timelesz member Shuto Inomata has suspended his activities after being arrested on September 19 on suspicion of causing bodily injury.

His agency, STARTO ENTERTAINMENT, announced that he will refrain from activities for the time being and that a formal decision regarding his status will be made after authorities determine how to proceed with the case.

According to TV Asahi, Inomata is suspected of assaulting a woman he knew on September 18 around 10:30 p.m. in a parking lot in Tokyo's Koto Ward, causing injuries to her face. Police arrested him the following morning. Inomata has reportedly denied the allegation, telling investigators that his hand "may have hit her."

STARTO ENTERTAINMENT said that they take the situation seriously and apologized to the woman involved, as well as to fans and other parties affected. The agency also said they will announce formal disciplinary action after the authorities reach a decision in the case.

Inomata joined timelesz in February 2025 after participating in the audition program timelesz project. He has since appeared in dramas and variety programs while continuing his activities as a member of the group.
