Scoop! When directly confronted, he admits to being in a “serious relationship”… Ukon Onoe “Prince of the Kabuki world lives together with his older lover half the time” photo.

A handsome man dressed all in black, from cap to sneakers, was slowly walking down the slope of Meguro Street, which stretches gently from Meguro Station.

Beside the man was a slender, beautiful woman stylishly dressed in a long navy blue down coat and knee-high boots. Her back was straight and her eyes reminded me somewhat of actress Mayuko Kawakita (32).

After walking shoulder to shoulder for a while, the woman suddenly took the man’s arm and intertwined her fingers with his. The two were then sucked into “T,” a restaurant with a long line of customers.

This man in black is Ukon Onoe, 31, the prince of the Kabuki world.

His great-grandfather was Onoe Kikugoro VI, who led the Kabuki world in the Taisho era (1912-1926), and his grandfather was Koji Tsuruta, a famous actor of the Showa era. In 2006, at the tender age of 25, he starred in a double cast with Ennosuke Ichikawa (48) in “Super Kabuki: One Piece,” and is attracting attention as a young hope in the Kabuki world.

After about an hour, they came out of the “T” and headed home by train from Meguro Station. When they got off at the nearest station, they again took each other’s hands and intertwined their fingers, and while waiting at a traffic light, they looked into the show windows of a shopping mall painted in bright red.

When they came to an alley, they broke their hands and immediately moved away from each other. The woman entered the modern-looking apartment building with a familiar hand first, and Ukon entered the same apartment building, taking his time and paying attention to his surroundings.

We are about to introduce him to his parents.”

Despite his “neat looks,” Ukon once cobbled together that he was “unattractive. While attending Horikoshi High School, he had a crush on Mayuko Kawakita (32), a classmate, and was rejected after a long period of time (laugh). Even after he became a popular actor, his older brother Matsuya Onoe (38) told him that he was ‘too much of a mother’s son to be popular.

Three days after their tonkatsu date, there was a scene where Ukon, on his way out to the Shinbashi Enbujo, looked back at his apartment and waved to the upper floor. At the corner of his eye, a beautiful woman resembling Kawakita, who had been intertwining her fingers with Ukon, appeared from the balcony and saw him off.

Thereafter, he ran into the beauty several times in the vicinity of the apartment, but she would return to her room as a matter of course, even when Ukon was not there. We interviewed Ukon in early January, after a performance at the Hatsuharu Grand Kabuki Theater, and found that he is now living with a woman.

–I asked him directly after a performance at the Hatsuharu Grand Kabuki Theater in early January: “I understand that you are currently living with a woman.

Yes. ……, yes, yes.

–Is he thinking of getting married?

I can’t tell you any more than that, because there is nothing I can disclose right now. Of course, there is no such thing as ‘I’m actually married. If I were to get married, I would want to talk to the Kabuki world, my clients, the people involved, and my teachers, and then report it to the public.

–Have you introduced him to your family yet?

No, I haven’t yet, so that will come in the near future.

–Is your partner the same age as you?

Is he the same age as you? I consider it my job to be featured in this way. But she is just an ordinary person, so I think she should be left alone.

After saying these words softly, Ukon left the room, saying, “I’m sorry.

In an interview with a national newspaper, Ukon once said, “I have to do it with the feeling that I am the face of Kabuki. Now that the prince of the Kabuki world has a long-awaited companion, his presence is sure to grow even stronger.
