The incident began late at night on June 9th in the entertainment district of central Kochi City. Following a tip from a passerby who said they had seen a man appearing in a video on social media using drugs, police officers questioned suspects Aoki and Minomiya as they emerged from a bar together.

Aoki refused to provide a urine sample and resisted arrest, but 2.67 grams of ketamine were eventually found in a backpack in the car, and he was arrested on June 10th. Minomiya was in the car with him at the time and was questioned voluntarily.

Subsequent analysis of Aoki's smartphone and other items revealed that the two had been traveling together for over a week, including sleeping in a car. Given that they were traveling together, the ketamine found in Aoki's backpack was determined to be in "joint possession," and an arrest warrant was requested.

Suspect Minomiya turned himself in to the Hodogaya Police Station in Kanagawa Prefecture on June 25, leading to his arrest.

3. What does joint possession mean?

The charge of "joint possession" in this case refers to a concept that applies when it is determined that multiple people were jointly managing and controlling drugs. Even if you didn't directly possess the drugs, this rule applies if you were in the same space and considered to have been involved in their management.

Based on the analysis of their cell phones and other evidence, police determined that Minomiya and Aoki had been together for at least several days and that they were acting in collusion to possess ketamine, leading to their arrest.

During questioning, suspect Minomiya denied the charges, stating, "It wasn't something I had," and "I didn't know there was ketamine in the car."

4. Relationship with suspect Keishiro Aoki

Keishiro Aoki (28, resident of Machida City, Tokyo, self-proclaimed unemployed) was an influencer with over 50,000 followers on TikTok. He posted many videos of himself making a "high" face with his eyes rolled back and was known in some circles by the handle name "K." In the case, he was initially arrested for possession of 2.67 grams of ketamine and is reported to be maintaining complete silence.

There are testimonies that the two had been in a relationship for some time, frequenting nightclubs in Shibuya and traveling together to Europe, including Spain, about two years ago. It is said that they were so close that Minomiya's voice could be heard in a video of Aoki.

5. Suspect Suzumiya Minomiya's entertainment career history

In 2020, suspect Minomiya appeared on "Kyo, Suki ni Narimashita: Natsuzora-hen" (ABEMA), attracting significant attention with her charming looks and cheerful personality, and even forming a couple on the show.
