Japan’s hottest actress, Ito Misaki (28), is said to be romantically involved with Da Pump vocalist Issa (26). The two were recently spotted on a date and photographed by the women’s weekly magazine Josei Seven. They left a Tokyo restaurant holding hands and took a taxi to an izakaya before ending up at Issa’s Tokyo apartment. Ito was spotted leaving early the next morning. The popular and boyishly-handsome Issa has been linked with several young female stars, while the beautiful Ito seems to be ever-present on TV screens in commercials and drama series such as the recent “Densha Otoko.”
• Talento Kanda Uno (30) has said that marriage is not yet on the cards for her. She was recently spotted yet again on the arm of a wealthy bachelor by the weekly gossip magazine Friday. The 35-year old heir to the country’s largest pachinko business lives at Roppongi Hills, Tokyo’s most fashionable address for young entrepreneurs, and is heir to a family fortune of over ¥100 billion. He and Uno have been romantically linked for several years but have always been very coy with the media.
