Takako Tokiwa, Keishi Nagatsuka to tie the knot
Tue, October 20, 2009 (12:57am EDT)
Actress Takako Tokiwa (37) and actor Keishi Nagatsuka (34) are soon getting married, it was learned on Tuesday. The two have been dating since 2003, when they both appeared in the movie "Get Up!," directed by Kazuyuki Izutsu.
The turning point in their relationship is said to have come last autumn. Tokiwa began filming for the long taiga drama "Tenchijin," while Nagatsuka went to London to train in theater. Aside from acting, Nagatsuka is also a playwright and stage director, and he is considered to be one of the top stars in Japan's next generation of theater.
The two were mostly separated for about a year, though Tokiwa managed to find time in her busy schedule to visit Nagatsuka in London a few times. During that year, the two realized that they were the right match for each other, so when Nagatsuka briefly returned to Japan, they began making arrangements for their marriage, formally meeting with each other's family and notifying their agencies.
