His beloved wife, Shizuka, was by his side.</figcaption></figure>
 This shocking information came to our attention in late January.
 Takuya Kimura (50) and his wife Shizuka Kudo (52) are going to announce their divorce in a blitz. The timing is between the release of the movie &#8220;Legend &amp; Butterfly&#8221; and the start of the spring drama &#8220;Kazama Kochin &#8211; Kyoshitsu 0-&#8221; (Fuji TV, starting in April) starring Kimutaku. Some of the media are already working to get the inside scoop.
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
 Although we wondered if it was possible, this magazine, which had scooped their relationship, could not afford to have its divorce story pulled by another magazine. Moreover, I was also concerned about the source of the information. The source of the information was said to have come from the Fuji Television network.
 The story was from a Fuji TV source. Yumiko Shigeoka, Fuji&#8217;s former general producer who was transferred to Johnny&#8217;s, became a director of Johnny&#8217;s last April. The two companies are strengthening their relationship.
 A staff member at a record company said he witnessed a scene at the NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen at the end of last year in which he asked, &#8220;Are Mr. and Mrs. Kimura all right? Shizuka and her ex-boyfriend, Y.
 Shizuka and her ex-boyfriend YOSHIKI (57) were the talk of the town, but there was also excitement behind the scenes. YOSHIKI, who was probably having a drink backstage, was in a good mood and called out, &#8216;Hey, Shizuka! in front of all the people involved. Even after her appearance in Kohaku, YOSHIKI said on his video channel, &#8220;Really, she&#8217;s a wonderful person. Sometimes I get advice from her. &#8220;What do you think of her? Cocomi (21) and Kōki, (20) are now both on their own, so now is certainly the time to get divorced.
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
 When we visited Kimura&#8217;s residence, we found that the familiar car was gone. &#8230;&#8230; The only way to find out if the &#8220;sudden divorce&#8221; theory is true or false is to ask him. We went to a certain place in Tokyo and directly interviewed Shizuka.
 &#8211;Here&#8217;s Friday.
 What&#8217;s going on?
 &#8211;It&#8217;s a story that involves Shizuka, too. &#8230;&#8230;
 I don&#8217;t need to get involved. I&#8217;m sorry. Please leave.&#8221;
 There was no way I could leave now, so I called out to her again when there were no more people around.
 &#8211;I asked her again when there were no more people around.
 Me?&#8221;
 &#8211;When Mr. Kimura&#8217;s shooting calmed down, I wondered if there would be an announcement of divorce. &#8230;&#8230;
 Boo~!&#8221; (looks up at the sky and blurts out). Everyone is free to write as they please. I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s a topic you should bother to come here to talk about. I won&#8217;t answer, nothing. I&#8217;m sorry to bother you. (Looking at the old reporter) How are you?　(Looking at the old reporter) How are you?
 He laughed it off with gusto&#8211;isn&#8217;t that right, Shizuka-san?
