Former AKB48 member Rina Kawaei announced her marriage with actor Tomoki Hirose on Friday. The pair married six months ago and are expecting their first child by the end of the year. Kawaei said that she will continue working as long as her health remains stable and apologizes to her fans for revealing the news so late.

Kawaei and Hirose were co-stars in the romantic drama Karephone last October, which is also how they met.

She provided voices for the characters Mini Firuru in PriPara Movie: Mi~nna no Akogare♪ Let's Go☆Prix Paris and Risa in the 2018 film Pokemon Movie: Minna no Monogatari (Pokemon the Movie: The Power of Us). Kawaei will also have a main role voicing Hinako Mukaimizu in Masaaki Yuasa's upcoming anime film Kimi to, Nami ni Noretara (Ride Your Wave).

Some of her live-action roles include Izumi Shimomura from Ajin, Sakura Aoi from Death Note: Light Up the New World, and Minami Hirano from Yunagi no Machi Sakura no Kuni (2018).

LOL What makes this story newsworthy is beyond me since it's not related to anime/manga. I mean who cares, don't know even who they are actually.

She voiced several anime characters, he's a 2.5D actor. Reasons enough I'd say.

Actually she is not. She is an actress who happens to be involved in voicing few anime characters. Her official profession is actress.

Ah, I see. Thanks for pointing it out.

Like i said before, neither of them has anything to do with anime/manga (just have looked up on google, one is actor, other is ex-idol member) so who cares about them since this site is all about anime and manga. Not a news portal about actor and actresses. Seiyuu news are completely understandable since they're belong to anime/manga industry. Anyway i won't go any further to explain myself. Have a nice day.
