<h2><b>He takes a drag of his cigarette while watching her figure</b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A bright red hat and a flashy wallet chain. Somehow, even his rebellious style looks cool. Beside this handsome man was a beautiful woman dressed in equally distinctive fashion.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">One evening in mid-April, actor Kentaro Ito (27) visited a steakhouse in Setagaya, Tokyo, wearing a flashy outfit that caught attention from afar.</span></p>
<p><b>&#8220;Ito caused a hit-and-run scandal in 2020, but he has been steadily working since then. In April last year, he made his first return to a terrestrial TV drama in four years with &#8216;Machinami Terasu Yatsura&#8217; (NTV). He starred in the January drama &#8216;Mikoi ~ Kakure Bocchi-tachi ~&#8217; (Kansai TV) and is also appearing in this season&#8217;s &#8216;Kanojo ga Sore mo Ai to Yobunara&#8217; (Yomiuri TV), showing signs of a comeback,&#8221; </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">said a production company insider.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">While focusing on his acting career, Ito seems to have experienced a major change in his personal life. On this day, a petite brown-haired beauty was closely by his side as they entered the steakhouse. They chatted warmly with the staff and later enjoyed their beef together.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">At one point, Ito stepped outside alone to smoke, happily puffing while watching her eagerly eating inside. Afterward, the two left together and went to Ito’s home. The woman did not leave even after midnight. At the end of April, the couple was spotted enjoying a walk with Ito’s dog. That night, when they returned home together, she again did not leave the love nest even after midnight.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">So who is this woman spending private time with Ito?</span></p>
<p><b>&#8220;She is Rinne Yoshida (24), an actress and artist active in various fields. She made her major debut in 2014 and has released five albums as a singer and rapper. As an actress, she currently appears in the drama &#8216;Spice.&#8217; (BS-TBS), and is gaining popularity as a new icon of Generation Z among young people.&#8221;</b></p>
