Kabuki actor Ichikawa Ennosuke IV, who has been indicted on suspicion of having helped his parents kill themselves, was released Monday on bail set at ¥5 million.

He was set free after Tokyo District Court dismissed a complaint by public prosecutors against the court's decision to grant bail the same day and the money was paid.

At a parking lot for the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's Harajuku Station in the capital's Shibuya Ward, the 47-year-old actor, whose real name is Takahiko Kinoshi, bowed deeply in front of media before getting in a car.

Ennosuke's counsel requested bail on Friday, when he was indicted on charges of helping his parents kill themselves by giving them large doses of ground-up psychotropic pills dissolved in water at their house on May 17. His father was kabuki actor Ichikawa Danshiro IV.

According to investigative sources, Ennosuke and his parents decided to go to "the next world" after they learned the same day that a weekly magazine article about his harassment scandal was to be published. Ennosuke is also believed to have taken sleeping pills in a suicide attempt.
