They kissed on the street last Christmas. Mr. A. smiled until the car carrying Mr. Fukuda drove off.

I think she might be a little naive for a married man.”

On Christmas Day in 1949, the international terminal of Haneda Airport was overflowing with foreign tourists. Shortly after 3:00 p.m., a middle-aged man with blond hair and an all-back hairdo appeared at the arrival gate. He was flanked by a tall, beautiful woman resembling Aya Ueto. The couple left the airport, weaving their way through the crowd of travelers, and arrived at a luxury one-box car parked at a cab stand. After leaving their luggage with the driver, they got into the back seat and left the airport.

The blond man who appeared at Haneda Airport that day was Atsushi Fukuda, 59, CEO of STARTO ENTERTAINMENT (“STARTO”).

After graduating from Nihon University College of Art, Mr. Fukuda joined Tohoku Shinsha. After graduating from Nihon University College of Art, Mr. Fukuda joined Tohoku Shinsha, then moved to Sony Pictures Entertainment, where he was involved in the launch of Animax, a satellite animation channel, and served as president of Sony Digital Entertainment Services. He established the consulting company “Speedy” in 2005. He established the consulting company “Speedy” in 2005. He was highly regarded in the entertainment industry for his skill in leading the actress Non (31), whose activities had been restricted due to the trouble of leaving her agency at the time, to a new start by signing her to an agent’s contract.

In December 2011, he became the CEO of Start, a newly established company that undertakes the management and development of talents formerly affiliated with Johnny’s. In December 2012, he became the CEO of Start, a new company established by the late Johnny’s Kitagawa. He has been working hard to rebuild the company, which was forced to dismantle due to the sexual assault by the late Mr. Janney Kitagawa,” said a TV station official.

About a year has passed since he took office, and the activities of Start’s talents are finally approaching the status quo prior to the turmoil. Mr. Fukuda has been busy as a shrewd manager, and his personal life seems to be more fulfilling these days. A person in the entertainment industry who knows Mr. Fukuda raises an eyebrow, saying, “Even though he is married, he seems to be a little lax.

The woman Mr. Fukuda was seen with at the airport was not his wife, but Ms. A, who is two years younger than him and in her mid-30s. She is single and currently working in the sports industry. Both Mr. Fukuda and Ms. A have lived abroad for a long time, and I think they hit it off. Mr. Fukuda even invited Ms. A to his home parties, and at the end of last year they went on a week-long trip to Hawaii together.”

What a …… the two were when they parted!

The scene at the beginning of this article is when Mr. Fukuda and Ms. A returned from Hawaii. After leaving Haneda Airport, the one-box car carrying the two went to central Tokyo. They headed for a high-end sushi restaurant that offered courses for about 20,000 yen per person. After enjoying a two-hour meal at the restaurant, the two did not immediately return to the car, but instead strolled around the restaurant. On their way to a narrow alley, Mr. Fukuda put his hand on Ms. A’s shoulder, and after about 10 minutes, they were back in the car. After driving for a while, the car stopped on a relatively quiet main street.

They got out and Mr. A received his suitcase from the driver. The driver returned to the car, and the next moment, when we thought they were going to part ways, Mr. Fukuda brought his face close to Ms. A’s and began exchanging a series of five kisses and hugs on the street. There were passersby nearby, but Mr. Fukuda, perhaps because he has lived abroad for a long time, did not seem to be bothered by them at all. Mr. Fukuda attempted to kiss her for the sixth time, but when Ms. A pretended to refuse, they both smiled mischievously. Mr. Fukuda then got into his car and drove away.

This was not the only time FRIDAY witnessed Mr. Fukuda and Ms. A together.

In the evening of early January after the new year, the two were seen again in the arrival lobby of Haneda Airport. A source involved in the entertainment industry revealed, “The two were seen together for a week after the New Year.

They had been visiting Fukuda’s villa in Okinawa Prefecture for about a week since the beginning of the year. They spent their precious vacation with her and used the time to refresh themselves.

On this day, the couple got into the same one-box car as before and drove straight from Haneda Airport to a high-end yakiniku restaurant in Tokyo. After an hour-long meal there, the car stopped at the same spot where they had dropped Mr. A off on Christmas night. Mr. Fukuda stopped her as she was leaving the restaurant after picking up her luggage from the driver, and they kissed on the street again, just as they had done the night before.

Mr. Fukuda is as energetic in his private life as he is in his professional life as a business manager. But, as mentioned above, Mr. Fukuda is married with two children.

Answer about his relationship with Mr. A

How does Mr. Fukuda answer about his relationship with Mr. A and his current relationship with his wife? When this magazine requested an interview through Start, Mr. Fukuda responded as follows.

I have been friends with Mr. A for several years, and we have been dating since last December.

Regarding Mr. Fukuda’s status as a married man, he commented as follows.

I have not seen my fiancee for more than 10 years, and we have gone through a divorce settlement and have also reached a marriage cost-sharing settlement. Due to circumstances, we have not been able to officially file for divorce, but we have received an agreement to divorce.

I have decided to leave her, but she is very important to me, so I would appreciate it if you would refrain from further inquires.

My current partner fully understands this background and we are now in a serious relationship.

Mr. Fukuda answered frankly that although he is still registered with the company, he and his spouse have already agreed to divorce, and Ms. A is his girlfriend.

It seems that the shrewd manager at the helm of Start was not perfect in his own management.

After a meal at a high-end sushi restaurant, Mr. Fukuda took a walk near the restaurant, and the time he spent with Ms. A must have been therapeutic for him.
In a town crowded with couples, Mr. Fukuda was proudly enjoying his walk with Ms. A without any disguise.

The new president leading the old Janitorial team is too bold to kiss on the street.

As at Christmas, they kiss again before parting. It is a bold display of affection, paying no mind to the eyes of passersby walking nearby.
