It's worth noting that the actor never confirmed that he was married to Ōgame until he issued his statement. In fact, according to reports, they exchanged vows less than a month before he got caught with someone else (who turned out to be a prostitute). 

In March of 2020, he said the following on his blog: "The rumors, including me being married to Ōgame Asuka, are indeed factual. For holding off the official announcement, and also for the careless action I took despite being married with a wife, I deeply apologize. Of course, my wife was especially disappointed."

The 33-year-old continued by offering a sincere apology. He said: "If I am allowed to be forgiven, I would like to become a man who can support my wife in good faith from here on out. I deeply apologize for all the trouble caused to my affiliated companies. Further, I believe that among my fans, there are many who may have felt disgusted, or even betrayed. I am genuinely, genuinely sorry."
