<p><span class="strongInContent"> [Joon] On a personal note, we are divorced. We both want to move on with our lives without turning our eyes away from what we have to face right now.</span></p>
<p> On November 27, actor Yoko Minamino (56) announced her divorce.&#8217; She ended a 12-year marriage that had been going on since March 2011. At the press conference, Minamino, who was 43 years old at the time of her marriage, openly stated that her marriage was a &#8220;late marriage,&#8221; but who could have predicted this outcome at the time?</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> The reason for the divorce was probably the arrest of her husband, Mitsushi Kaneda (52). On November 21, Kaneda was arrested on suspicion of embezzlement for transferring 15 million yen from the account of Seishinkai, a social welfare corporation in Shizuoka City, to the account of his affiliated company. The divorce was announced six days later. At the time of his arrest, Mr. Minamino had intended not to divorce, but was persuaded by those around him to do so. The arrest will probably cast a dark shadow over Ms. Minamino&#8217;s entertainment activities as well,&#8221; said the entertainment desk of a sports newspaper.</span></p>
<p> Minamino is scheduled to appear in the movie &#8220;Masked Rider The Winter Movie: Gachard &amp; Geets,&#8221; which will be released on December 22, playing the role of the main character&#8217;s mother. In addition, she has been active in a variety of fields, including becoming a Cambodian Goodwill Ambassador this year.</p>

<p> Minamino continues to be active on the front lines. This magazine has caught a glimpse of her true face over the years. Minamino came into the limelight in 1985 when she played the role of Saki Asamiya, the second generation of the main character in the drama &#8220;Skeban Keisatsu II: Shoujo Tekkamen Densetsu&#8221; (Skeban Detective II: The Legend of the Iron Mask). On location, where she was closely followed, she showed a devil-may-care expression.&#8221; In 1996, she appeared at the Imperial Hotel for the &#8220;Japan-Korea World Cup Bid,&#8221; smiling along with the IOC presidential candidate.</p>
<p> On the other hand, he has witnessed various expressions in his private life.&#8217; In 2006, he was seen relaxing at a cafe. In 2005, she was seen attending a memorial service for Hiroki Matsukata, who passed away at the age of 74.</p>
