Kengo Kora’s New Love Affair with Kanako Tahara Emerges After Breakup with a Popular Actress

On January 6, it was reported that actor Kengo Kora (36) and Kanako Tahara (29), the eldest daughter of Toshihiko Tahara and a TV personality, were dating. The relationship started around the fall of the year before last, and the two were reportedly seen dining together amicably at a restaurant.

Takara is known for playing a wide range of roles, from fresh and likable characters to stalkers. In recent years, he has been particularly active in movies, with five films released last year, including “G-Men” and “Ai ni Inazuma,” and a movie starring him, “Sin and Evil,” scheduled for release in February.

Tahara, on the other hand, was scouted in Harajuku when she was a teenager and debuted as a gravure idol under the stage name Ayano Mika. She has since worked extensively as a singer and actress, and in 2015 she changed her stage name back to her real name, Kanako Tahara.

The two met several years ago through an acquaintance and have been friends for a long time, consulting each other on everything. They started dating around the fall of 2022 because Kora liked Tahara’s cheerful personality and Tahara liked Kora’s earnestness, but the reason for their relationship was because each of them had a breakup with a partner they were dating. In the spring of that year, Takara broke up with an actress with whom he had been dating for three years. This actress, Yuna Kuroshima (26), was revealed by this magazine in the July 3, 2020 issue to be his previous romantic partner.
