Masanori Ishii (36), the "boke" of the comedy duo Ari to Kirigirisu, has just tied the knot, marrying a 31-year-old OL working in the Kanagawa prefecture.

According to Ishii's agency, the couple first met in June 2005 through a mutual friend, and they started seriously dating a few months later. Already living together, they submitted their marriage registration on Wednesday. They have no plans for a wedding ceremony or reception.

This is actually Ishii's second marriage, as he was married to former comedienne Kana Kanemura (of VERSUS) from 1999 to 2005.
