Ebizo Ichikawa, Mao Kobayashi getting engaged

Kabuki actor Ebizo Ichikawa (31) and free announcer Mao Kobayashi (27) are in a serious relationship, it was learned on Thursday. In a fax sent to the media, they revealed that they plan to get formally engaged in the near future.

Speaking to reporters in front of his home, Ichikawa said he proposed at the end of June, and that they first met last December. They met when Ichikawa appeared as a guest on NTV’s “NEWS ZERO,” on which Kobayashi is a newscaster.

The dates for their engagement and wedding ceremonies have not yet been decided, but based on the schedules of Ichikawa and his father, actor Danjuro Ichikawa (63), it seems likely that the engagement will take place during December.
