Tabloid magazine Josei Seven caught actress Kitagawa Keiko on a late-night date with a handsome young man, sparking rumors about a new relationship.

At about 11:30 PM, Kitagawa was seen stepping out of a taxi in front of her apartment with a tall, handsome man. After pulling out a key and opening the door, the couple disappeared together into the apartment and were not seen for the rest of the night.

Rumors say that the man who entered her apartment that night was actor Hosoda Yoshihiko, who is one year Kitagawa's junior. Since both Hosoda and Kitagawa co-stared in the drama "LADY ~Saigo no Hanzai Profile~", it's likely that they became closer after working together on the set. Those close to Kitagawa say that Hosoda comforted Kitagawa when she broke up with Yamashita Tomohisa around the time that filming for the drama began.
