It's been reported that actress Inoue Waka (31) will be getting married to film director Iizuka Ken (33) on her birthday, May 13th!

According to sources, the two met in March of last year during�the filming for 'Arakawa Under the Bridge'. At the time, they had a strictly professional relationship as a director and actress, but they reunited during a dinner meeting later in May after the filming had wrapped up. The two were drawn to each other's charms and started dating shortly afterward.

Iizuka made his director debut with the movie, 'Summer Nude', in 2003. Since then, he's been active not only as a film director, but as a play scriptwriter as well as an author.

Inoue currently stars in Iizuka's stage play, 'FUNNY BUNNY -Chojyu to Sekibaku no Sora-', which will run until April 30th at Aoyama Amphitheater.

During a Sankei Sports interview, Inoue's agency confirmed the reports saying, "We have received reports of her marriage. We have heard that she will register her marriage on her birthday."

It was also reported that Inoue and Iizuka are already living together in preparation for marriage. Inoue is not pregnant at the time, and she will continue with her acting career. The couple also has not yet planned a press conference, wedding ceremony, nor reception.

Congratulations to the happy couple!
