Wow. I saw this on Twitter and didn't pay much attention to it. The age gap, tho. I'm blown away. lol

Third times the charm. Congrats to the GOAT, Yama, and Okada. She now has a 1st row seat to hearing the #1 seiyuu of all time say "Kuruzo".

I don't think the age gap is a big deal on its own.
But with his divorce history it does come off like he gets rid of his wives for younger models.

That's...kind of the impression I got as well. There was a similar substantial (but not as large as the current) age gap between himself and Rie Tanaka. He and his first wife were roughly the same age.

This is his third marriage, there's a big age gap, and she seemed a little unsure at first...but congratulations nevertheless.

He must be as smooth with the ladies as Kaji himself.

Feels like only recently when he was still married to Rie Tanaka. I'm just saying. The guy is an excellent voice actor, but he strikes me as a womanizer and refuses to just settle down.

Hard to judge without knowing him, but he is exhibiting some classic narcissist behavior.

I wish her the best, I just hope she doesn't get too burned if (or more like when) he'll lose interest and find another.
