Totsugi Shigeyuki & Ichikawa Yui get married after dating for 1 year and 2 months

Totsugi Shigeyuki and Ichikawa Yui got married on 8 September after dating for 1 year and 2 months and announced it through their official websites 2 days later. The couple met last spring while working on the NHK BS Premium drama "Owanko TV" and started dating in July the same year. As for the reason why the couple chose to get married on 8 September, it was the birthday of Totsugi's late mother.

In Totsugi's statement, he commented that he had been branded as a guy who could never be able to get married so he never imagined that he could make such an announcement. Nonetheless, it had been 41 long years before he could do so. Totsugi said that as he and Ichikawa are working in the same industry, there are many things which they can identify with and understand . In addition, Ichikawa's cheerful character has helped him in many ways so he hopes to do the same for her and that they can progress together in life.
