TBS announcer Kengo Komada revealed on Friday that he and former sportscaster Shiho Takahashi have divorced. The pair married in 2004 after having worked together on TBS's television program "Express."

Neither Komada nor his agency provided further details, such as when or why it happened.

The sumo world's most recent scandal has led the Japan Sumo Association to dismiss stablemaster Tokitsukaze, while the association chairman Kitanoumi punished himself with a 50 percent pay cut for four months. Other committee members have taken 30 percent salary reductions for three months.

On June 26, 17-year-old junior wrestler Takashi Saito (who wrestled under the name of Tokitaizan) died during a training session, apparently the result of hazing. According to investigations, several senior wrestlers from the stable had severely beaten him while Tokitsukaze refused to intervene. Tokitsukaze even admitted hitting Saito on the head with a beer bottle the day before his death.

It is expected that police will bring a criminal case against Tokitsukaze and the other wrestlers involved in Saito's beating.

On Friday, TBS revealed that 31-year-old announcer Fumiyasu Sato and 29-year-old actress Mireiyu are married. They were introduced to each other three years ago by sports commentator Tsugiharu Ogiwara. On May 6 of this year they officially married, but they are holding a wedding reception this Sunday.

MBS Television announcer Hiroko Matsukawa is currently pregnant and is expected to give birth next March. She plans to continue working up until her delivery, as well as after the child is born.

Matsukawa married a fellow MBS Television employee in January 2005.
