Sanada spotted alone

A fan spotted Hiroyuki Sanada walking alone, probably coming back from picking up his mail at the end of his several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of June 9, 2026. Was he all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “He was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”

Is Hiroyuki back on the market?

A rep for Hiroyuki Sanada was not immediately available for comment.

Truth or rumor, when news that the actor was splitting hit the internet Wednesday (June 10), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:

“Has anyone Hiroyuki’s phone number?”
