Maika Yamamoto’s aura of happiness from “getting back together with her boyfriend on track
When the winner of the "Bishojo Zukan AWARD 2022" Grand Prix called me "the person of my dreams," I couldn't help but think: ......
I am happy. I think it’s better if I don’t become exactly me, because I’m too free (laughs).
She said so at the “Bishojo Zukan AWARD 2022 Actress Maika Yamamoto, 24, appeared at the awards ceremony for the Her opening remark was a shout-out to her juniors in response to Yua Sugawara (13), the grand prix winner, who said she wanted to be just like Yamamoto. The “too free” Yamamoto has often been the topic of conversation not only in her acting career but also in her personal life.
She was reportedly dating actor Kentaro Ito (24), with whom she co-starred in a movie. However, when Ito was involved in a hit-and-run accident in October 2008, her family, friends, and others around her vehemently opposed the relationship. They had no choice but to break up.
However, the two, who were thought to have broken up, have gotten back together. Last December, she was invited to the rock band “MY FIRST Story’s vocalist, Hiro (28), and others. They were seen enjoying themselves at Disney Sea. We thought he might be Yamamoto’s new boyfriend, but that night she invited Ito over to her house to spend some time alone with him.
She has a lot of male friends.” But her relationship with Mr. Ito seems to be going well, and she tells everyone around her how happy she is” (Yamamoto’s acquaintance).
The movie in which Ito will appear is scheduled to be released in June this year, and Yamamoto’s work is also smooth sailing, as she will appear in the drama “Mitazono, the Housekeeper” (TV Asahi) from April. Despite her self-deprecation, she seems to be content with her happiness with her boyfriend.
