Actress Haruka Fukuhara and Japan national football team star Takefusa Kubo have announced their marriage, sending shockwaves of surprise and waves of congratulatory messages across the internet and social media.

Known affectionately since her childhood as "Main-chan" and beloved by fans for many years, Fukuhara's sudden announcement alongside Kubo, a driving force in Japanese football, created a massive buzz. Platforms like X (formerly Twitter) were flooded with shocked reactions, such as "No way!," "Main-chan getting married has to be a lie...," and "I can't believe Kubo-kun and Main-chan are tying the knot."

While some fans could not hide their sudden "Main-chan shock," a multitude of warm, congratulatory messages also poured in, with comments like "I've always loved her so I'm genuinely happy" and "She has grown into such a beautiful woman... Congratulations!" The unexpected birth of this powerhouse celebrity couple has the public wrapped in a celebratory mood that is likely to last for quite some time.

The context

In Japan, Haruka Fukuhara rose to fame as a child star, starring in the popular NHK educational cooking show "Cookin' Idol Ai! Mai! Main!" which earned her the lifelong nickname "Main-chan." Since then, she has successfully transitioned into a mainstream actress, starring in numerous TV dramas and films, including the NHK morning drama "Maiagare!". Takefusa Kubo is one of Japan's most prominent professional football players, currently shining in Europe's top-tier Spanish La Liga for Real Sociedad. Because both are massive cultural and sporting figures in Japan with squeaky-clean public images, their unexpected union has become the country's biggest entertainment headline.
