Sosuke Ikematsu and Yuumi Kawai’s Shibuya Date: Overflowing “Divine Fan Service” After the Stage Greeting
“Their relationship was first reported in April 2023. They met while co-starring in the film Just Remembering. According to film industry sources, Ikematsu fell in love at first sight the moment they met. During the short filming period, he actively approached her, inviting her to dinner and making a strong effort to pursue her,” said a reporter from a sports paper’s entertainment section.
The two are not living together; rather, Kawai is said to be visiting Ikematsu’s home.
Rumors of impending marriage
Ikematsu has been confirmed to play Toyotomi Hideyoshi in the 2026 NHK Taiga drama Toyotomi Brothers! Meanwhile, Kawai has also been cast as the younger sister of the heroine in the NHK morning drama Anpan, set to air in the first half of 2025. Both are incredibly busy, but there are voices suggesting that “the possibility of marriage is increasingly likely.”
“Ikematsu left Horipro, where he had been for 13 years, to become independent last August. The agency where Kawai is affiliated, Dongyu Club, is known for not interfering much in their artists’ private lives. They will both be heavily occupied next year with long commitments, so it wouldn’t be surprising if they have a sudden wedding by the end of the year,” said a previous entertainment reporter.
Ikematsu is doing well both professionally and personally. His smiles shown through his divine responses to fans hinted at the fulfillment he finds in his private life.
