Japanese theatre star apologises for fight
A leading Japanese theatre actor has publically apologised for his recent drunken behaviour.
Ebizo Ichikawa, an actor in the Kabuki theatre, took part in a special television conference to say sorry for his involvement in a bar brawl in November.
"I'm very sorry for causing tremendous trouble and concerns. I deeply regret what I did," Mr Ichikawa told Japanese reporters.
He admitted that he had been drinking with a group of men when there was a disagreement which led to the altercation.
The 33-year-old has been indefinitely suspended by theatre operator Shochiku Co. following the incident on November 25th, which left the actor with a fractured left cheekbone, two chipped front teeth plus multiple internal and head bruises.
Kabuki is a traditional Japanese form of theatre that involves stories about historical events, moral and love conflicts. The actors speak in an old language accompanied by traditional Japanese instruments.
