Kazlaser, a member of the comedic duo “Maple Chogokin,” announced his marriage to actress Fumi Nikaido on social media on October 10. This announcement has sparked considerable conversation online, particularly since it coincides with the news that the TV Asahi variety show “Kaji Yarou!!!,” where both Kazlaser and Nikaido appeared, is set to conclude in July.
In his official post, Kazlaser shared a joint message stating, “We, Kazlaser and Fumi Nikaido, would like to announce our marriage.” He acknowledged their strong personalities and individual quirks, expressing hopes for a cheerful home where they can both face challenges and celebrate together.
The show, featuring Kazlaser alongside Bakarythm and Yuichi Nakamaru of KAT-TUN, garnered popularity by showcasing the journeys of these three novice homemakers learning basic household skills. It began in April 2018 in a late-night time slot before moving to primetime in 2021.
Notably, both of Kazlaser’s co-hosts are also married; Bakarythm tied the knot with former idol group member Nemu Yumemiru in December 2019, while Nakamaru married former news anchor Rina Sasazaki in January of last year. With Kazlaser’s recent announcement, all three hosts of “Kaji Yarou!!!” are now formally married.
Online reactions to Kazlaser’s marriage included remarks about the show’s transition, such as “Now all the members of Kaji Yarou are married,” and humorous notes about the show concluding as Kazlaser enters a new chapter in his life. Daisuke Iizuka, the show’s writer, even humorously suggested that this might be an exciting new beginning for the show rather than an end.
This joyful news reflects a culmination of personal and professional developments for Kazlaser, marking a new chapter for him and his colleagues as they all embrace married life. The combination of these events adds a sense of warmth and camaraderie, highlighting how personal milestones can intertwine beautifully with professional journeys.
