Gold Medal and Marriage” Plans Emerge “After” Tokyo Olympics Gold Medalist Abe Hifumi and Grad Doll Rina Hashimoto

In January, we reported on a “live-in date” between Abe Hifumi ( 26 ) and gravure idol Rina Hashimoto ( 30 ), who has already been unofficially selected for the Paris Olympics and is aiming to win a gold medal at two consecutive Olympics starting with the Tokyo Olympics, However, some people around the couple had asked, “Is it not a serious relationship? However, the magazine found that the two were not in a serious relationship. However, this magazine saw that the two were very much in love.. . We look back at the details based on the article distributed on January 26 (ages and titles in the article are current at the time of publication).

On a Christmas afternoon in 2010, 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 66-kg weight class. Many of you may remember him from the semifinals of the Olympics, where he won by ippon of back-oinage in just over two minutes. The woman is Rina Hashimoto (29), a gravure idol who is known as the “Black Diamond of Naniwa” for her wheat-colored skin.

The two were reported to be dating in September 2010 by “Bunshun Online. They met through an acquaintance and have been dating since the spring of 2010. However, when the dating report was published, it was also reported that Abe had a bad drinking habit and was fond of 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. The two 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 have been influenced by living together, but recently they have been wearing similar fashions” (acquaintance).

On the day of the interview, the two were indeed wearing matching sandals, and Hashimoto had a key in her hand that appeared to belong to her home.

When the report came out in September 2010, there were concerns that it might have been “just for fun,” but it seems that they had been nurturing their love steadily.

Later that day, we directly interviewed Abe after practice.

–Mr. Abe, this is Friday. Are you living together with Rina Hashimoto?

No. ……”

He looked a little surprised, but said only that in a small voice and did not look at the reporter. Then Abe spoke in a well-defined, sportsmanlike voice,

Thank you very much.

and left.

Living together less than a year after the start of their relationship, it seems that Abe was quickly getting “the one” at this tournament as well.

The audience at the last tournament of ’23 was cheering for Hashimoto : ……

In March of ’23, Hashimoto appeared at an event in Ueno, Tokyo, and when asked about Abe,

I can’t say anything.

When asked about Abe, Hashimoto replied, “I can’t say anything,” but it seems that they are still in a serious relationship. According to a sports newspaper reporter,

According to a sports newspaper reporter, “They seem to be growing steadily in love, and Hashimoto seems to be supporting their health in terms of food. If they win gold medals at the Paris Olympics and win two consecutive championships, there is a good chance that they will hold an engagement press conference there and get married.

He said, “I am sure that he will be very happy to be married.

On December 3, Abe won the final day of the Judo Grand Slam in Tokyo (Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium ), the last international tournament of 2011. Hashimoto was among the spectators at the venue, waving a fan with Abe’s portrait on it in support.

Given the current state of affairs, it may be possible that Abe will receive “good news” at the pep rally before the Paris Olympics.
