origin of the Ketamine found in the car, and their intent for possession. Whether Sannomiya Suzu can prove her innocence remains to be seen, with the final verdict waiting in court.
