On September 9, a Japanese tabloid called Shukan Bunshun reported that Sakaguchi Kentaro has been in a relationship with a longtime girlfriend whose identity has not been revealed.

According to insiders, their secret meetings had been ongoing for nearly three years. The revelation has sparked massive debate online, given Mei Nagano’s rising profile and her previous brush with dating rumors involving married co-star Kei Tanaka.
