Inoo Kei’s Teppanyaki Delight with Stage Companions

Amidst mounting challenges at the new agency.

His debut lead role in a musical earns rave reviews.

Meanwhile, another new romantic partner is revealed in his personal life!

The former top charmer of Johnny’s office showcased his hearty appetite.

In late April, in the evening in Ikebukuro, a handsome man appeared fully equipped with a white hat, glasses, and a mask. It was Inoo Kei (33) of “Hey! Say! JUMP.” On this day, he was in the midst of the Tokyo performance of his first leading musical. After the stage, Inoo and his friends ventured out into the night streets, heading to a surprisingly unexpected restaurant..

 

“At the restaurant Inoo entered, you can enjoy a down-to-earth teppanyaki set meal with rice, vegetables, and garlic generously served at no extra charge, priced at around 1000 yen per person. He was particularly unabashed, chatting with friends while enthusiastically indulging in meat.” (customer present at the scene)

 

Known for his carnivorous appetite, Inoo has been linked with numerous beauties in the past, earning him the reputation of a meat-eater. In February this year, his romance with popular gravure idol Risa Yukihira (29) was reported. Whether longing for a new romance or not, he headed home without engaging in any nightlife activities on this day. 

 

“Inoo is by no means a skilled singer, and there were concerns from those around him when he embarked on his musical challenge. However, through rigorous training and seeking advice from other members, the stage was consistently packed with enthusiastic audiences, earning him high praise from insiders.”  ( entertainment reporter)

Amidst the challenging journey that the newly launched agency embarked on in April, Inoo’s shining success as a musical star undoubtedly serves as a beacon of hope for the company’s future.
