Japanese rising star Mizukami Koshi (26) has stepped into the spotlight for something other than his acting this month. The award-nominated actor was spotted enjoying a casual shopping date with his girlfriend in early November, marking the first time his romantic life has been openly reported.
According to Josei Seven, the pair were seen at a down-to-earth supermarket close to a main road. Witnesses said the two looked completely at ease, walking hand-in-hand and chatting as they browsed the aisles.

After checking out, Mizukami Koshi was seen carrying two large shopping bags, showing a thoughtful side that fans rarely get to see.

The girlfriend, who is not a public figure and is older than Mizukami, has naturally become the focus of curiosity.
Report descriptions claim she has a calm, mature vibe and a look reminiscent of model Maggie, though she remains entirely private and away from the industry.

When approached directly by reporters, Mizukami Koshi didn’t attempt to dodge the situation or make excuses.
Instead, he confirmed the relationship with a straightforward, almost refreshing clarity, saying, “Yes, we’re dating. I don’t think it’s something I need to hide.”

It’s a remarkably open stance for a young actor whose career has moved rapidly over the last few years.
Mizukami Koshi first entered the industry under the stage name Okada Kenshi, debuting in 2018 with the breakout role of Kuroiwa Akira opposite Arimura Kasumi in Chugakusei Nikki.
His natural presence and expressive performance immediately marked him as one to watch.
In 2022, he left his previous agency and switched to his real name, Mizukami Koshi.
The rebrand didn’t slow him down; if anything, it pushed him forward.
He went on to appear in the NHK morning drama Boogie Woogie and later scored major praise for his lead role in Ano Hana ga Saku Oka de, Kimi to Mata Deaetara.
That performance earned him a nomination for the Japan Academy Film Prize for Outstanding Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role, solidifying his reputation as one of the most promising actors of his generation.
With his career thriving, attention on his private life was inevitable.
When asked for clarification, his agency played it cool, stating, “We leave his private matters to him, but we’ve been told they are not living together.”

The comment quickly shut down rumours of cohabitation that circulated following the supermarket sighting.
A follow-up feature from the same outlet has promised more details about the new relationship, including a deeper look into his girlfriend and a fuller account of their relaxed shopping date.
For now, fans seem split between surprise and admiration, but many are noting how rare it is for a popular young actor to confirm a romance so openly.
