The couple Kamenashi Kazuya and Koizumi Kyoko was said to know each other in a pub. They were first seen to be dating each other in 2006 by the media when Kame was seen driving Koizumi's car to and fro her house on several days and was seen on a holiday to Paris last July (2007). Both parties did not admit on this relationship. However, Kame has officially apologized for this misunderstanding.
In Late February, Koizumi revealed the breakup to close friends in a drinking party. It was not clear since when the couple has split.
Takeda-san who filmed Kinpachi Sensai with Kame, was said to share a teacher-student relationship with him. Takeda-san shared his opinion on the two's relation in a newspaper column. He claimed that he and Kame had a heart-to-heart talk on this relationship before and Kame said
1) he wanted to get married,
2) he wasn’t suited for an acting career
3) he wants to retire by the time he’s 29
4) he wants to open a boutique
Kame said that he is only able to do dramas now because he is young, but that he doesn’t have the talent to be an actor and that acting is not a simple thing. He is not any better than Takeda Tetsuya himself, OR Koizumi Kyoko, his rumoured lover. That’s why he’d rather pursue his first love, fashion, and manage a boutique next time.
In his ending lines, Takeda-san even encouraged Kame on this relationship and said," I know you have been moody recently about this issue, ganbatte and I will support you no matter what."
Later after this article was published and caused a big woo-ha, Tekade-san apologized officially and explained this is a misunderstanding. What the reporter/interveiwer interpreted from his words are very different from what he originally told him. Hence, this article is untrue.

My Views:
Is the 2K relationship really over? If it is, many fans will be happy, afterall we do feel Kame should not be with a 42-years-old. However, if Kame is really sad about this breakup, I believe the fans will feel sad for him too.
Is the article untrue or not? Tekade-san's claims sound reasonable afterall he does have a teacher-student relationship with Kame but for him to spill the beans just like that, is really not right. Afterall I believed Kame trust him well enough to confide in him and he is telling all these to the reporter. Tekeda-san might just turn out to have a very bad reputation for his reliability.
Anyway, we all do know that Kame does know how to act and sing from all his past achievements, not just because he is young that he is getting all the jobs. So Kame, please continue to work hard. Fans are all behind you!
