Prosecutors on Wednesday demanded a two-year prison term for actress Noriko Sakai's husband Yuichi Takaso, who has admitted possessing and using illegal stimulants and implicated her as well.
At the Tokyo District Court, where people lined up for tickets to the court session, the 41-year-old self-proclaimed pro surfer, wearing a gray pin-striped suit and sporting darker than usual hair, apologized and pleaded guilty for violating the stimulants control law.
"I promise this won't happen again," he said during his one-day trial.
