 In the blog, the relatives explained the cause of death by saying, &#8220;For the sake of the deceased&#8217;s honor
 &#8220;In the deceased&#8217;s honor,&#8221; they preface their statement with the following
 &#8220;It was an accident, not a suicide.
 and that it was an accident and not a suicide.
 Ms. Tono made her debut in 1991 under her real name &#8220;Akimi Aoki&#8221; on TV Asahi&#8217;s &#8220;Torijin Sentai Jetman,&#8221; and in 1994 changed her name to Nagiko Tono in &#8220;Yome no Izumaku,&#8221; and came into the limelight in 1995 with the TBS drama &#8220;Minors.

 In 1999, she played the heroine in the NHK television series &#8220;Suzuran&#8221; and became a popular actress.&#8217; In 2001, she won the New Face Award from the Japan Film Critics Association for her role in the film &#8220;Japan&#8217;s Black Summer &#8211; False Charge.
 In addition to her acting career, she is also active as a &#8220;tongue-in-cheek&#8221; celebrity. In her personal life, she has been married and divorced three times, the third of which ended in a speedy divorce just two weeks later.

In recent years, she suffered from an eating disorder and was not as active as she would have liked. Just before his death, he wrote on Instagram
 I have depression.
 I have depression,&#8221; she wrote on Instagram shortly before her death. According to a person who knew Tono.
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
 She had radical words and seemed to be a maverick, but in reality she was extremely sensitive. When she received negative comments on her blog or Instagram, the only place where she could interact with her fans, her biorhythms would sometimes be disrupted.
 After going through three divorces, the one person she has forgiven was the cat she kept at home. She was also actively involved in the shelter cat movement.

 His relatives wrote on their blog
 The deceased lived hard every day for his beloved cat even before his death. We hope that you will also understand his wishes.
 The blog also called out to the public, &#8220;Please understand our feelings for our beloved cat, Shu. As for her beloved cat, &#8220;Satoru-kun,&#8221; she said, &#8220;He is safe and sound.
 He is safe and sound and is currently in a safe and secure environment. Please rest assured.
 Please rest assured.
 He had hoped to lead a peaceful life until the end of his life. The tongue-in-cheek character seen on TV was only a temporary appearance, and in reality, he loved peace.
 The only time Tono showed any emotion was when he talked about his mother. A former source testified, &#8220;She has no siblings, but she has a brother and sister.
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
 She has a brother and sister, but her mother was very strict with her since she was a child. Her mother used to abuse her, saying, &#8216;That&#8217;s why you&#8217;re no good. Even when she won the heroine role in the morning drama &#8220;Suzuran,&#8221; there were no words of encouragement. Her mother not only denied her character, but often threw obscene words at her, which had a profound impact on her views on sexuality.
 In later years, Tono separated from her mother. She later found out that her mother had committed suicide and contacted Ms. Tono, but she refused to take her mother back.
 When asked on a TV program if Ms. Tono&#8217;s tumultuous life was similar to her mother&#8217;s, she replied, &#8220;No, I don&#8217;t think so. &#8220;When a question was asked on a TV program, &#8216;Is there anything in Ms. Tono&#8217;s tumultuous life that is similar to her mother&#8217;s? Tono-san, who had been smiling until then, glared at the questioner and said, &#8216;Please don&#8217;t put us together! Please don&#8217;t ask me those questions! She denied the question in a harsh voice. Even after all these years, the conflict between Ms. Tono and her mother has not improved, and in fact, Ms. Tono has lived her life with her mother as a role model.
 The family members wrote in their blog
 The deceased was a sincere actor and worked hard to survive while battling various difficulties. We, his family members, deeply respect and are truly proud of him.
 In his memorial, he said, &#8220;I am deeply honored and proud of him. Ms. Tono lived her life to the fullest despite the rough and tumble of the entertainment industry. We wish her a good rest in heaven. &#8230;&#8230;
