No. 3 Maki Nishiyama and martial artist Koji: Intimate relationship and passionate street kissing after dinner with their children

One night in September, as autumn rain drizzled down.

A group of five adults and two children were enjoying themselves at a popular monja-yaki restaurant in Tokyo. The restaurant’s windows were so large that they were in full view from outside. Passersby stopped to look and saw a slender, beautiful woman. It was Maki Nishiyama, 36, a former “CanCam” model.

After having affairs with former “KAT-TUN” member Jin Akanishi (38) and others, Nishiyama married Taichi Saotome (30), a star of popular theater, in 2001, and they had two daughters, but things did not go well as reported in a huge street brawl. They divorced in 1919.

Recently, however, she seems to have put an end to that life, and actively discloses on social networking sites the happy life she is leading with her daughters, now in elementary school and kindergarten, and her favorite car, a Cherokee. She has established herself as a “cool mamatare,” and her media exposure is increasing.

Shortly after 1:00 am, a little kid came running out of the store. It appears to be Nishiyama’s eldest daughter. A macho man appears next. The third one is Nishiyama, who is very unsteady on his feet. He staggered up to the macho man, and their lips met.

A few moments later, as his drinking companions came out of the bar, Nishiyama quickly stepped backwards to get away from them.

At that moment, the macho man’s face was illuminated by the streetlight. In the darkness, the face of Koji (33), a fantasista in the fighting world, appeared.

This magazine has reported on Koji’s cohabitation with the beautiful professional golfer Rikako Morita (32) and his secret hotel meetings with Ai Aoki (37), a former representative of Japan’s artistic swimming team. Is the self-proclaimed “I’m so popular, I can’t get enough of it” man expanding his field of activity into the entertainment world?

Nishiyama is known as a martial arts enthusiast, having appeared as a play-by-play navigator in the 2010 K-1 tournament, and he has also challenged boxing on his YouTube channel. His daughter is also fond of Koji, and in August they went on a trip to Wakayama and stayed at a luxury hotel. In August, they went on a trip to Wakayama and stayed at a luxury hotel, where they saw pandas at “Adventure World.

If he has a celebrity as a chauffeur, his popularity will be enhanced. When this magazine went to visit Koji to congratulate him, however, it was met with an unexpected sight. The day before their street kiss in front of a monja-yaki restaurant, Koji had kissed another beautiful woman. Moreover, at a gas station …….

We directly interviewed Koji.

–You are dating Mr. Nishiyama, aren’t you?

Friday?　What’s up again?”

–I heard you took a trip to Wakayama.

“With Maki’s kids and all my friends. We went to see pandas with a lot of people. I met Maki last year through a friend of mine, and we’ve been friends as a family ever since. She even came to the “RIZIN” match with her mother and son to cheer me on. I have a lot of respect for him as a person.

–On the day of the monja-yaki, did you and Nishiyama kiss?

Aah?　That day we got together with the members from the Wakayama trip and had a lot of fun. Maki was also a bit tipsy, so I guess I gave her a kiss as if I was saying “thanks for today” to her like an American greeting (laughs).

–(Laughs) – Nishiyama-san’s child seems to have taken to him quite well.

He’s a very nice boy, very cute. I’m the Don Juan of the martial arts world, …… but I think it’s time to stop acting like one.

–He was kissing another beautiful woman.

I’m a ‘Don Juan of the martial arts. But I’ll tell you this. I will always make the women I decide to do this with happy!　I’ll announce it soon. I’ll report it to Friday first. I’m sorry I’ve been living my life on instinct!　I mean, I know you like women, so just leave me alone (laughs).

When asked who was his true love, he replied, “I’m popular!　I’m so popular!” He left with a high laugh. At any rate, we look forward to the announcement in the near future.
