However, paparazzi sources suggest Sakaguchi Kentaro's personal life is complex, alleging he is also "involved with a famous actress." The actor has not yet responded to these claims.
The 34-year-old Sakaguchi Kentaro is one of Japan's most prominent stars, nicknamed "Salt-Faced Man." According to Elle, this term describes individuals with "pure as salt" faces, characterized by narrow eyes, thin lips, a high nose, elegant demeanor, and an alluring presence, whether smiling or not.
He is recognized for his exceptional acting skills and has starred in popular films and television series like What Comes After Love, Signal, Beyond Goodbye, and Heroine Shikkaku.

In August, Sakaguchi Kentaro generated buzz for his appearance in the music video "Dream" with singer Lisa. They portrayed lovers facing the pain of a tragic separation.
