Gorō Inagaki (稲垣　吾郎 Inagaki Gorō?) is a member of the Japanese pop idol group SMAP. His career began while he was in junior high school when his sister entered his picture to a talent company. Soon, Gorō was chosen to be part of one of the most famous groups in Japan, SMAP. The band proved to be popular in Japanese entertainment and Gorō became a star. His first movie was in 1990 with Saraba itoshino yakuza. In 1993, Gorō got his first taste of international films when he was chosen as the male lead in the romantic comedy Private Lessons II as a Japanese student who falls for his tutor. The film also had SMAP leader Masahiro Nakai. In 1994, Gorō appeared with fellow SMAP member Takuya Kimura in Shoot. Gorō continued making films until 1999, but still continues with SMAP today, mainly concentrating on music.

In 2001, Inagaki was involved in a traffic altercation. He was charged with assault of a police officer during a hit-and-run after he tried to escape when she gave him a parking ticket.[1] Ingaki was temporarily suspended from all public appearances by Johnny & Associates but SMAP itself continued to perform during concerts at that time.
