17 Comments

Police in Tokyo have arrested the 32-year-old son of actor Akira Shimizu on suspicion of assaulting his wife.

According to police, Ryotaro Shimizu, an impressionist in the entertainment industry, slammed his wife’s head into a dining table at their home after a heated argument at around 6:45 p.m. on April 9, Fuji TV reported. The woman, who is in her 30s, suffered injuries to her neck that required a week to heal. She filed a complaint with police on April 12 and said she and her husband had been quarreling a lot recently.

Police said Shimizu has admitted partially to the charge. He was quoted as saying he grabbed his wife by the hair and slung her into a sofa, not a table.

Shimizu has been in trouble with the law twice before. In 2016, he was caught at an illegal gambling den and was arrested for illegal stimulant use in 2017.

@P. Smith, it matter because the social media is gonna eat him alive. Celebrities scandals are a lot more juicy for people. If he was a nobody, then no one would care or bother to look at this news.

He is a nasty piece of work.

Even his own father wants to disown the wretched creature!

Who and who? Who cares? If he's wife beating, throw him in the cells. Take his dad too while they're at it. It was probably because of his upbringing....or lack their of.

Really? Well, I'm happy it was not the table. This guy is a big man to be violent against a women. Even if a women is in the wrong, walk away. But I guess there are baby boys out there. Jail him up good.
