Ryoki Miyama, Following Allegations of an Affair, Now Facing Reports of Financial Troubles: His Forceful Demands on His Wife, Shuri, Trigger a “Countdown to Divorce”

Many insiders are outraged, exclaiming, “This is unforgivable!”

Actor Ryoki Miyama (27) has been reported by *Shukan Bunshun* for an alleged “affair” with former Takarazuka Revue actress Maria Hanano (33), with whom he co-starred in the musical *Crash Landing on You*.His wife is actress Shuri (35); his father-in-law is actor Yutaka Mizutani (74), and his mother-in-law is actress Ran Ito (age undisclosed). Hanano, meanwhile, is also married and has a 2-year-old child.

Following the *Bunshun* report, the two seemed to be on the same page,

“It is true that we spent time together,”

, while also stating

“Our interactions were intended to deepen our understanding of the project and our roles,”

.

Furthermore, the August 19 issue of *Bunshun* reported on Miyama’s financial troubles, stating that he has fallen behind on payments to employees at his personal agency and to clients.
A sports newspaper entertainment reporter remarked,

“One thing after another… In a sense, Mr. Miyama might be a savior who keeps providing us in the entertainment media with topics to cover,”

said one entertainment reporter for a sports newspaper, speaking sarcastically.

That said, it’s no laughing matter for those involved.

In particular, the emotional strain on Miyama’s wife, Shuri, must be immeasurable.

Before they married, news broke of a “broken engagement scandal” involving Miyama and a female influencer, yet she continued to trust her husband. Last September, their long-awaited first child was born, and it seemed as though Miyama had turned over a new leaf…

“Shuri doesn’t act superior just because her parents are big-name actors; she’s always polite to the staff. She gives her all to everything. Many people in the industry are furious at Miyama for making her sad, saying, ‘I can’t forgive him!’” (TV network insider)

Shuri is currently starring in the TV Asahi series “Great Airport: GATE 24,” and there are scattered reports suggesting that the “divorce D-Day” will arrive in October, after the drama ends. However, Miyama himself shows no signs of agreeing to a family meeting involving Mizutani and Ito, and his secret meetings with Hana are

“to deepen my understanding of the role,”

.

Claiming it was “for the play”

A source at a talent agency familiar with the situation told this website,

“He admits they met alone, but he adamantly insists they are not in a romantic relationship. He’s reportedly sticking to this same line not only with the media but also with Shuri herself. While it’s true they were photographed entering a hotel together, there’s no way to verify what actually happened inside.Even though the circumstantial evidence points almost entirely to guilt, the fact that Mr. Miyama himself is boldly insisting, ‘It was for the play,’ makes the situation particularly troublesome,”

the source revealed.

However, there’s no way Shuri would take those words at face value. As it is, this is the result of her “trusting” her husband following the engagement breakup scandal. Bunshun has also leaked what are said to be email exchanges between Miyama and Hana—who are at the center of the controversy—and judging by those, their intimacy is far from something that could be dismissed as “just for the play.”The entertainment industry insider mentioned earlier speaks in a hushed tone.

“It seems Shuri’s side has gathered information on their own—not just from media reports—and has concluded he’s ‘guilty.’ I think Mr. Miyama’s far-fetched claims will backfire.”

Shuri is also reportedly bothered by Miyama’s attitude toward child-rearing and the fact that, while ignoring his own behavior, he strictly forbids his wife from doing steamy scenes or kissing scenes.

“Shuri’s agency represents the actress An, who divorced Masahiro Higashide following a messy affair scandal. As you can see from An’s work since then, her image hasn’t suffered significantly even after the divorce. That’s likely thanks to the agency’s careful handling of the situation.Rather than letting things get messy, Shuri still has a clear path ahead of her to make a leap forward as an actress.”

FRIDAY reported that Miyama, while hinting at a divorce from Shuri, was pressuring Hana to have a relationship with him. The couple’s “X-Day” doesn’t seem to be too far off.
