38-year-old actress Michiko Kawai is getting married to a 26-year-old director from the television production firm Telepack.

Based on information from various sources, it seems that they first met through work about three years ago, and they have been partly living together for the past three or four months. They have not yet registered their marriage, but are planning to hold a reception party on July 1.

Kawai's agency said that they were unable to confirm or deny the report.
