Takarazuka theater actress' suicide due to overwork, bullying
The recent suicide of an actress from Japan's all-female musical
theater company Takarazuka Revue was due to overworking and
bullying by senior members that "compromised her mental and
physical health," her family's lawyer said Friday.
Hiroshi Kawahito, a lawyer representing the bereaved family of
the 25-year-old actress, said at a press conference in Tokyo
that they are demanding an apology and compensation from
the company, highlighting the "severity of the loss of a promising
young woman's life."
According to Kawahito, the actress was in her seventh year with
the group based in Takarazuka, Hyogo Prefecture, and belonged to
the Cosmos troupe at the time of her death.
After becoming one of the coordinators for junior members last April,
she was tasked with acting direction and costume preparation on top
of her regular duties.
In August and September, she was made to work without any days off
for around one and a half months, getting only around three hours of
sleep on many days, according to Kawahito.
