Japanese actress Yūko Takeuchi — who helped break barriers as the lead of HBO's female-led Sherlock Holmes adaptation "Miss Sherlock" — has died at age 40.
EW has confirmed the star was found dead Sunday at her home in Tokyo's Shibuya Ward in what police are investigating as a suspected suicide-by-hanging, according to multiple outlets.
Takeuchi is best known to North American audiences at the center of "Miss Sherlock", Hulu and HBO Asia's female-led adaptation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's beloved mystery novels.
She also appeared in a small role in Hideo Nakata's J-horror hit Ringu, which inspired Gore Verbinski's 2002 English-language remake The Ring starring Naomi Watts.
Takeuchi is survived by her husband, actor Taiki Nakabayashi, and two children.
