1. The background behind Hiroko Sato's first public announcement of her child's father

 

Hiroko Sato was extremely popular as a gravure idol in the early 2000s, and has since built a career as an actress.

In 2015, she announced that she had given birth to a baby boy out of wedlock, but she never revealed the identity of the father and remained silent for about 10 years.

 

In a lengthy interview with Bunshun Online, she revealed the real name of the "father of her child" in her own words, sending shock waves through the public. This was no mere gossip, but a confession intended to settle the pain and conflict she had been carrying for over 10 years.

 

 

 

 

2. Who is the actor Konishi Ryosei, who is said to be her father?

 

Hiroko Sato named actor Ryosei Konishi as her father.
He rose to fame when he played the main character, Kouga Saejima, in the special effects drama "GARO" which aired in 2005. Since then, he has continued to garner support for many years as an iconic figure in the series.

 

He has appeared not only in TV dramas but also in stage plays and musicals, and his singing ability and expressiveness are highly praised by theater fans. He still posts announcements about his upcoming live shows and stage appearances on social media, and on the surface, it appears that his acting career is going smoothly.

 

 

 

 

3. From meeting to dating, first pregnancy and abortion

 

The two first met on the set of the "GARO" series. When Sato Hiroko was taking on her first action role, Konishi Ryosei showed up to practice and taught her how to act, which is how the two first became closer.

 

Although they began dating relatively quickly, just a few months later, Sato became pregnant with her first child. At the time, marriage was ruled out due to her work schedule and concerns about the future, and she was forced to make the decision to have an abortion, which left her with a great deal of emotional stress.

 

Looking back on this experience, Sato said, "It broke my mind and body," and described it as one of the most traumatic episodes in his confession.

 

 

 

 

4. Second pregnancy and the decision to become an unwed mother

 

The relationship remained unclear until 2014, when she discovered she was pregnant for the second time.
The first abortion had a huge impact on her mind and body, and Sato decided to give birth, saying, "I can never make the same choice again."

 

However, Konishi Ryosei was opposed to marriage and was said to have avoided responsibility, citing financial and work reasons. As a result, Sato gave birth unmarried and chose to raise her child as a single mother.

 

 

 

 

5. The reality is that she was not recognized as a paternal parent or paid child support for 10 years after giving birth

After giving birth, Hiroko Sato tried to contact the father many times about child recognition and child support, but she says she received almost no response and no real support for a long period of time.

 

She spoke about how life was not easy, and that she gradually lost opportunities to work in the entertainment industry, and that she had to continue raising her child while working part-time. This "10-year gap" is the point that has drawn the most harsh scrutiny from the public.

 

Summary of the past 10 years

era	event
Around 2012	Starting a relationship, first pregnancy and abortion
2014	Second pregnancy
2015	Giving birth to a boy out of wedlock
2015-2024	The situation of no recognition or child support continues
End of 2024	Agreed on paternity and child support (30,000 yen per month)

 

 

 

6. Why did you decide to make this public now?

The main reason for making this public was an offer to appear in the new "GARO" series.
His family was strongly opposed to him appearing in the series in which his father starred, and Sato himself was forced to face the question of whether he should continue to hide the truth.

 

Her words, "I can't take the next step if I keep it a secret," also show that this confession was a decision she made with great resolve.

 

 

 

 

7. Public and fan reactions: "Poor thing" and "He should take responsibility as a father"

After the announcement was made, Konishi Ryosei's social media and comment sections on news articles were flooded with harsh comments such as, "I feel sorry for Sato Hiroko," "I hope he does the right thing for his child," and "He should fulfill his responsibilities as a father."

 

On the other hand, there are also fans who continue to appreciate his stage work and expressiveness, and public opinion is not monolithic. This incident also raises the difficult question of how to separate his reputation as an actor from issues in his private life.

 

 

 

8. Key points of this incident summarized in a Q&A
