The entertainment world got a bit of a shock when actress Sugita Kaoru (40) announced that she got married this week. And what’s more, she married the very wealthy company president Ayukawa Junta (44), meaning she’ll be able to lead what is called a “celeb” lifestyle. The couple only met last December, so it’s a classic example of a “dengeki kekkon,” or speed wedding. Sugita became a star when still a child and cultivated an image of the “girl next door.” But the pressure of that image turned her into a rebel in her late teens and she became known as a fiery women who speaks her mind and likes a drink. In recent years, she’s been the poster girl for unmarried women heading into middle age, often referred to as “ma-ke inu.” Literally meaning “loser dog,” it can be translated as someone who has failed to follow the usual track to marriage and happiness. Sugita has been able to cash in on this image to ensure herself regular spots on variety shows. In her statement to the media she didn’t say whether she will continue working. Ayukawa, who was born in Boston and graduated from MIT, comes from a very distinguished family that includes former politicians and the founder of the Nissan zaibatsu.
