<p><strong> I would like to take this opportunity to inform you all. Papa and I have decided to part ways.&#8221;</strong></p>
<p> On August 7, Misako Tanaka (63) updated her Instagram page and announced that she and Kuniyuki Fukasawa (56) of the comedy duo Take2 had divorced. As for Fukasawa,</p>
<p><strong> &#8216;It&#8217;s been more than 33 years since I met my dad, a college student. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you.&#8221;</strong></p>
<p> She added a message of gratitude to Fukasawa, saying, &#8220;We met as college students.</p>
<p><strong> They met when Fukasawa, a college student, passed an audition for a comedian training school hosted by Kinichi Hagimoto (82) and joined Asai Planning. At the time, Tanaka was the signature actress of Asai Kikaku. Later, the two moved to &#8220;Sato Kikaku,&#8221; which was independent of Asai Kikaku. Fukazawa became Tanaka&#8217;s valet there, which led to their relationship.</strong></p>

<h3> The agency said, &#8220;It&#8217;s absolutely impossible!</h3>
<p> It was in the summer of 1992 that &#8220;FRIDAY&#8221; reported a scoop about their love affair. At the time, Tanaka was one of the most popular trendy actresses in Japan. In addition, she starred in three consecutive dramas that year: &#8220;Shiawase no seisaku&#8221; (Fuji Television), &#8220;Nemurenai yoru kazume wo kagete&#8221; (TBS), and &#8220;Junen ai&#8221; (TBS). In between these dramas, Fukasawa starred in the stage play &#8220;Natsu wo Hagemashitai&#8221; directed by Kinichi Hagimoto, which toured throughout Japan. Fukasawa also appeared on that stage.</p>
<p> After returning to Tokyo from that regional performance, the two went straight to Tanaka&#8217;s apartment. Fukasawa did not return to his apartment, but went home to Tanaka&#8217;s apartment, where he continued to go to work on a daily basis. The president of the office to which the two belonged responded to the magazine&#8217;s interview, saying, &#8220;I can&#8217;t believe it.</p>
<p><strong> I can hardly believe it. Fukasawa is always with Misako shopping and going to the movies on my orders. Of course, I admit that we get along well. However, everyone, including myself, is constantly going in and out of her place as if it were an office&#8230;&#8221;</strong></p>
<p> But even so, the two married in 1995, overcoming the opposition of those around them. The marriage between Japan&#8217;s leading trendy actress and a failed comedian with a monthly income of 70,000 yen was ridiculed as a &#8220;super disparity marriage&#8221; or a &#8220;100-fold income disparity marriage. Tanaka said the following about her marriage to Fukasawa on &#8220;Tetsuko&#8217;s Interview&#8221; (TV Asahi) on August 28, 2008.</p>

<p><strong> I had a few boyfriends, but when someone said, &#8216;I&#8217;m going out with Misako Tanaka,&#8217; I would get distracted. The most important thing was that he saw me as a normal person.</strong></p>
<p> When Tetsuko Kuroyanagi (89) asked him about his proposal, he replied,</p>
<p><strong> I said, &#8220;I proposed to her. I said, &#8220;Let&#8217;s get married,&#8221; or &#8220;I&#8217;ll marry you,&#8221; or something like that.</strong></p>
<p> The same year that they were married, I proposed to her.</p>
<p> At the end of the year of their marriage, &#8220;FRIDAY&#8221; reported a &#8220;hand-holding amusement park date&#8221; between Kenichi Okamoto (54) of &#8220;Otoko Togumi&#8221; and Tanaka. However, since they had dated the previous summer, Tanaka was still single but in a relationship with Fukasawa. Furthermore, Okamoto had a wife, so some people said, &#8220;Was your marriage to Fukasawa because your marriage to Okamoto didn&#8217;t work out?&#8221; However, Fukasawa and Tanaka later had a daughter together. The couple&#8217;s relationship has been happy ever since, and for 28 years they have been referred to as a &#8220;loving couple despite their disparity in marital status. The fact that their daughter came of age last year may have been a factor in their decision to divorce. We hope that they will be active on their own respective stages in the future.</p>
