Kago denies rumors of new romance

The latest issue of FRIDAY included an article reporting that Ai Kago (20) has a new boyfriend. The magazine featured pictures of her with actor Hidejiro Mizumoto (33) at a yakiniku restaurant. She was also seen entering an apartment with him.

Kago and Mizumoto worked together in the upcoming movie “Benten-dori no Hitobito,” which opens this summer.

Kago’s management has denied the rumor, however, stating the two are not dating. Kago also addressed the issue on her own blog on Friday, apologizing for the trouble caused by the rumor.

She stated that before her comeback, she often sought advice from the psychic Yoshiko Shimo, who is Mizumoto’s mother. Kago further explained that Mizumoto attended to her when Shimo was unavailable.
