Kento Nagao reportedly dating former E-girls member Riona Inagaki

Kento Nagao, a member of the popular Japanese boy band Naniwa Danshi, is reportedly in a relationship with Riona Inagaki, a former member of the girl group E-girls. Inagaki is four years older than the 23-year-old Nagao, fueling speculation about a "sister-brother" romance.

According to Japanese magazine Shukan Bunshun, Nagao and Inagaki were recently seen together at a Japan national football team friendly match at the National Stadium in Tokyo. After the game, they were photographed entering the same high-end apartment building, followed by a gathering at a restaurant and bar that lasted late into the night. Sources suggest Nagao has been frequently seen at Inagaki's residence since last winter, indicating their relationship has been ongoing for over six months.

This alleged relationship follows Nagao's previous dating rumors. In 2023, he was linked to former AV actress Yua Mikami, who is nine years his senior. Reports at the time suggested a complex situation involving Kis-My-Ft2 member Kenta Senga, leading to concerns within Nagao's agency about his image and career. The current rumors have sparked discussions among Japanese netizens, with many commenting on Nagao's apparent preference for older women.
