It is reported that Japanese actor Sakaguchi Kenta (35) experienced a commotion in which police were dispatched to his home after a marital dispute occurred just ten days after announcing his marriage to a woman three years his senior, and his agency denied the allegations, stating "there was absolutely no fact of him throwing punches."
On the 29th, his agency, Tristone Entertainment, released a statement titled "Regarding articles about Sakaguchi Kenta" through its official website, saying, "Defamation based on imagination and the spread of content that differs from the facts have continued, based on weekly magazine articles."
The agency emphasized, "Sakaguchi is an extremely gentle person even in his daily life, and there is absolutely no fact that he used violence against the other party," adding, "We will respond appropriately as necessary to defamation or the spread of false facts."
Previously, Sakaguchi Kenta personally announced through his official paid fan club on the 6th that he had married a non-celebrity woman he had been dating. His spouse is a hair and makeup artist, and it is known that they met on a drama filming set and have continued their relationship and cohabitation for more than five years.
However, controversy arose after the Japanese media "Josei Seven" reported on the 28th that an emergency call to Japan's police hotline, 110, was received at Sakaguchi Kenta's home late at night on the 17th, with speculation that it was reported by his wife during a marital fight.
Sakaguchi Kenta, born in 1991, became known through the films "Heroine Disqualified" and "Your 100th Love." He has also left a deep impression on domestic fans through works such as the Japanese version of "Signal," "I'm Sorry, I Love You," and the Japan-Korea co-produced drama "Things That Come After Love," in which he acted alongside actor Lee Se-young.
Sakaguchi Kenta will appear in the Tuesday drama "Kidnap Game," scheduled to air on Channel A and Disney+ on October 6.
