The announcement yesterday was at the temple. They know each other since he entered the heya and have a relation since January this year, when he told her on the phone: "I want to make it my final love (affair)." They at first had a long distance relationship, dated in Kyoto in March. He is famous for his good looks and was the one holding the female fans in his arms together with Endo. They want to register the marriage in a few days, start living together in Tokyo in January and plan to have the ceremony in June or July. She already has quit the food company where she had worked. He: "I'm a professional eater. It's super." Hakkaku-oyakata: "I want him to forget it, get fired up and do keiko that convinces those around him."
