<p>On April 10, the website &#8220;Smart FLASH&#8221; reported the relationship of Sousuke Ikematsu (32) and Yumi Kawai (22). The birth of the couple, a seasonal actor starring in the movie &#8220;Shin Kamen Rider&#8221; and an up-and-coming acting actress, became a major topic of conversation.</p>

She was looking a little tipsy and flustered.</figcaption></figure>
<p><strong> Ikematsu&#8217;s relationship with his co-starring actresses and other industry insiders had been discussed in the industry, although this is the first time he has been scooped for a passionate affair. However, he had been taking a break from romance for three years since 2005. He is said to be very particular about his character and only goes out with people he is attracted to, so he may not have been able to find the right partner.</strong></p>

<p> According to &#8220;Smart FLASH,&#8221; the two met when they co-starred in the Netflix movie &#8220;Just a Little Reminder. A person involved in the production revealed details of their encounter to this magazine.</p>

<p><strong> The film was shot on a very tight schedule, with only two weeks of shooting time. We didn&#8217;t have many chances to see each other. Even so, Mr. Ikematsu fell in love at first sight the moment he met her and made a fierce attack on her, talking to her and inviting her out to dinner.</strong></p>

<p>Kawai&#8217;s office is full of actors such as Odagiri Joe (47), Mitsuishi Ken (61), and Nishida Naomi (53). According to the article, Kawai has long respected Ikematsu, who is also an actor.</p>
<p><strong> According to the article, Kawai has long admired Ikematsu, who is an actor in his own right, and has also been involved in the drama &#8220;Oliver the Dog,&#8221; which aired on NHK last September. Ikematsu played the lead role in the second season of &#8220;This Yaro,&#8221; where Kawai and Ikematsu also co-starred. The film was written and directed by Odagiri Joe, Kawai&#8217;s senior at his office and a close friend of Ikematsu. In fact, Odagiri already knew at that time that they were dating. I think he was watching the filming with a smile on his face.</strong></p>

<p> Smart FLASH&#8221; reported that the two were already discussing marriage with plans to make an announcement within the year. However, according to the drama insider mentioned above, there is a reason why they have not decided on a specific timing for the announcement.</p>
<p><strong> Ikematsu will be appearing in the movie &#8220;Shin Kamen Rider&#8221; as well as the movie &#8220;Sekai no Okiku,&#8221; while Kawai will be appearing in the movie &#8220;Hitori bokitachi ita naranai&#8221; and the NHK drama &#8220;Kazoku dake irasshita de aiita wa kazoku datta da&#8221; (It&#8217;s not that I loved them because they were my family, it was my family that I loved), among others. If they were to announce their marriage under the current circumstances, Ikematsu and Kawai&#8217;s marriage would be reported more than the PR of their works. Because of these circumstances, both actors and actresses are trying to find the right time to announce their marriage in consideration of their co-stars and production staff.</strong></p>
<p> We look forward to the day when we will be able to hear reports of their goal.</p>
