Noriko Sakai has surrendered herself to Tokyo police

38-year-old Japanese pop star Noriko Sakai has surrendered herself to Tokyo police. Noriko is known for her girl-next-door image, but was arrested on suspicion of possessing illegal stimulants. Tokyo police found a small quantity of drugs in her apartment.

Her missing 10-year-old son was found safe in Tokyo on Thursday night. Sakai’s husband, Yuichi Takaso, 41, was arrested last Monday for alleged drug possession and questions concerning the star’s whereabouts have dominated headlines in Asia ever since.

She rose to fame in 1987 after releasing a “Otoko no Ko ni Naritai”, a few days before her 16th birthday. Known as Nori-P during her early career, she began to use her real name after turning to acting in the 1990s. One of her most acclaimed roles came in “Hitotsu Yane no Shita”.
