Hashinosuke, the eldest son of Shikan Nakamura (60) and Hiroko Mita (59), made his first stage appearance in 2000, at the age of 4 at the time, and has since gone on to become a Kabuki actor. He first met Nojo in the 2021 musical “Poe’s Family,” in which they appeared as husband and wife. In the same year, “Josei Seven” reported on Hashinosuke and Nojo’s passionate love affair. After rehearsing for a stage play, Hashinosuke met up with Nojo in Tokyo and enjoyed a dinner date at a high-class yakiniku restaurant before heading to her home. On another day, when reporters directly interviewed the couple as they walked hand in hand around Nojo’s home, Hashinosuke did not deny their relationship. Hashinosuke also mentioned at the press conference that he was “impatient and anxious” about whether he could be like his father, a great Kabuki actor.
Mother Hiroko Mita’s Thoughts Behind the Engagement
It is said that it was Hashinosuke and Nojo’s mother who gave them the push they needed. According to a person related to the pears garden, “Hiroko Mita used to be an idol, too. A person involved in the nazon (Japanese theatrical company) said, “Hiroko Mita, who was once an idol, married Mr. Shikan. She supported Nojo, who had the same background as her, with a sense of affinity, saying, ‘You came from the same idol background as me. In recent years, there have been reports of Mr. Shikan’s infidelity, but Ms. Mita is determined that she will never divorce him. In fact, at the press conference, Nojo said that Mita gave her his backing, saying, “No matter what happens, I will do my best to protect Ai, so you can trust me and rest assured. As for Hashinosuke, it was reported by “Sports Nippon” on New Year’s Day in 2020 that he was “about to get married” to a former number one geisha in Gion, Kyoto, but he and this woman broke up quickly. In fact, there were circumstances in which Mr. Mita was opposed to the relationship. When Mr. Shikan’s first affair was reported by “Shukan Bunshun” in 2016, it was whispered …… that the fact that the other woman was a geiko may have had an influence. In that sense, Mr. Mita probably feels a sense of kinship and trust with Ms. Nojo, who has the same idol background as himself and has worked at the forefront of the industry.
Even though Shikan has repeatedly committed adultery, Mita has always maintained her dignity, uploading a photo of her family of five on Instagram in July of this year, saying, “Yesterday was my nephew’s wedding ceremony, even with family in the waiting room, high cheese. The wedding ceremony and reception, with members of Narikomaya celebrating Hashinosuke and Nojo’s future, is expected to be a grand affair.
