It hardly comes as a surprise that actor Hosaka Naoki (36) and actress Takaoka Yuki (31) have finally called it a day. On Wednesday, the couple announced their divorce after seven and a half years of marriage. They used to be known as a very devoted couple, and even appeared regularly in TV commercials on the back of that image. But in recent years rumors of affairs and splits have been abundant. The most recent - just last week - put Takaoka in a late-night clinch with married rock guitarist Hotei Tomoyasu (42). • On a happier note, TV personality Katsumata Kunikazu (39) is to be a papa. His wife, former flight attendant Sumiko (31), is currently six months pregnant. In a bridal magazine poll, Katsumata was chosen as the most ideal match for their daughters by female readers in their 50s. The best match for sons was bubbly TV personality Hashino Emi (30).

Keeping with yesterday's divorce theme, actor Watanabe Ken (photo, 44) and his wife Yumiko (44) seem to be getting closer to a settlement in their ongoing Tokyo district court case. The main bone of contention are the huge debts built up by Yumiko, revealed in court to be \180 million. Her husband says he doesn't know where the money went, but she claims he told her to use it to hush up various "scandals." A final decision is to be handed down on September 9. • Meanwhile, the same district court held the first hearing in the divorce case initiated by former pro wrestler Onita Atsushi (46), currently a member of the House of Councillors. His lawyer said that the couple have been living apart for some time. His wife (43) is refusing the divorce, saying that his work keeps him away from home for long periods anyway, so their separation shouldn't be considered the same as for an ordinary couple. Onita has one high-school age son.

Popular author and award-winning screenwriter Nozawa Hisashi (44) was found hanged at his Tokyo office yesterday. Police found what they believe to be a suicide note. Nozawa was the lead writer on an NHK "taiga" drama planned for 2007 and associates were baffled by his sudden suicide. Nozawa made his writing debut in 1985 for Yomiuri TV and wrote several award-winning dramas over the following decades. He is survived by his wife and two children. • Fuji TV, which has produced box-office hit movies such as "Antarctica" (1983) and "Bayside Shakedown" (1998), is to make its first feature length anime. The company is aiming to make "Brave Story" an international hit. Based on a manga by popular writer Miyabe Miyuki, it tells of a young boy who ventures to a fantasy world to save his dying mother. Teaming up with Fuji will be the new star in Japanese anime, Gonzo Digimation, a company that already enjoys a good reputation in Hollywood.

Sad about that writer, but I don't think I have seen any of
the dramas he's written for. And I didn't know Taiga dramas
are planned so far in advance; I guess it'll be a while til we
see that one with Tackey in it (which is going to be 40+ eps).
And yay, Gonzo are an amazing studio, good to see they're
making a full-fledged big budget film.

Popular comedy character Gorie has been chosen as the Mascot Girl for the Hawaiian island of Oahu, and last night's "One Night Rock 'n' Roll" was a one-hour special mostly filmed in Hawaii. Created by Gori of the comedy duo Garage Sale and a regular feature on the Wednesday night Fuji TV show, Gorie has become a cult figure particularly among high school girls and young women. "She" has even appeared on the cover of popular teen fashion magazines. The Okinawan-born duo are one of three comedy duos on the "One-Nai" team, and play several female characters on the show, despite the fact that both are dark and swarthy. The cross-dressing and other outlandish characters are nothing new in Japanese comedy, but "One-Nai" has managed to anger viewers with their more controversial humor, such as making fun of baseball legend Oh Sadaharu. Of course it's hard know if the controversy is real or just a publicity stunt.
