for the ending ment, ruki said:
"today, some of my friends came to see me. theyโre all in different situations right now, but i was able to achieve my dream first. i'll always be here, waiting on this stage."
we believe suzuki ryo was one of those friends ๐๐ค
Mizuki was my oshi in M!LK.
I knew him from Hibiki, the movie he co-starred with Techi (my kamioshi).
I knew he had been struggling mentally, but to hear that it ended like this, that he died alone.. it's so heartbreaking.
Juki, udah tenang ya. Makasih buat semua memorinya ๐ค
Itagaki Mizuki Instagram Stories Update ๐ธ
๐ฌ : We're very sorry to share that actor Itagaki Mizuki has passed away due to an unfortunate incident. To all the fans who supported him with so much warmth, and to everyone who worked with him, we're truly grateful from the bottom of our hearts.
Since the end of January, Mizuki had been missing due to struggles with mental health issues he had been dealing with since last year. The police and others continued the search, and just recently, we were contacted by the Tokyo police that his body had been found in the city.
We're really sorry for not being able to share this news sooner with everyone who had been worried about him. Mizuki always worked hard with the hope of bringing smiles and joy to everyone through his acting. He had just started taking steps toward returning to work, so it's heartbreaking that his life ended like this, something even he probably never expected. To everyone who supported him during his life, weโre so sorry we couldnโt give you a proper goodbye and have to tell you like this. We hope you'll continue to remember Mizuki and the work he did with warmth in your hearts.
Thank you so much for all your love and support.
From his family
