Stretching & playing with the dog… Masato Sakai & Miho Kanno – a precious off-shoot where they are not acting in any way 《Spotted in a park!
The "strongest Arafumi couple in the entertainment industry," who will celebrate their 11th wedding anniversary in April, are on a roll both publicly and privately! Husband continues to appear in commercials even after leaving the agency, and wife is soon to release a movie in which she appears.

The small park, located in an upscale residential area, was crowded with people chatting and enjoying walking their dogs. Shortly after 5:00 p.m., a couple dressed in a monotone color coordinated outfit came to the park. Perhaps they were on their way home from shopping, their big-sized eco-bag was bulging. They were stretching in the park, standing around chatting with a neighbor they knew well, and petting a dog that was jerking around at their feet. …… Masato Sakai (50) and Miho Kanno (46), who are known as the husband-and-wife duo of two major actors, are not playing any part in their daily lives, and it is truly a very funny thing to see.
We often see the two of them together. Their husbands are just as you see them in the commercials, always smiling. He greets me and rarely wears a disguise. Both of them are so friendly that you wouldn’t think they were big celebrities.
In 2001, the couple surprised the public by announcing their marriage without any dating reports. This April marks the couple’s 11th wedding anniversary, and their life together is quite normal.
They are often seen going out by train or riding around town on their mom’s bicycle. They also flew economy class and used reasonably priced baby carriers instead of brand-name ones, which became a topic of conversation,” says entertainment reporter Kaoru Shimada.
