A Big Couple Emerges from the World of Politics and Media: Shinjiro Koizumi and Christel Takigawa Get Married!
2019.08.07 published
Shinjiro Koizumi and Christel Takigawa Get Married and Announce Pregnancy!
On August 7, 2019, Shinjiro Koizumi (38), a member of Japan's House of Representatives from the Liberal Democratic Party, announced his marriage to freelance announcer Christel Takigawa (41).
Takigawa is currently pregnant and is said to be in her stable period, with the expected delivery set for early next year.
The sudden marriage of these two prominent figures in politics and journalism has drawn surprise and congratulations from many politicians, celebrities, and the public.
Congratulations!*
Reporting to Prime Minister Abe at the Official Residence.
It is reported that the couple has already visited the Prime Minister at the official residence to inform him of their marriage.
After that, they have also responded to questions from the press together.
Afternoon talk shows are likely to be filled with news about the couple for a while...!
【So, who are they?】
First, Shinjiro Koizumi is a 38-year-old member of the House of Representatives belonging to the Liberal Democratic Party.
His father is former Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi, and his older brother is actor Kohtaro Koizumi.
His political career began in 2008 when his father, Junichiro, announced his retirement from politics and named Shinjiro as his successor.
He received the endorsement of the Liberal Democratic Party and ran for the House of Representatives for the first time in the 2009 general election, winning his seat. He has since been elected again in the 2012, 2014, and 2017 House of Representatives elections.
During this period, he served as the head of the Young LDP, Deputy Minister of State in the Cabinet Office, Minister of Reconstruction, and head of the LDP Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Division,
and he has devoted himself to reconstruction efforts following the Great East Japan Earthquake and agricultural policy reform.
Currently, he is working towards a new social security system under the catchphrase, "Let's advance towards a 100-year life."
Christel Takigawa, the announcer, is half-Japanese, with a French father and a Japanese mother.
After graduating from Aoyama Gakuin University, she started her career as a caster at Kyodo Television, a subsidiary of Fuji Television.
She became a freelancer in 2009.
She has appeared on programs like “News JAPAN,” “Shin Hodo Premier A,” and “Mr. Sunday.”
And above all, the image of Christel Takigawa is strongly associated with "Omotenashi" (hospitality).
This was a memorable phrase she used during her presentation to promote Tokyo's bid for the Olympics at the IOC meeting in Buenos Aires in 2013, where she spoke in French and English. *
It was even awarded the buzzword prize and played a role in Tokyo's successful Olympic bid.
Since 2014, she has been actively involved in animal welfare activities to protect dogs and cats from being euthanized.
Being able to be my defenseless self*
The two met a few years ago as friends and began dating in 2018.
After becoming aware of each other's intention to marry, they started living together with Alice, a rescue dog adopted by Takigawa.
Koizumi stated,
"I was able to detach from the battlefield of politics, take off my armor, be liberated from fighting, and suddenly relax, allowing me to be my defenseless self, and I felt saved."
Takigawa said,
"As we spent time together, we became not only lovers but comrades and close friends. Every time I observed him in a natural, relaxed state, I felt his gentle and charming personality that is calm, kind, innocent, and more and more, I found myself getting drawn to him."
It seems they had never met outside or acted together before, and when they first visited his family, it brought them genuine happiness just being able to move together.*
