A man has been charged and fined the equivalent of £59 for cyberbullying the late Hana Kimura.
Local media reported that Kimura’s death followed online bullying over her behaviour on the show, which was broadcast on the country’s Fuji Television as well as on Netflix.
The pro-wrestler and star of Netflix’s docu-soap Terrace House died aged 22 in May last year.
Yukio Hatoyama, Japan’s former prime minister, tweeted about Kimura’s death and said Japan should consider penalties for those who harass individuals online.
