They met 2 years ago in Mongolia and it developed into a (long distance) relation.

inhashi 2,363 Posted August 27, 2017 (edited) Following Tochinoshin and Aoiyama, another Kasugano beya sekitori was married in June. Tochiozan and his bride submitted the marriage registration 6/27 with the wedding reception yet to be scheduled. He and his wife (Yamamoto, Seri 山本せりさん) are expecting their first child next month in September. Maybe another "dekikon" shotgun wedding? Well, it was nice news to hear A press conference will follow very shortly. Pic update: Edited August 28, 2017 by inhashi 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WAKATAKE 2,412 Posted August 28, 2017 What amazes me is how people are able to keep things under wraps in Japan until the right time. In the US the media would have swooped in like vultures the moment they caught wind of one tweet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In the US the media would have swooped in like vultures the moment they caught wind of one tweet. I've had like 4~5 Japanese friends who call up some girl they met at a christmas party for 15 minutes two years ago, send Line messages back and forth to agree on stuff, then they meet for a weekend and submit all the papers. They don't even hang out much even after that until they move in. Maybe its cause its the age (mid 30s) where people who aren't married yet really want to get married and don't care much about dating or whatever. The baby isn't a 'mistake' or anything like that, it is done quite on purpose with the understanding the marriage is pretty much locked in already. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, it was nice news to hear A press conference will follow very shortly. Some info from the press conference: The marriage registration was June 19th, as got known on the 27th. The following basho he had 12 wins, tying his personal best from the yusho doten (Kyokutenho). Seri (30 like him) is from Otsu city, Shiga, and works at a company. She is the daughter of a friend of an individual koenkai member. It was love on first sight when they dined together in 2013 at an invitation of this member. They started a relation about one year later, she also was there to support him when he dislocated his shoulder in Nagoya 2014 and went kyujo. http://www.hochi.co.jp/sports/sumo/20170828-OHT1T50142.html He had planned to marry her and the child was the trigger to do it. http://www.nikkansports.com/battle/sumo/news/1879184.html Edited August 30, 2017 by Akinomaki 3 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Akinomaki 37,011 Posted September 1, 2017 (edited) Kyokutaisei (27) announced his engagement to Yoshie Kobayashi (26) from Taito ward, Tokyo, helping (her parents) at home. He fell in love with her at first sight when they met in 2012, introduced by a friend, and she thought "An awfully good looking guy" - it developed at once into a close relation. He wanted to propose to her when he reached his personal height of j3 in Natsu, but postponed it because of makekoshi. Then after kachikoshi in Nagoya he proposed to her at the senshuraku party. Both are born on the 18th and thus they decided to register the marriage on Sep. 18th, the wedding reception is planned for Feb. 17th. She happily showed her engagement ring at the press conference in Tomozuna-beya, at the price of 4 months of his salary (about 4 million Yen). http://www.sponichi.co.jp/sports/news/2017/09/01/kiji/20170901s00005000237000c.html o Edited September 1, 2017 by Akinomaki 3 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Johnofuji 231 Posted October 2, 2017 Ishiura's wedding was awesome. His bride was very charming and stunningly beautiful. Some of the kids from her nursery came and sang to us. My seat was right next to Hakuho and his lovely wife Sayoko. On the next table there was Kyokutenho, Miyabiyama, and Kaio. There were also about 20 rikishi including Kaisei, Ichinojo, Satoyama just to name a few. Lots of Nichidai amasumo. The after party was fun and got a little rowdy with some slightly camp sumo parody entertainment. The food was delicious with many courses by one of the Iron Chefs. I ate Hakuho's dessert to see if it will give me super human strength. It seems to be working as I don't have the hangover that I deserve. 8 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
