Biography

[edit]

Saeko was born on November 16, 1986, in Miyazaki, Miyazaki. She is a graduate of Horikoshi High School a private high school in Nakano, Tokyo, that has graduated many future Japanese celebrities.[4]

She co-hosted and performed a cover song at the annual Girl Pop Factory show in the summer of 2004.[5]

Personal life

[edit]

In August 2007, it was revealed that Saeko and Japanese baseball player Yu Darvish were planning to marry and that Saeko was pregnant with their son.[6] They married on 11 November 2007, chosen because Darvish had worn number 11 with the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters. Saeko gave birth to their son. Ren Dokyu, on 24 March 2008 and to a second son on 26 February 2010.[7][8] The couple divorced in 2012, with Saeko granted custody of the children and Darvish agreeing to pay child support.[9][10] Saeko sent both sons to boarding school in the United Kingdom, later saying she did so because she feared they would be targeted by paparazzi if they lived with her.[11]

In 2014, it was reported that Saeko had begun dating musician Shinichi Osawa with the prospect of marriage.[12] They met after Saeko attended a Mr. Children concert and met producer Takeshi Kobayashi, who introduced her to Shinichi Osawa through his collaborations with him.[13] By 2015, it was reported that they had ended their relationship.[14] That year, she announced on her personal blog that she was in a romantic relationship with Japanese entrepreneur Yusaku Maezawa. Media reports had earlier noted their relationship after she attended a year-end party for Maezawa's company, Zozotown.[15] However, in 2017, she announced that she and Maezawa had ended their relationship because she was relocating to the United Kingdom with her sons.[16][17] In May 2021, Saeko announced she had been studying for a disaster prevention qualification and earned a certificate in August as a disaster prevention officer for the Japan Disaster Management Organization.[18]

Ren Dokyu debuted as a model in January 2025, appearing with Saeko at his runway debut in February 2025.[19] His relationship to Saeko was not publicly confirmed until September 2025, when she stated on her YouTube channel that Ren was her son.[20]

On October 12, 2026, Saeko and band member Ryota Kohama of One Ok Rock shared through a joint statement that the pair are in a relationship.[21]
