Seiyuu Suzuko Mimori and New Japan Pro Wrestling's Kazuchika Okada announced on Friday that they have gotten married after being in a relationship for a year.

Mimori debuted as a voice actress in 2010 and landed a main role in the Tantei Opera Milky Holmes franchise as Sherlock Shellingford and the Love Live franchise as Umi Sonoda, reprising her role for the anime project three years later. Her other roles include Himawari Furutani from Yuru Yuri, Nanami Momozono from Kamisama Hajimemashita, and Kanae Shinjou from Teekyuu. She recently starred in Shoujo☆Kageki Revue Starlight, SSSS.Gridman, and the Winter 2019 anime Hulaing Babies.

Her husband has minor voice acting roles in World Trigger and Future Card Buddyfight Hundred.

I don't believe that she married with pro wrestling, not with another seiyuu.

Le sora tokui and muse casts : congrats, umi chan for your marriage.

You're just some otaku, Okada is a 6'4' chiseled out of granite giant and is undeniably the best wrestler on the planet.

He could probably take your head off with a Rainmaker in his sleep.

I really wanted her to marry some rich producer or a rich director, not some pro wrestler. She's the second one after that other seiyuu who switched her career to pro wrestling. I don't want that happen to Mimori-San. She deserves more she's beautiful great at singing and is a very good seiyuu.


He's not "some pro wrestler", he's the longest reigning IWGP champion, ever, period. And easily the greatest wrestler in the world, and the top guy of NJPW which is owned by Bushiroad (also owns Love Live! School Idol Project.)

Also the two clearly love each other and are happy. Okada is a fan of her work, and she's a HUGE wrestling fan.
okay if he's that good.

Nice Easter egg is that in the mobage for Revue Starlight the latest event in the JP server is a wedding one where Hikari the character Mimorin voices is a bride

It took a love arrow to pierce the heart of the Rainmaker! Congratulations to the both of you perfect people! <3

Wha... What...? My waifu Umi got married... No.... NOO!!! I thought we were always gonna be together! *sobs* I though you loved me!!!!! *sob sob* *cuts wrists and chugs down lighter fluid*


For reals though, I think they jumped the gun way too fast. The guy broke up with his girlfriend of 4 years after getting engaged (Don't know the whole story there though, from what I could gather with this blasted English Google is that she wanted to him to commit more of his time with her since they're going to be husband and wife, but his schedule didn't let him) Hopefully marriage isn't the one that screws up their relationship. Best of luck to both of them, and congratulations.

It is sad that some people can not distinguish fiction from reality, and transfer their possessive attitude to the characters on real people. I don’t even know that it’s more disgusting that people try to express their “love” to their idols by trying to drive them into fictional ships, or seeing the idea of ​​“making” Mimori a lesbian as an opportunity to protect her from other men.


Indeed its an unfortunate dark side to Japan's popular culture.
I just hope that these crazies will just realise the truth and stop pestering Mimori and let her enjoy her new life.


I agree, even if she were a simple woman, and not a talented seiyuu, she still has the right to be happy with the person with whom she wants.

So, my congratulations to the newlyweds.

Wow excellent news indeed
Congrats to them
I hope that their marriage will be a stable and loving one.
And please pay attention to those haters who are no doubt seething with hatred that their idol will be graduating from their hearts.
