Full disclosure] Scoop shot! Kentaro Ito’s new girlfriend is an actress and artist three years younger than him.

A bright red hat and a glistening wallet chain ……. Next to such a handsome man, who somehow looks picturesque even in a yankee outfit, is a beautiful woman, also dressed in a unique fashion – and she is a beautiful woman.

One evening in mid-April, actor Kentaro Ito (27) was visiting a steak restaurant in Setagaya Ward, Tokyo, dressed in a flashy outfit that would catch the eye from a distance.

Ito, who caused a “hit-and-run” scandal in ’20, has continued to work steadily, and last April he made his return to terrestrial drama after a four-year absence with “Machinami Terasu Yatsura” (Nippon Television Network Corporation). In the January season of this year, she starred in the drama “Mikoi: Kakurebokuchitachi” (Kansai Television). She also appeared in the current season’s “If She Calls It Love” (Yomiuri TV), and is getting her break again,” said a source from a TV production company.

While Ito is making efforts in his acting career, it seems that he has also undergone a major change in his private life. On the day of his visit to a steak restaurant, a petite, brown-haired beauty was standing next to him. As soon as they entered the restaurant, they chatted and laughed with the staff. Afterwards, they enjoyed beef together.

Ito, who had come outside alone to smoke during the meal, happily smoked his cigarette as he watched her clutching her meat inside the restaurant. They then left the restaurant and went to Ito’s home. At the end of April, we found them enjoying a walking date with Ito’s dog. They went home together that day, and she did not come out of her “love nest” until after midnight.

Who is this beautiful woman who spends her private time with Ito?

She is Rinne Yoshida, 24, an actress and artist with a wide range of activities. After making her major debut in 2002, she has released five albums as a singer and rapper. As an actress, she is currently starring in the drama “Supai Su. (BS-TBS), and is a new icon of Generation Z who is gaining support from young people.
The two met last fall through a mutual friend. They hit it off immediately as they are both big dog lovers. They soon developed a relationship. Ito’s dog seems to have grown attached to Yoshida-san, and they often walk him together,” said an acquaintance of Ito.

True feelings about marrying an ex-girlfriend

The year ’24 was a major turning point for Ito.’ It was last October that Maika Yamamoto (27), who had been in a relationship with Ito since 19, announced her marriage to Hiro (31), vocalist of the rock band MY FIRST STORY. The aforementioned acquaintance said, “The speedy marriage came after her breakup with Ito in the spring. It was indeed a shock, and it dragged on for a while,” reveals the aforementioned acquaintance.

The following month, he announced that he was transferring to a new office. The following month, she announced that she was transferring to a new agency, with Shun Oguri (42), whom she had said she admired, serving as president. It was a big decision, but it seems that behind it all was the presence of a good friend in the form of his girlfriend.

Although she is three years younger than Ito, Yoshida has been in the business for more than 10 years, and she has a big sisterly personality, so Ito was able to consult with her easily. By being there for her at a turning point in her career, their relationship rapidly deepened.

When we visited Ito to confirm the fact of their relationship, he stopped to give us an interview even though he was walking with his dog.

–(The same front) When we visited Ito to confirm the fact that they were dating, he stopped to give us an interview despite the fact that he was in the middle of walking his dog.

I get along well with her, but I can’t say I have a partner. But I can’t say, because of the other person.

–I have seen you two together many times.

I didn’t notice them at all. Can I ask you to go through the office?”

–You have also moved to a new office. How do you feel now?

Yes, I am. I’m going to start from scratch!

With that, Ito bowed and returned to his walk. Later that day, we sent a letter of inquiry to Ito and Yoshida’s respective offices regarding the fact of their relationship, but received no response by the deadline.

Ito has made a comeback from the scandal and overcame the breakup with his ex-girlfriend. With a new partner, the day of his full recovery is near.
