At this time, the cause of death is unknown, however, in the days before Hana’s passing fans were concerned about her well-being.
On May 22, Hana posted alarming images that implied self-harm and addressed cyberbullying that she was facing.
Around 100 frank opinions every day. I couldn’t deny that I was hurt. ‘Die, you’re disgusting, disappear’ – until now, I’ve been the one thinking these things the most. Thank you mom for giving birth to me. It was a life of wanting to be loved. Thank you to everyone who was by my side and supported me. I love you. I’m sorry I’m so weak.
—Hana Kimura, translation by @plantsbby on Twitter
She also posted a picture to her Instagram Stories with a caption that simply read “Sayonara” or “Goodbye“.

I tried to hold my laughter but once she said “I’m so muscle”, I couldn’t hold in the giggle.
That happened a lot around Hana. #HanaKimura pic.twitter.com/LMHZJ5WyZj
