The two voice actors released a joint statement thanking their supporters and colleagues.
This is a sudden announcement, but we, Maaya Uchida and Kaito Ishikawa, have gotten married.
We would like to express our deepest gratitude to all our fans and colleagues who have supported us, as it is thanks to your continued support we have been able to continue our careers in entertainment up to now. We have been able to get to this day thanks to the warm support we have received from everyone.
As fellow members of the entertainment industry, we are important to each other, sharing mutual understanding and respect for our work. As we have spent more time together, we strongly felt we want to walk through life together, and have therefore decided to take a new step in the form of marriage.
As we reach this new milestone in our lives, we will strive to grow more than ever with a sense of responsibility and as people and voice actors. We hope to develop richer experiences and sensibilities through married life and apply them in our future roles.
We are both inexperienced, but we ask for your continued support and guidance. We would appreciate it if you would continue to warmly watch over us.
