Koichi Domoto (44) of &#8220;KinKi Kids&#8221; was reported in &#8220;SpoNichi&#8221; on February 26. His partner is actor Megumi Sato (38). The two met in 2009 when Sato played the heroine in &#8220;Endless SHOCK,&#8221; a musical in which Koichi starred, wrote, directed, and composed. They started dating some time after the performance, and have been dating for 10 years since. Their respective agencies did not deny their relationship when contacted by &#8220;SpoNichi.

 Koichi has been rumored to be in a romantic relationship with famous celebrities, including actresses and idols, but he has never been photographed in a definitive moment. He is aware of the fact that he is Johnny&#8217;s&#8217;s most famous &#8220;prince character,&#8221; and is very cautious about his private activities.
(Sports newspaper reporter) Although Koichi&#8217;s private life is shrouded in mystery, in June 1996, &#8220;FRIDAY&#8221; caught a 17-year-old Koichi going to the home of an idol who was five years older than him, disguised in disguise. The two were also photographed &#8220;two-shot&#8221; together. The following is a retrospective look back at that time.
<h3>Their &#8220;love for going to school in disguise,&#8221; never taking off their full-face helmets, even when going in and out of their homes.</h3>

It was on May 17, 1996, that this magazine witnessed the two.
Shortly after 10 p.m., just after the TV broadcast of the drama &#8220;Wakaba no Koro&#8221; (TBS), in which Koichi was starring at the time, we spotted Koichi, wearing a full-face helmet and riding a motorcycle, appearing on the street next to a park in Tokyo. Koichi swerved around the area on his motorcycle, and as soon as he stopped, he pulled out his cell phone and made a phone call. A short time later, Maki Miyamae (then 23, now 50, a cooking expert and TV personality), a former member of the popular idol group &#8220;CoCo&#8221; and a variety entertainer at the time, appeared.

 Koichi handed Miyamae a helmet that matched his own, moved his motorcycle to a secluded spot first, and started off with Miyamae running after him. When they returned after only about 20 minutes, Miyamae got off and entered her apartment first, and Koichi entered about 3 minutes later, still wearing his helmet&#8221; (a reporter for this magazine at the time).
The next morning, Koichi came out of Miyamae&#8217;s apartment alone, but he was still wearing his helmet. In response to a direct question from the magazine, Koichi said, &#8220;She is just a friend.
 I am just friends with her. It is a misunderstanding that we are in a relationship.
At first, he denied it. But then he said.
 &#8220;I&#8217;m in trouble&#8230;. Can&#8217;t you do something about it? (If my relationship is reported), I will be fired from my office. Besides, it would cause a rift between me and my friend (Maki Miyamae)&#8230;&#8221;
He repeated the same assertion in an almost pleading manner. Later, a story circulated that the two had been &#8220;forced to break up. He is now 44 years old. We will keep an eye on Koichi and Sato&#8217;s future.
