The story

Actor Kentaro Sakaguchi (35) announced his marriage on September 6 via his paid fan club site. His bride is a private-sector woman whose relationship and cohabitation with him were scooped by “Weekly Bunshun” in 2025 — reportedly the hair and makeup artist who worked on a drama Sakaguchi starred in. The announcement simply stated, “I have married the woman I have been dating, who is not in the entertainment industry,” without detailing how long they’d been together. On 5ch, speculation flew over the timeline, with users questioning whether it overlapped with his previously reported romances with Mei Nagano and Mitsuki Takahata.

Mei Nagano said “We’re getting married,” “The relationship is real”… Kentaro Sakaguchi (35) marries a hair and makeup artist three years his senior, faces a “messy love triangle”

“This is a personal matter, but I have married the woman I have been dating, who is not in the entertainment industry.”

On the night of September 6, actor Kentaro Sakaguchi (35) announced his marriage on his own paid fan club site. His bride is a private-sector woman whose relationship and cohabitation with him were scooped by “Weekly Bunshun” last September…

Is Sakaguchi turning into a second Higashide (the actor infamous for his cheating scandal)?
They're both former Men's Non-no models too

Re: #5
It's not like he was already married when it happened
9AnonymousSep 9, 2026 19:20
I didn't know you're not supposed to date multiple people at once
Every time someone confessed to me I said yes, and it turned into a total mess

Were you raised by demons out in the mountains or something lol

Re: #9
It's free love, there's nothing wrong with it
Society's the one that's messed up
18AnonymousSep 9, 2026 19:24
He picked a 38-year-old over women in their 20s?
30AnonymousSep 9, 2026 19:27
Re: #18
He probably sensed something was off

Re: #18
Johnny's-agency idols and guys like that tend to marry someone their own age, a bit older, or right at the edge once they hit around 40

Guess popular guys have a woman who'll wait around without saying a word even if they cheat

Re: #18
If you're not a lolicon (someone into much younger girls), this barely registers as an issue
20AnonymousSep 9, 2026 19:24
He just announced his marriage and it's already blowing up?
Guess he announced it because he knew the Bunshun bomb (Weekly Bunshun's scandal scoops) was coming
70AnonymousSep 9, 2026 19:42
Re: #20
He did announce the marriage,
but this article's just pointing out the bride is the same person from last year's story

so it'll probably just end at 'oh, okay'
29AnonymousSep 9, 2026 19:27
Wait… they say they've been together over 5 years
Doesn't that overlap with his time with Mitsuki Takahata?
100AnonymousSep 9, 2026 19:51
Re: #29
Right?
I had a feeling he was juggling someone the whole time, guess this was it

Turns out he's a guy who only gets picked by an 'auntie' three years older than him

'In 2019, Ms. A did Sakaguchi's hair and makeup on the drama Innocence: A Lawyer's Wrongful Conviction (NTV), which he starred in. They grew closer after that, and they've now been together for over 5 years.'

Sakaguchi's romance with Mitsuki Takahata was reported in 2016, and they reportedly split around January 2021
Something's off…
34AnonymousSep 9, 2026 19:28
Weren't Kentaro Sakaguchi and Kei Tanaka at the same talent agency?
36AnonymousSep 9, 2026 19:29
Mei Nagano turned out to be way more of a piece of work than I thought
37AnonymousSep 9, 2026 19:30
Re: #1 In that photo, Kentaro Sakaguchi
kind of looks like Kei Tanaka
38AnonymousSep 9, 2026 19:30
I figured only a truly awful woman would confirm 'yes we were together' at a time like this — turns out it's just an old story getting rehashed
39AnonymousSep 9, 2026 19:32
I genuinely thought she was the pure, wholesome type
Totally fooled by that voice
48AnonymousSep 9, 2026 19:35
Re: #39
Hikaru Nishida is the only real 'pure girl' idol
51AnonymousSep 9, 2026 19:36
Re: #39
If she'd lived like Takako Uehara or Gomaki (Maki Goto, idol known for a past cheating scandal), every romance report would've just been shrugged off as 'well, she's popular, can't help it'
41AnonymousSep 9, 2026 19:32
So he kept his real girlfriend, the stylist, in reserve
while playing the field with actresses?
47AnonymousSep 9, 2026 19:35
Re: #41
It was just a player and a player dating each other, that's all
82AnonymousSep 9, 2026 19:46
The agency could've just said 'no comment' — why did they go and say 'yes, the relationship was real'?
88AnonymousSep 9, 2026 19:47
Re: #82
That's just from last year's article — they never said when it started or ended
It's a complete misdirect
99AnonymousSep 9, 2026 19:50
Wait, what?
I thought the story was that Nagano moved in on him while he was still with Takahata — so he was seeing the hair and makeup artist at the same time too?
104AnonymousSep 9, 2026 19:52
Re: #99
No
They got close in 2022, the agency explained it in 2025, and it's now 2026
Got it?
113AnonymousSep 9, 2026 19:55
So we've finally got a successor to Erika Sawajiri (actress known for a major scandal), huh

Background and Key Points of This Topic

Regarding Kentaro Sakaguchi, his romance with Mitsuki Takahata was reported in 2016 and they reportedly broke up around 2021; after that, in 2025 “Weekly Bunshun” scooped his relationship and cohabitation with his now-wife (the hair and makeup artist). This time’s announcement contains only the single line “the relationship is real,” without touching on when it began or whether it overlapped with his other relationships. As a result, discussion boards focused on the timeline — who he was dating from when to when — which developed into speculation that it may have overlapped with previously reported romances. However, all the agency actually confirmed was the simple fact that “he married the woman reported last year” — it did not acknowledge any overlap with other relationships, a nuance that’s easy to misread given the word “real” in the headline.
