Total denial, huh? Or is he just that confident?
9AnonymousSep 28, 2026 23:30
So he's not even denying that he was dating Mei Nagano?
29AnonymousSep 28, 2026 23:39
Re: #9
Well, Nagano's agency already confirmed they were dating — there's no way he could deny that part.
11AnonymousSep 28, 2026 23:31
Is it actually true that police came to his house?
12AnonymousSep 28, 2026 23:32
If the info going around turns out to be true, will they actually admit it's true?

Re: #12
Would a wife really call the cops over just an ordinary couple's spat?
17AnonymousSep 28, 2026 23:35
I keep saying, put up a photo already — can't even tell who this guy is.
18AnonymousSep 28, 2026 23:35
Re: #1
So the wife's a good person and they just don't bother running the nice story?
19AnonymousSep 28, 2026 23:37
It's because there IS a problem — that's why it's making news, lmao
20AnonymousSep 28, 2026 23:37
Well, that image is tarnished now.
Tristone's roster is already full of guys with bad reputations — Oguri (Shun), Kei Tanaka, Go Ayano — and Sakaguchi and Eiji Akaso were the ones holding down the wholesome image, but now he's fallen off too.
Is Akaso next to fall into the dark side?

Re: #20
Even Akaso-kyun might end up like this someday?
There's no weird rumors about him though, right?

Sakaguchi Shimizu
Ken

Ryo

ro
(A visual pun comparing him to actor Ryotaro Shimizu — both names end in "-tarō" — since Shimizu has his own domestic violence arrest history.)

Throw Ito in there too
22AnonymousSep 28, 2026 23:37
Re: #1
Are you saying the wife is the one with the problem?
23AnonymousSep 28, 2026 23:38
This from the same people who always say 'the old media doesn't lie' — what's he even on about now?
26AnonymousSep 28, 2026 23:38
If it was serious enough to call the cops, they're probably splitting up, right?
…You'd think that, but couples don't always break up over it.
There was a couple who lived near me in my college apartment who
kept repeating the same cycle: fight → wife calls police → cops show up → but they never actually split.
Over and over.
27AnonymousSep 28, 2026 23:39
Before long they'll be regulars on daytime TV as 'that attention-grabbing couple.'
28AnonymousSep 28, 2026 23:39
Weekly magazines have really been getting out of hand lately.
Japan needs to follow France's lead and ban this kind of unauthorized reporting on people's private lives already.
30AnonymousSep 28, 2026 23:41
The agency only heard about it secondhand — they shouldn't be making definitive statements like that.
33AnonymousSep 28, 2026 23:43
Verbal abuse.
Sexual violence.
If the other person feels fear, you become the abuser —
especially these days.
37AnonymousSep 28, 2026 23:46
He's supposedly mild-mannered, so they need to explain why the police were called.
40AnonymousSep 28, 2026 23:50
Re: #37
Whatever the reason, only the wife who called them can explain that.
62AnonymousSep 29, 2026 00:09
Re: #37
Maybe it turned into a blowup after she found out he's apparently still into Mei Nagano,
and the wife just lost it.
47AnonymousSep 28, 2026 23:54
The wife's a private citizen, so nothing about her ever comes out no matter what she does.
65AnonymousSep 29, 2026 00:11
Re: #47
I bet plenty of celebrities have gotten burned after being sold out to the tabloids by that 'private citizen,' lol
54AnonymousSep 29, 2026 00:03
Just going by his image, he really doesn't seem like the type to get violent.
59AnonymousSep 29, 2026 00:08
Re: #54
If anything he seems more like the type who'd get on someone's nerves —
probably the one getting stuff thrown at him and yelled at by the girl.
63AnonymousSep 29, 2026 00:09
A wife who calls the cops knowing full well it'll seriously damage her newlywed husband's career… rough road ahead for them.
Maybe they should live with her parents or something, to have a buffer before it escalates to calling the police.
80AnonymousSep 29, 2026 00:26
Calling the cops over a mere argument after dating for 5+ years is pretty alarming —
there must have been more to it than that.
86AnonymousSep 29, 2026 00:30
So then, why WAS the report made??

Background and Key Points of This Story

An agency statement responding to a weekly magazine report is a familiar pattern in celebrity news, but it’s easy to overlook that Tristone’s wording here narrows the denial to one specific point — violence — rather than denying the allegations as a whole, stating only that “there is absolutely no truth to claims that he committed violence.” Reactions on the thread split over how to read the reported police visit to his home: some treated the fact that police were called as significant in itself, while others argued that a police call doesn’t prove violence occurred. Separately, Sakaguchi’s past relationship with actress Mei Nagano — which both of their agencies confirmed at the time — is a different topic that’s easy to conflate with this allegation. The agency’s explanation so far hasn’t addressed the circumstances behind the allegations themselves, and whether further reporting follows looks set to be the next thing to watch.
