<p>On a Saturday in late September, a man was running a pen in front of the entrance of Shinjuku Piccadilly (Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo), surrounded by a crowd of people. He was popular actor Sousuke Ikematsu (34).</p>
<p>On the day of the event, Ikematsu was onstage at the opening ceremony for the movie &#8220;Baby, Curious, Nice Days&#8221; held at the same cinema.</p>

<h3>He was all smiles the whole time.</h3>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> The film is the third installment of the much-talked-about &#8220;Baby, bad Kyure,&#8221; which was released in 2009. Ikematsu played the strongest assassin in history.&#8217; He also showed intense action in &#8220;Shin Kamen Rider,&#8221; which was released in 2011, and his physical beauty, which he trained even more vigorously for this role, is also a topic of conversation&#8221; (editor of a movie magazine).</span></p>

<p>As he left the theater, fans rushed to him for autographs in the short time it took for the pick-up truck to leave the mechanical parking lot, and Ikematsu was polite and smiling throughout the show.</p>
<p>Ikematsu&#8217;s Shibuya date with his girlfriend Yumi Kawai (23) was reported in &#8220;Smart FLASH&#8221; distributed on October 6. The two were reportedly walking in front of Hachiko at Shibuya station, snuggling up to each other.</p>

<p><span class="strongInContent">Their relationship was first reported in April 2011. It is said that they met when they co-starred in the movie &#8220;Just a Little Reminder. According to a person involved in the movie, Ikematsu fell in love at first sight the moment they met, and during the short filming period, he made a fierce attack on her, talking to her on his own and inviting her to dinner.</span><a href="https://friday.kodansha.co.jp/article/306048/photo/90d6be44"><br>

<p>The two do not live together, and Kawai goes to Ikematsu&#8217;s home.</p>
<h3>Rumors of impending marriage</h3>
<p>Ikematsu will play the role of Toyotomi Hideyoshi in the NHK Taiga Drama &#8220;Toyotomi Brothers! in the NHK Taiga Drama &#8220;Toyotomi Brothers! Kawai, on the other hand, is also set to play the heroine&#8217;s younger sister in the NHK television series &#8220;Anpan&#8221; in the first half of 2013. Despite their busy schedules, some say that the possibility of their marriage is becoming increasingly likely.</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> Ikematsu left Horipro, where he had worked for 13 years, last August and went independent. Kawai belongs to the Blunt Club, which is known for not talking much about his private life. Both of them will be very busy next year, bound for long periods of time. It would not be surprising if they got married before the end of the year.</span></p>
<p>Ikematsu is in great shape both publicly and privately. The smile on her face as she responded to her fans showed how fulfilling her private life is.</p>
