Actress Takako Tokiwa (20th Century Boys) and producer Keishi Nagatsuka have tied the knot. The couple announced their marriage on Tokiwa’s homepage, in a note pledging that they would “bind our souls together and slowly, yet deliberately, walk together through life.” Tokiwa, 37, who denied rumors that she is pregnant, said she’d continue with her career, and promptly took part in a kimono fashion show hosted by a fabric industry association. Tokiwa met Nagatsuka, 34, who formed the Asagaya Spiders theatrical group, on the set of the 2003 movie Get Up!
