Today the press has been informed about the sudden death of the father of actress Kuroki Meisa (20) earlier this month. The acute leukemia of her 59 years-old father suddenly took his life in the morning of May 11. He died at their home in Okinawa.
At the same day Kuroki appeared on TV Asahi in the show "Tetsuko no Heya" and pulled through the interview without letting the viewers know about her grief. Right after the show she flew to Okinawa to see her late father. The next morning she already had to head back to Tokyo for a PR-Event, but she is said to have returned home right after that again.

"Sports Hochi reports that kabuki actor Shido Nakamura (37) and actress Meisa Kuroki (21) recently started dating. The unexpected couple met when they worked together in the play "Akai Shiro, Kuroi Suna" this past April.
Sources say that Nakamura began approaching Kuroki shortly after it was decided that they would be acting together. However, they reportedly started dating barely a month ago.
Since his divorce from Yuko Takeuchi (29) in February 2008, the media has reported rumors of Nakamura dating various women, including Sawa Suzuki (37) and a rekindled romance with Tomoe Shinohara (30). Nakamura remained silent about each of those rumors, but this time it seems that he has been openly telling his friends about Kuroki. They were also seen at a party looking happy while getting very close to each other.
In May 2008, Kuroki was reported to be dating a musician named KEN, but they appear to have broken up around July of this year."

Sawajiri gets fired, good break for Kuroki.
Meisa Kuroki to replace Sawajiri in "Yamato"
Sun, September 27, 2009 (9:40pm EDT)
With Stardust Promotion looking to terminate its contract with actress Erika Sawajiri (23), it appears that rising star Meisa Kuroki (21) may be filling in for her in the live-action "Space Battleship Yamato" movie.
The movie itself was confirmed in July, with SMAP member Takuya Kimura (36) playing the lead. Sawajiri was tentatively offered the part of the heroine, Yuki Mori, and this was expected to be her comeback as an actress. She returned to Japan earlier this month, but her agency later refused to approve her appearance in "Yamato."
Sawajiri has previously caused problems for Stardust, and the company has reportedly decided to cancel her contract. Her dismissal is expected to be made official on September 28.
Along with Sawajiri, Kuroki is one of several actresses who were initially considered for the role of Yuki Mori. With Sawajiri out of the picture now, Kuroki has been chosen to replace her, and she was given an unofficial offer last week.
