TOKYO —

Yuya Yagira, the youngest Cannes Film Festival best actor, was taken to a Tokyo hospital Friday due to a drug overdose, Kyodo News agency said Sunday. His condition was not life-threatening.

Yagira, 18, was sent to the hospital from his apartment early Friday, the Kyodo said, quoting no sources. Officials from Yagira’s management office could not be reached for comment. The Kyodo provided no further details.

The teen heartthrob won the best actor award at the 2004 Cannes Film Festival at the age of 14 for his role in the Japanese film “Nobody Knows.” In the film, Yagira plays the eldest of four siblings raised in isolation, who must take charge of the family when their mother leaves. It was his first movie, which earned critical acclaim at home and abroad.

In his blog, Yagira wrote this month that he has been sick and has cut back appearances on TV because of it.
