Fuji Television’s Yuka Ebihara, Living with a Super-Elite Entrepreneur in a Minato-ku Tower apartment

On a holiday in early October, a beautiful woman was seen on a street in the Bay Area of Minato Ward, which was crowded with families. It was a chilly day with a cold autumn rain falling in the morning, but the woman, Yuka Ebihara, 29, a Fuji Television announcer, sashayed out of a high-rise condominium, perhaps 30 stories above the ground, wearing a short one-piece dress that was at least 15 cm above the knee.

“Ebihara is a cool-beauty announcer who won the grand prix in the “Miss Gakushuin Contest 2015” when she was a junior at Gakushuin University. She joined Fuji Television in 2017 with a bang, and in October of her first year, she was selected as an MC assistant for “Information Presenter Tokutodane”” 

“Currently, she is the sports anchor for the weekday evening news program “FNN Live News” (main anchor on Fridays) and the Tuesday edition of the CS broadcast “Professional Baseball News”. Her colleague is Kuji Akiko (29), a.k.a. Kujipan, who married NBA player Yuta Watanabe (29), and Ebihara’s position is said to be a good year for her,” said a Fuji Television source.

 

Although she is often seated and inconspicuous on the program, she is actually tall at 169 cm and has excellent proportions. On this day, Ebihara crossed a pedestrian crossing on her long, slender legs to go out with friends and headed for the nearest station, but she had such a presence that people looking at her in passing involuntarily turned their heads.

The popular Fuji TV announcer’s celebrity Minato-ku tower apartment seemed to suit her well, but her acquaintance told her, “That’s not Ebihara’s house,” said one of her acquaintances.

“To be precise, it is a “love nest”. It is the apartment where her boyfriend, Mr. N (32), the president of a consulting company, lives. The two got acquainted about two years ago. It all started when Ebihara attended a drinking party for business owners in Minato Ward, introduced by an acquaintance. The two hit it off immediately. Before they knew it, they were living together in a townhouse where Mr. N lived,” said an acquaintance of the two.

In 2018, this magazine reported on Ebihara’s love affair with Mr. K, a venture capitalist who is two years older than her, but her latest partner is just as elite as Mr. K.

“After graduating from Kaisei High School, the alma mater of Prime Minister Fumio Kishida (66) and the most prestigious high school in Tokyo, Mr. N joined an entrepreneurial club at the University of Tokyo and ran a real estate company while still a student. After graduating, he joined a foreign investment bank in the U.S., but two years later, in 2018, he became independent and established his current company. Since its establishment, the company has continued to increase sales and profits, and last year he published a book on the subject. I have been inundated with requests from the business media to write articles and give interviews. He is a sincere manager who describes himself as having taken the high road.”

Since he started dating Ebihara, Mr. N’s sincerity is said to have been spurred on.

 

“He is the opposite of the kind of man who drives to work in a chauffeur-driven car and spends his evenings drinking in Minato Ward, as is typical of venture company executives. He still sometimes stayed out late, but since he started dating Ms. Ebihara, he has been going to work early in the morning by train and going straight home to his house where Ms. Ebihara is. He is madly in love with her. They are getting engaged soon and are aiming to get married at the beginning of the new year.”

Will Ebihara follow in the footsteps of her peers who have married top athletes and marry a top executive before she turns 30? 

On behalf of Ebihara, Fuji Television’s public relations department commented.

“We do not answer questions regarding the private lives of our employees.”

The announcer who won the beauty contest is married to a very elite executive. The day is approaching when Ebihara will take such a “royal road”
