​Anguish as Netflix star found dead ​

A young star of the hugely popular Japanese reality show Terrace House on Netflix has died at the age of 22.

Professional wrestler Hana Kimura, who was known on the show for her bubbly personality and bright pink hair, was confirmed dead by her wrestling league, World Wonder Wing Stardom, on Saturday.

“Stardom fans, we are very sorry to report that our Hana Kimura has passed away,” it said in a statement.

“Please be respectful and allow some time for things to process, and keep your thoughts and prayers with her family and friends.

“We appreciate your support during this difficult time.”

Terrace House also shared its grief on Twitter, expressing its “deepest condolences” to fans and wishing them all the best.

Kimura had joined the show looking to find love, but also to promote women’s wrestling.
