<p><span class="strongInContent"> I am happy to announce that I gave birth to my first child on December 29! It is a healthy girl! The baby, she did her best to come out of the womb.</span></p>
<p> On December 31, 2011, freelance announcer Ayako Kato (38), aka &#8220;Katopan,&#8221; updated her Instagram page to report the birth of her first child, along with a photo of her holding the baby.</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> Kato announced her marriage to Mr. A (42), an ordinary man, in June &#8217;21; Mr. A is the president of a supermarket company operating mainly in the Kanto region, with annual sales of over 340 billion yen.&#8217; In January 2011, the company opened a store in Taiwan, and its performance has been strong.</span></p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> Mr. A, who was the son of the first president, and Katopan, a young lady who graduated from a music college, must share the same values, because Mr. A is also taking the initiative in reforming the way he works within the company. He may be the reason why Katopan, who has been working hard for many years, has stopped her activities.</span></p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p> Kato has been the main anchor of the news program &#8220;Live News It! (Fuji Television Network), which he had been the main anchor since April 2007, at the end of September 2010. Sankei Sports&#8221; reported that Kato&#8217;s resignation was due in part to her strong wish to <span class="strongInContent">&#8220;spend more time with her family</span>. Her agency also stated <span class="strongInContent">, &#8220;Graduation from the program is a fact. Even after graduation, I will be taking some time off from work for a while,&#8221;</span> the report said.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> In April &#8217;23, Kato updated her Instagram and posted a recent photo of herself after a long time, but she looked a little plump and the comments section asked, &#8220;Has your face changed? Is she pregnant? However, there was no report from her. However, since there was no report from her, we could not confirm her pregnancy.</span></p>
<p> FRIDAY&#8221; reported that Kato was shopping with her husband, Mr. A, after 6 p.m. in early September 2011. In the lingering summer heat, Kato was wearing a sleeveless dress with a loose fit around her stomach, which made us wonder if it was her husband. I wondered if it was her. &#8230;&#8230;.</p>
<p> The location was an upscale supermarket in Tokyo, crowded with ladies. There, a couple of beautiful men and women caught my attention. The slender woman wearing a hat was Katopan.</p>
<p> Next to her was Mr. A, who was holding a shopping bag filled with many groceries in both hands. The two of them went shopping together from early in the morning. Although Mr. A leads a busy life, he and Katopan seemed to be in step with each other as a couple.</p>
<p> Kato concluded his birth report with this.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> The year 2023 was a very good year for me to look at myself. I am very happy to be able to connect with you all in this way again as we enter 2024. I will now work on my physical recovery and spend the year-end and New Year&#8217;s holidays slowly! I look forward to working with you all again next year.</span></p>
<p> The year 2012 is sure to be a great year for Kato!</p>
