Some time ago, we reported a rumor that the voice actress for Hanamaru from Love Live! Sunshine!!, Takatsuki Kanako, had married an Indian man. This began when she was tagged in photos that appeared to be from a wedding in India.
As you can see in the photo that was saved before her account became private, Takatsuki Kanako is pictured next to what looked like her groom. At the time, many theories arose about whether she had really married an Indian man and whether he was very wealthy.
Today she finally decided to tell the whole story.
Love Live Voice Actress Confirms Marriage to Indian Man
She posted a vídeo on her YouTube channel explaining everything to her fans. According to the video, here are the confirmed details:
Takatsuki Kanako is indeed married to an Indian man, and the wedding took place in India.
She chose not to reveal the marriage earlier because everyone was preparing for the end of Aqours.
Her husband came to Japan to attend university and now works at a Japanese company as an ordinary employee.
The two met at a small party hosted by a mutual friend, and the rest is history. He is neither royalty nor extremely rich—the lavish ceremony simply reflects Indian wedding traditions, which can make anyone look like royalty.
She mentioned that around 200 people attended the wedding and that she plans to release a vlog about India soon.
Her Instagram already features several photos taken in India. So, a beloved Love Live voice actress is now happily married to an Indian man. Here’s a glimpse of how some Japanese fans reacted:
She married an ordinary Indian man who has lived in Japan for over 10 years. In India, grand weddings are common, so even regular people dress like royalty. She ate so much Indian food she can’t handle any more.
“Stop badmouthing the guy.”
She was upset with people making negative comments about Indians.
“Will the fans who were criticizing change their minds now?”
Some fans simply didn’t want to admit she married an Indian man—wonder how they feel now.
“As long as she’s not restricted, it’s fine.”
“I thought India might be strict for women, but I’m glad his family is understanding.”
“The criticism started even before the news spread.”
“Some were even joking that her husband was an ‘oil king,’ haha.”
“Is the dog Indian too? Indian dogs are cute.”
“Didn’t he graduate from Meiji University? He’s probably smarter than many here, don’t mock him.”
“Her partner must be a good man. Since the marriage and the group’s disbandment, she has matured a lot and earned even more respect.”
Everything seems to be just fine!
