JAPANESE actress Noriko Sakai, once hugely popular in Asia, was convicted of drug use yesterday as thousands of people crowded outside the courthouse in anticipation of the verdict.
Tokyo District Court sentenced 38-year-old Sakai to 18 months in prison, suspended for three years, for using and possessing drugs, court spokesman Yoshikazu Ishizawa said. He declined to give further details.
More than 3,000 people thronged the courthouse.
Sakai was arrested in August after turning herself in following a week-long disappearance. She vanished a day after her husband, Yuichi Takaso, 41, was arrested for drug possession and use.
The court is set to hand down a verdict on Takaso later this month.
The couple were accused of using amphetamines.
Sakai was popular across Asia in the 1990s because of her songs and TV dramas.
