Saeki Hinako reportedly preparing to divorce her husband Oku Daisuke

Actress Saeki Hinako is reportedly preparing to file for divorce from her husband Oku Daisuke who is also a former player of Japan's national soccer team after the latter was arrested for making death threats against his wife on 6 June. According to insiders, Oku who is still under custody at Totsuka Police Station for investigations, and Saeki have both engaged lawyers to start the divorce proceedings discussions.

Saeki commented that she does not feel hatred only towards her husband of 11 years and hopes that both parties can restart their lives when it's still possible thus she does not plan to fill any charges against him. Both parties reportedly hope to reach an agreement before Oku is due to be released on 27 June.

Oku was arrested in his parents' house at Amagasaki City, Hyogo Prefecture, because he called Saeki on 4 June and threatened to kill her. Saeki had also filed a report saying that she had been subjected to domestic violence after the arrest. It was reported that even before the couple got married in 2002, Oku had the tendency of flaring up easily as he was also suspicious about Saeki seeing someone else. These outbursts allegedly escalated into acts of violence after marriage.
