| 14-Year Age Gap? Kuroki Meisa and MMA Fighter Kota Miura Spark Dating Buzz |
Japanese actress and model Kuroki Meisa (37) has found herself back in the spotlight, not for a new drama role, but for her private life.
According to Shukan Bunshun reports on September 17, she was spotted enjoying a date in Harajuku with Kota Miura (23), a rising MMA fighter and the second son of football legend Kazuyoshi “King Kazu” Miura and model Risako Miura.
A Festival Date in Late Summer
The pair were reportedly seen together at the Azabu Juban Festival, held on 23–24 August 2025.
Witnesses said they appeared relaxed, blending in with the crowd while enjoying the festivities.
Not long after, netizens noticed that Kuroki Meisa had been regularly “liking” Kota Miura’s Instagram posts, fuelling speculation that their connection runs deeper than casual friendship.

From Screen Star to Fresh Romance
Kuroki Meisa, who made her much-talked-about drama comeback in 2024 after a seven-year break, has always commanded attention both on and off screen.
She married former KAT-TUN member Jin Akanishi in 2012, with whom she shares two children, before divorcing in 2023.
Just over a year later, she seems to have embraced a new chapter in her life, surprising fans by dating someone 14 years younger.

Kota Miura, often described as the “prince” of Japanese MMA thanks to his famous family background and sharp looks that echo his father’s youth, has quickly become a name to watch in combat sports.
His relationship with Kuroki has been labelled an “unexpected big couple” by Japanese media, and social platforms are already busy dissecting how the two might have first met.

Some speculate that Kuroki Meisa’s past marriage may have played a role – Akanishi was known to have an interest in martial arts, and Kuroki herself is passionate about fitness and training.
Others point to her consistent Instagram interactions with Miura since April 2025 as a possible starting point for their relationship.
This year marks the 20th anniversary of Kuroki Meisa’s debut, and she’s been candid in interviews about wanting to keep evolving while balancing her career and private life.
