Kabuki actor Nakamura Hashinosuke and former Nogizaka46 member Manami Nojo held their wedding ceremony and reception at the Hotel New Otani in Tokyo [1].
The union brings together two prominent figures from different spheres of Japanese entertainment, the traditional world of Kabuki and the modern idol industry.
Hashinosuke, 30, and Nojo, 31, addressed the media during a marriage conference to share their feelings about their new life together [1]. While the couple celebrated their wedding ceremony on Nov. 30, 2025 [1], they had previously filed their marriage registration in March 2025 [1].
During the event, the couple spoke about the mutual support that drove their decision to marry [1]. Hashinosuke described the impact his new wife has on his professional and personal drive.
"The fact that she is marrying into my family has become my power," Hashinosuke said [1].
Nojo expressed similar gratitude for the emotional stability provided by the relationship. She said that the partnership provides a sanctuary during difficult times.
"When I felt like I was about to give up, he wrapped me in kindness. I think every day that I am glad I married Hashinosuke-san," Nojo said [1].
Prior to the ceremony, Nojo had shared her excitement about joining the Nakamura family. In a previous statement, she said she had happily become "Nakamura" Manami [2].
The wedding took place in Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo, at the Hotel New Otani [1]. The couple's public appearance marks the formalization of a relationship that began months before the official ceremony [1].
“"The fact that she is marrying into my family has become my power."”
The marriage of Nakamura Hashinosuke to Manami Nojo represents a crossing of cultural boundaries within the Japanese celebrity landscape. By linking a traditional Kabuki lineage with a former idol from the highly commercialized Nogizaka46 ecosystem, the union blends hereditary prestige with contemporary pop-culture influence.
