Nakamura Hashinosuke, 29, the “prince of the Kabuki world,” said as if biting his tongue: “As an actor and as a man, I will take care of my customers, my family, my friends, and Aimi, and build a wonderful family. Hashinosuke is the eldest son of Nakamura Shikan (60) and his wife Mita Hiroko (59), the current head of the prestigious Narikomaya kabuki troupe. On November 10, Hashinosuke announced his engagement to actress Nojo Aimi (age 31), a former member of idol group Nogizaka46. On the same day, he held an engagement press conference in front of a golden folding screen at a hotel in Tokyo with a large number of entertainment reporters. Hashinosuke told the audience how they first met in a musical they performed together in 2021, and how he proposed to her in Hawaii. During the press conference, Hashinosuke stared at Nojo and fixed her hair and kimono. Hashinosuke’s lovey-dovey press conference, which showed how much he loves Nojo, was met with positive feedback on social networking sites, I will devote myself to supporting Hashinosuke so that I can stand by his side and support him,” Nojo said of her decision to become a bride. What kind of person is this woman who has chosen to become the wife of a promising Kabuki actor? She is a first-term student of Nogizaka46 and a member of the “Hana no ’94 group,” which includes many popular members who have remained active after graduation, such as Nanase Nishino. As an only child, she had a typical “stage mom” and from an early age, she dreamed of a career in show business and went to many auditions. However, she was unable to make her mark, and gradually began appearing in stage productions when she was in junior high school. At that time, she was also a member of a local idol group and tried her hand at sexy swimsuit gravure. In 2011, when she was 16 years old, she passed an audition for Nogizaka46. Although she made her debut, her popularity as an idol was not good, and she did not break through after that, graduating from the group in 2018. After shifting her focus to the stage, she blurted out to those around her that her income had dropped dramatically. However, he was always honest by nature and had a “masculine” personality without pretense, which made him popular among the opposite sex of his generation. Hashinosuke may have been attracted to her experience of hardship from childhood and her unpretentious personality. When Nojo and Hashinosuke’s relationship was first reported, Hashinosuke had a woman named Ms. A whom he was thinking of marrying, so I was very surprised. I wonder what Mr. A thinks now after seeing their happy press conference. ……
