Man arrested again for stalking actress

NHK -- Jun 25

Tokyo police have arrested a man on suspicion of breaking a restraining order he was given for stalking the actress Momoko Kikuchi.

Hiromitsu Iizuka is accused of visiting Kikuchi's home and pressing the intercom on Tuesday.

Police ordered Iizuka to stay away from the actress after he was arrested in March for allegedly stalking her.

The 56-year-old suspect used to be a taxi driver and learned where Kikuchi lived when he drove her home.

Kikuchi now lives in a different location. Investigators say she contacted them after she dropped by her home on Saturday and checked intercom videos to find that the suspect had breached the order.

Police quote Iizuka as saying that he knew he shouldn't do it, but he wanted to see her.
