| Shukan Bunshun reports Cocomi and Ogawa Tomohiro are in a serious relationship |
Japanese media outlet Shukan Bunshun has dropped another headline-making scoop — this time revealing that volleyball player Ogawa Tomohiro (29) and flutist Cocomi (24), daughter of celebrity couple Kimura Takuya and Kudo Shizuka, are reportedly in a serious relationship.
According to the report, Cocomi was spotted entering and leaving Ogawa’s apartment in Osaka during her concert trip in Kansai last October.
The pair were also seen shopping together and travelling in the same car — giving off a very comfortable, familiar vibe.
How They Met
Sources say the two connected through a mutual friend, bonding over their shared love for volleyball and anime, particularly Cocomi’s passion for Haikyuu!!.
What started as casual friendship quickly developed into something more, with insiders claiming they’ve been dating for around two years now.
They were even seen travelling together in South Korea last year, suggesting their relationship has been going strong for quite some time.
Osaka Station Send-Off
The sweetest moment, though, came earlier in October.
When Cocomi wrapped up her Kansai concert schedule and was about to return to Tokyo, Ogawa reportedly went out of his way to see her off at Shin-Osaka Station — and was spotted giving her a gentle cheek kiss before she boarded the train.

When approached by Shukan Bunshun for comment, Ogawa responded politely,
“We get along well,”
neither denying nor confirming the romantic reports outright.
Later, Ogawa shared a blog post for his official supporters club, writing that while he understood fans’ curiosity, he couldn’t say much about his private life as his words might “affect many things”. He didn’t deny the story either — only adding to the buzz among fans.
Who They Are
Cocomi, born in 2001 to Kimura Takuya and Kudo Shizuka, has been under the spotlight since childhood.
Following in her family’s artistic footsteps, she debuted as a flutist and model, gracing the cover of VOGUE JAPAN in 2020 and becoming an ambassador for Christian Dior. She’s also performed at the NHK Kouhaku Uta Gassen alongside her mother.
Meanwhile, Ogawa Tomohiro is known as the “genius libero” of Japan’s men’s national volleyball team, playing for the Suntory Sunbirds Osaka. He’s a multi-award-winning athlete, often praised for his quick reflexes and calm defence.
Fans’ Reactions
Netizens seem pretty positive about the news — many calling the pair “unexpected but adorable,” while others said, “It’s so Cocomi to fall for an athlete — her Haikyuu!! dreams really came true!”
With Shukan Bunshun teasing more details and photos in its November issue, fans are eagerly waiting to see more of this new star-athlete pairing.
TL;DR:
Cocomi (Kimura Takuya’s daughter) and volleyball ace Ogawa Tomohiro are reportedly dating. They met through mutual friends, bonded over Haikyuu!!, and have been seeing each other for about two years. Ogawa was even seen kissing her goodbye at Osaka Station — confirming this might be one of Japan’s sweetest celeb-sports romances of the year.
