Koki Tanaka, Member of Popular Group “KAT-TUN”, Was Arrested for Possessing Illegal Drugs — The Person Giving Him the Drugs Revealed!

I’m not sure I’ve ever been so surprised.

On February 24, the suspect, Masato Tanaka, a former member of the popular Japanese group KAT-TUN, was arrested in Nagoya. The suspect was arrested by Aichi Prefectural Police on suspicion of violating the Methamphetamine Control Act for possessing methamphetamine at a lodging facility in Nagoya City.

The suspect was arrested on the street in Naka Ward on February 24.

Tanaka denied the charges, saying, “I don’t know. According to a reporter from a national newspaper

The suspect was arrested on the street in Naka Ward on August 24. That’s how they found out about it. I think the reason it took about a month to arrest him was because he was conducting a careful internal investigation.

He said.

In September 2001, Tanaka’s exclusive contract with Johnny’s Office was terminated due to “repeated violations of the rules. After that, he formed a hip-hop group and performed live. In fact, he had been working as an artist separate from KAT-TUN.

He has been giving off a “badass” vibe since he was an idol, but when you actually meet him, he is a friendly and nice guy. At that time, I was a guest at a hip-hop event held at a club in Shibuya.

In the museum, chopsticks and yogurt made by children in a facility for the disabled were on sale. When I asked him about it, he told me that the suspect Tanaka had been supporting such children. I remember thinking that there was a side to him that was different from his image.

On the other hand, Tanaka, waiting for his turn to perform, was in the VIP room, inviting the idol singers he had invited, and having a lot of fun before the concert.

Many women are attracted to Tanaka’s badass vibe, and I don’t think he had any trouble finding women after he quit KAT-TUN. I don’t think he had any trouble with women even after he quit KAT-TUN. However, because he treated them roughly, he often got into trouble later on” (entertainment industry insider).

What is curious is how Tanaka obtained his drugs. In May 2005, Tanaka was arrested for violating the Marijuana Control Act on a street in Shibuya, Tokyo, and the case was later dropped. He has been making stories about it on his Twitter and YouTube channels, but the investigating authorities have had their eyes on Tanaka since then.

When a musician was arrested a few years ago, his name was also mentioned in the background. Tanaka was a close friend of the suspect, and they kept in touch.

Tanaka was the one who was proactive, making phone calls and meeting up with him at the pier late at night. I’m sure the authorities were aware of that much.

Backstage at the concert, he would sometimes refer to the cocaine as “Charlie” in a cryptic way in the presence of his co-stars.

The authorities seem to think that the route to obtain the cocaine is in the music industry or related circles. It seems that some people have lost contact with Tanaka after his arrest.

Tanaka’s tattoos have been increasing rapidly in recent years. A female fan said

He has a tendency to get tattoos when he is mentally unstable.

After leaving the top idol group, he had been making a small living from his live performances and YouTube videos, and he felt that he had reached a dead end. Despite his coquettish appearance, Tanaka’s “weakness” may have led him to turn to drugs…
