Japanese actor and ONE N’ ONLY member Kenshin Kamimura, known for his role in the BL drama “Our Youth,” has been arrested following allegations of “indecent assault” during a Hong Kong fan event. The 25-year-old star’s promising career came to an abrupt halt when authorities detained him on charges of indecent assault after an incident involving a female translator at a post-event celebration in Mong Kok.

What Happened to Kenshin Kamimura?

ONE N’ ONLY star Kenshin Kamimura was reportedly arrested on suspicion of molesting a woman in Portland Street, Mong Kok. What began as a successful fan meeting in Tung Chung last Saturday quickly descended into scandal. Sources reveal that after nine hours of interacting with admirers, Kamimura and his team, including a female interpreter hired for the event, moved to a restaurant on Portland Street for a celebratory dinner.

It was during this gathering that the alleged assault occurred. The victim, who had no prior relationship with Kamimura before being hired as his translator, reported the incident to police the following day accompanied by a social worker.

Hong Kong authorities acted swiftly, arresting Kamimura and bringing him before the West Kowloon Magistrates’ Courts on Tuesday morning. The case has been adjourned until April 15 for further proceedings.

Swift Industry Response

The fallout was immediate. Stardust Promotion, which manages the dance and vocal group ONE N’ ONLY, released a statement announcing Kamimura’s termination, citing “major breaches of contract.” The company also removed his profile from their roster and deleted his Instagram account.

This rapid response underscores the seriousness with which the entertainment industry is treating the allegations, particularly given Kamimura’s rising profile among international fans of Japanese entertainment.

Legal Consequences

Under Hong Kong law, indecent assault carries severe penalties. Section 122 of the Crimes Ordinance stipulates a maximum sentence of 10 years imprisonment for those convicted.

Local authorities have emphasized their zero-tolerance approach toward such offenses, warning that they will enforce the law strictly against anyone committing similar acts.

The incident has sent shockwaves through fan communities, especially among followers of “Our Youth” and ONE N’ ONLY supporters, many of whom have expressed their shock and disappointment on social media platforms.

As the legal process unfolds, this case highlights the increasing scrutiny faced by entertainment figures and the swift consequences that can follow allegations of misconduct in today’s climate of heightened awareness around issues of consent and appropriate behavior.
