Reapplying for a visa years after having to hand back a COE?

I can't find answers that I'm looking for even after looking it up because I'm not confident with professional terms and I think my circumstances are a bit specific. I have very slim experience with this so apologies if it seems all over the place in terms of wording and content.

Originally when I was (15 turning) 16 in 2019 I lived in New Zealand (but I am actually from Malaysia) and successfully got a visa to study in an international boarding school in Hokkaido. I had intent to stay there for many years. Due to unfortunate circumstances , I only lasted 6 months as I had run away from school and attempted s***ide via tall building. I mention this because police was involved and because I could not speak Japanese I failed to speak clearly about why. Whilst I have no memory of most of the events after, my parents have told me that I had a COE and a residency card and it had to be given back when they brought me back to Malaysia from Japan. The details of this, both me and my parents, are not sure.

Now I am reapplying to study in Japan once more as a 21 year old adult in 2024. The Malaysian Japanese language learning center has affliations with my desired Japanese learning academy in Hokkaido. I am admist the application process and am on the fence.

Does someone with past issues in Japan and a revoked COE still have chances of getting a visa to be a student in Japan again as an adult?

I have been informed that I need to show my old residency card and prior COE and such related documents when I apply however as these were supposedly returned, what happens in substitute if it is still relatively possible for me to get a Japan visa?
