On May 9, Masama Uno, 26, who has led the Japanese figure skating world, suddenly announced his retirement.
 He had been struggling to maintain motivation since Yuzuru Hanyu (29), who had been following his back, retired in &#8217;22. At the beginning of the year, he confided his intention to retire to a TV station in his hometown of Aichi,&#8221; said a skating federation official.

On the 8th, the day before she announced her retirement, FRIDAY encountered Uno walking with her boyfriend, Marin Honda (22). It was impressive to see Uno following one step behind Marin (photo). A federation official continued, &#8220;They are in a relationship.
 Uno&#8217;s relationship seems to be led by Marin, and her move to the same office on May 1 seems to have been prompted by Marin. Uno has a tendency to put all her trust in those who are close to her.&#8217; His mother will be his emotional support until the Beijing Olympics in 2010, and after that, Marin-san will be his emotional support. Recently, I have heard that Marin has been visiting Uno at her apartment, which is her base of operations.
How will their relationship change after Uno&#8217;s retirement?
 Marin is currently selling herself as a sportscaster, so it is highly unlikely that they will get married anytime soon. Since they belong to the same agency, we should see more and more of them performing together not only at ice shows but also on commercial TV programs,&#8221; said a source from a major entertainment agency.
The Japanese ace, freed from the pressure, has chosen to live with his trusted lover for the rest of his life, both publicly and privately.
