<p>On October 23, Mako Komuro, the eldest daughter of the Akishino family, celebrated her 33rd birthday, and on October 26, three years passed since her marriage to her husband, Kei, 33.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> Kei is currently working for a New York State law firm, where her main work is in the areas of international trade and national security, as well as acquisitions and merger review for foreign companies. Nevertheless, he does a lot of remote work. Despite his busy schedule, he and his wife celebrated Mako&#8217;s birthday together in a small way. We hear that her younger sister, Kako, with whom she has been in regular communication, also sent a congratulatory message to Ms. Mako. It seems that she has not been in contact with her parents this year either. &#8230;&#8230;&#8221; (an acquaintance of the Komuro couple)</span></p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p>Mako is a &#8220;housewife,&#8221; so to speak, but Kei&#8217;s annual income is said to be 40 million yen. Even in the U.S., where prices are high, there seems to be no economic problem.</p>
<h2>The Nobel Prize-winning scholar and the Komuro couple</h2>
<p>Three years after moving to the U.S., the couple moved to Connecticut, a state known for its safety and peace of mind.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> In mid-October, the Shukan Bunshun (weekly magazine) reported that Hikonobu Ise, former chairman of Ise Foods, who is said to be the &#8220;guardian&#8221; of the Komuro couple, was the victim of a 500 million yen fraud. The person who is said to be involved in the 500 million yen fraud is Mr. A, a former secretary of Mr. Ise.</span></p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> In the photo published in Bunshun, Mr. A is seen in addition to Mr. and Mrs. Komuro, former Chairman Ise, and Nobel Prize winner in physics Yoshiro Manabe and his wife. The large amount of fraud that Mr. Ise, one of the few supporters of Mr. and Mrs. Komuro, suffered has made us aware once again of the danger that Mr. and Mrs. Komuro may also be involved in some kind of trouble in the future,&#8221; said a reporter for a women&#8217;s magazine in charge of the Imperial Household.</span></p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p>Kei, on the other hand, has steadily built up his career and is now being interviewed by a British news site as a &#8220;sharply observant lawyer.</p>

<h2>Three Years and Nine Months of Perseverance</h2>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> In mid-October, an interview with Mr. Komuro appeared in the UK-based web magazine THE LONDON ECONOMIC, which specializes in the economic field. He was introduced as an expert on economic security and was described in the article as a &#8220;thought leader on international trade and compliance. Lawyers interviewed by other countries are rare, of course, and the title &#8220;husband of a former member of the royal family&#8221; must have had a strong impact on him in the UK,&#8221; said a reporter for a women&#8217;s magazine.</span></p>
<p>In this interview, Kei said</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> In this interview, Kei said, &#8220;In Japanese culture, building relationships often requires patience, restraint, and putting other people&#8217;s concerns first.</span></p>
<p>(&#8230;&#8230;).</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> I found it strange that she was talking about &#8220;how to build relationships in Japan,&#8221; despite the fact that her mother&#8217;s financial problems, which Akishino no Miya was asked to deal with, were constantly criticized by the public. Indeed, in the three years and nine months since his marriage to Mako was postponed, Mr. Komuro has &#8220;persevered&#8221; in the face of public bashing and distrust from Prince and Princess Akishino and the Imperial Household Agency. However, since the Japanese public is likely to see the article on the Web, she should be careful in her choice of words.</span></p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p>Three years have passed since their marriage. It must be the fate of a former member of the royal family and her husband that the Komuro&#8217;s are never short of topics of conversation.</p>
