1. Reasons for Keiji Kuroki's retirement

 

In October 2022, Keiji Kuroki ended his career as a performer for EXILE and the second generation J Soul Brothers. The reason he gave for his retirement was his desire to "properly support his family."

At the time, he had remarried his wife, Reika Miyazaki (December 2021), and this decision came as he was building a new family. His decision to leave the entertainment industry, much to the regret of his fans, is still talked about today.

 

 

2. The circumstances surrounding his marriage to his wife, Reika Miyazaki, and the tax evasion case.

The circumstances of the marriage

Keiji Kuroki and Reika Miyazaki (38 years old, also known as Reika Kuroki) announced their marriage in December 2021. This was Miyazaki's third marriage.

Miyazaki is a businesswoman and also known as a beauty influencer with 470,000 followers, who shared her glamorous celebrity lifestyle on social media, including luxury goods from Hermes, Ferraris, and overseas travel. After remarrying Kuroki, the couple's affectionate photos increased, and they were blessed with two sons in quick succession in 2023 and 2024.

The discovery of a tax evasion case

The situation changed dramatically in December 2025. Miyazaki was indicted while at home for allegedly conspiring with an acquaintance to reduce his income by approximately 500 million yen by using methods such as recording fictitious business outsourcing expenses, thereby evading approximately 157 million yen in corporate taxes and other taxes.

At the initial trial held on March 18, 2026, Ms. Miyazaki admitted to all of the charges.

Divorce discussions are underway.

As of April 2026, sources in the entertainment industry have reported that Keiji Kuroki and Reika Miyazaki are in discussions toward divorce.

Immediately after reports of tax evasion surfaced, Ms. Kuroki traveled to Hawaii with her children. Mr. Miyazaki, who had been indicted, remained in Japan, effectively resulting in a separation between the couple.

Upon returning to Japan, Miyazaki reportedly did not offer to reconcile, but rather to break up. This came as a complete surprise to Kuroki, but Miyazaki's resolve was firm, and both parties moved to discussions through their lawyers. Kuroki is said to have left her home in Tokyo alone and is unable to see her child.

Couple photos deleted from Instagram en masse

On March 8, 2026, Keiji Kuroki deleted almost all of his photos of himself and Miyazaki, as well as family photos, from his Instagram account. This action caught the attention of many fans and was widely seen as an indication of a change in their marital relationship.

6. What are the cryptic posts on Instagram?

In April 2026, Keiji Kuroki caused a stir by posting the following text on his Instagram Stories.

 

"To everyone who has been supporting me for a long time, I always read all of your DMs and encouraging comments, and they give me courage. Thank you so much. There are still many things I want to say, but first of all, thank you, thank you, thank you."

 

The post attracted particular attention for the phrase "There's a lot I want to say," and while some harsh comments such as "It's only going to make him look bad" were posted online, many others expressed concern, asking "Is Keiji okay?"

Furthermore, there were posts suggesting that she was staying in Miyazaki Prefecture around the same time, making it almost certain that she had left her home in Tokyo and returned to her hometown.
