UPDATE: Kamen Joshi's Igari Tomoka was taken to ICU for emergency surgery

Kamen Joshi member Igari Tomoka was taken to ICU for emergency surgery on April 11th.

On Wednesday, there was a spring storm and a strong gust of wind blew a signboard that was standing near the main gate of Yushima Seido in Bunkyo Ward and hit Igari, who was walking by.

Alice Project updated their website that Igari was taken to the hospital for an emergency operation and she was kept in ICU. Because Igari was seriously injured, any entertainment activities featuring Igari will be suspended.
