Former AKB48 member/singer/actress Itano Tomomi and Yakult Swallows pitcher Takahashi Keiji have gotten married.

The two announced their marriage through Itano’s Instagram.

Itano wrote that they got married on January 5th and met through a common friend and have been dating for a year and a half.

According to her agency, the ceremony and reception are undecided and the two are living together.

This will be the fourth person of the original AKB48 Kami 7 who have gotten married after Maeda Atsuko, Shinoda Mariko and Takahashi Minami.

Itano said of her new husband, “He has an innocent and honest personality like a boy, and he always tells me things like a straight ball, but I naturally want to be with him in the future because he always looks at me seriously.  Our hearts support each other and that can never be changed.  I am also inspired by his attitude to work hard everyday.  I will do my best to support him as well.  And I think that being a married couple makes us the best ally in the world.  From now on, I would like to support each other at the top, the grow up and build a family.  We are still inexperienced, but we would appeciate if you could support us”.
