While she once loved talking about her breakthrough series, nowadays, talking about it "gives her a headache". From early 90s forward, Keiko Nagita and her illustrator Yumiko Igarashi kept arguing over who owned the rights to the ''Candy Candy'' title and have been arguing back and forth for ages. It's still on-going, and bringing it up to her in the current is considered very tone-deaf.
She has a husband and a daughter. She still writes stories to this day.

Because ''Candy'' received GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff status in many countries, Nagita has made many appearances at cons and events, like in UsefulNotes/{{France}}. France was also the country where the final ''Candy'' chapter was written.

*RealitySubtext: ''Candy'' is based on her own trauma of losing her parents at a young age. According to "Interviews with Manga Authors" by Itou Ayako:

To write the story healed my sorrow"; "Before I wrote the story of Candy, one of what some decided was "Who is her mother is not the theme". Whoever are your parents, you must accept your destiny and stand on your own feet---I wanted to say so. When I started to write the story, it was two years after my mother passed away.
