Actor Teruyuki Kagawa apologized Friday after a shocking report surfaced that he groped a hostess' breasts, took off her bra and passed it around to colleagues in 2019.

Kagawa, who is both a kabuki actor and TV and film star, is a household name in Japan and is known for his role in the “Naoki Hanzawa” corporate drama series and for hosting a children’s TV program about insects, a personal passion of his.

“I’m deeply sorry for causing trouble, concerns and grievances over a magazine report on my personal affairs,” he said during a TV program that he emcees. “I will deeply reflect on my actions and be disciplined from here on.”
