DAIGO and Keiko Kitagawa Ranked First for Four Consecutive Years

In a recent survey conducted by Omikare, a popular matchmaking site in Japan, DAIGO and Keiko Kitagawa have once again clinched the title of the "Ideal Celebrity Couple" for the year 2025. This marks the couple's fourth consecutive year at the top, demonstrating their enduring appeal among singles. The survey gathered responses from 875 members of Omikare, reflecting current trends in romantic intentions and desires among modern dating individuals.

The survey was part of a broader investigation into the realities of matchmaking in contemporary Japan, where Omikare leads with over one million registered users and holds the record for the highest number of matchmaking events such as parties and street conventions in the country. For this year’s ranking, categories included "Ideal Celebrity Couples", "Celebrities You Want to Date", and a new addition: "Women Celebrities That Women Admire". The findings revealed a strong inclination towards relationships based on mutual respect, support, and kindness, succinctly summarized as the concept of RSK (Respect, Support, Kindness).

1. Admired Female Celebrities: A Shift Towards Independence

The survey revealed a growing trend among women to admire female celebrities who embody independence. The top three admired figures were: 1. Keiko Kitagawa, known for her resolute character; 2. Yuki Amami, who serves as a role model for working women; and 3. Haruka Ayase, admired for her balance of charm and inner strength. This year's listings reflect a significant transformation in women's values, where being a strong, independent individual is seen as far more important than traditional ideals of beauty.

This is highlighted by the success of recent dramas such as "Jaa, Anta ga Tsukutte Miroyo", which celebrates women who prioritize their self-worth over societal expectations. Today's women are not just looking for the archetype of a perfect wife; they're seeking to carve out their own paths and assert their individuality.

2. Dating vs. Marriage: What People Really Want

The survey divided opinions on whether individuals prioritize excitement or stability when it comes to finding a partner. In the category of "Celebrities You Want to Date", the rankings showed preferences for those who offer authenticity and joy: 1. Haruka Ayase (her natural charm adds comfort); 2. Riho Yoshiyuki (who dazzles with her intelligence and brightness); and 3. Masami Nagasawa (who combines sophistication with warmth).

However, when the question turned to who participants would consider marrying, priorities shifted dramatically toward stability and security. Notably, while Meguro Ren was popular among daters, he dropped down the rankings for marriageable celebrity men, allowing the dependable Ryohei Suzuki to take the top spot. The shift reflects a clear distinction where women look for a partner who can provide emotional and practical support, a friend, and a confidant rather than just a source of excitement.

3. DAIGO and Keiko Kitagawa: The Quintessential Couple

Once again, DAIGO and Keiko Kitagawa's relationship exemplifies modern partnership ideals, maintaining their title of the top couple by a landslide. Their mutual respect for each other's professional endeavors and supportive roles in parenting and household responsibilities create a resonant model for others. DAIGO's involvement in childcare while Keiko shines in film and television reflects the essence of a contemporary dual-income family, fulfilling both partners' personal and shared goals.

Other notable couples included 2. Takashi Sorimachi and Nanako Matsushima, whose affectionate partnership remains a favorite; and 3. Shohei Ohtani and Manami Tanaka, whose recent transition to parenthood has deepened the warmth of their partnership, distinguishing them in audience appreciation.

4. The RSK Principle

The overarching theme from this survey points towards an emergent model of romantic partnership encapsulated in three key attributes: Respect, Support, and Kindness.

• - Respect (R): Couples must honor one another's paths and current undertakings.
• - Support (S): A successful partnership is characterized by teamwork and shared responsibilities, as seen in the relationships represented by DAIGO-Keiko and Ohtani-Tanaka.
• - Kindness (K): Small acts of consideration and thoughtfulness strengthen bonds.

This highlights that in today's society, enduring relationships are built on realistic expectations and genuine connections rather than idealistic fantasies.

Survey Summary

The survey was conducted from November 25 to December 10, 2025, involving 875 Omikare members, and served as a reflection of modern couples' aspirations and the attributes defining their ideal partners.
