On Christmas Day…Tokyo Olympics gold medalist Abe Hifumi and Rina Hashimoto, a “too-black gradol” (♡♡), were photographed living together.

On a Christmas afternoon last year, a couple was walking in a residential area in Tokyo. The man was wearing a black hoodie and damaged jeans. The woman was wearing a white knit and a gray skirt. The man had a slightly hunched leg and strong legs that looked as if his jeans were about to be ripped off. The woman, on the other hand, is also evidently in great style.

The man in this standout couple is Abe Hifumi, 25, who won the gold medal in men’s judo at the Tokyo Olympics in the 66kg division. Many of you may remember him from the semifinals of the Olympics, where he won by ippon of back-support throw just a little over two minutes into the competition. The woman is Rina Hashimoto, 29, a gravure idol known as the “Black Diamond of Naniwa” for her attractive wheat-colored skin.

The two were reported to be dating in September of last year in Bunshun Online. They met through an acquaintance and have been dating since last spring. However, when the dating report was published, it was also reported that Abe has a bad drinking habit and likes women, and some people said that it was not a serious relationship.

When they entered a convenience store that day, Abe picked up a shopping basket and put bottles of tea and soda into the basket in a familiar manner. Rather than a shopping date, they seemed to have come here to buy daily necessities. They entered an apartment building together.

They are currently living together in an apartment in Tokyo. The apartment has a spacious layout and allows pets, making it a popular place for celebrities. Perhaps they are influenced by living together, but recently they have both been wearing the same fashions.

The January 19 issue of “FRIDAY” and the pay-per-view website “FRIDAY GOLD” carried details of their life together and a direct interview with Abe.
