Ukon Onoe, the “Prince of Kabuki” who is trying his hand at voice acting for the first time in “The Lion King”… “After” his “semi-living together with an older lover”…

Ukon Onoe (32) is the voice of Mufasa in “The Lion King: Mufasa,” a movie to be released on December 20, 2012. The “prince of the Kabuki world,” who has expanded his activities not only to the stage but also to variety shows and voice acting, has been living with an “older woman” for half a year. The following is a review of the details based on an article we published on January 12, 2012.

With a beautiful woman resembling Mayuko Kawakita

In mid-December 2011, a handsome man dressed all in black, from cap to sneakers, was slowly walking down the slope of Meguro Street, which extends gently from Meguro Station. He was Ukon Onoe.

Ukon’s great-grandfather was Onoe Kikugoro VI, who led the Kabuki world in the Taisho era, and his grandfather was Koji Tsuruta, a famous actor of the Showa era, born into a brilliant family.’ In 2006, at the tender age of 25, he starred in a double cast with Ichikawa Ennosuke (49) in “Super Kabuki One Piece,” and is attracting attention as a young hope in the Kabuki world” (Kabuki magazine editor).

By her side is a slender, beautiful woman stylishly dressed in a long navy blue down coat and knee-high boots. Her back is straight and her eyes are somewhat reminiscent of actress Mayuko Kawakita (33).

After walking shoulder to shoulder for a while, the woman suddenly took Ukon’s arm and intertwined her fingers with his. The two were then sucked into “T,” a tonkatsu restaurant with a long line of customers.

After about an hour, they came out of “T” and headed home by train from Meguro Station. When they got off at the nearest station and came to an alley, they untied their hands and immediately distanced themselves. The woman entered a modern-looking apartment building with a familiar hand first, and Ukon entered the same apartment building, taking his time and paying attention to his surroundings.

I’m going to introduce her to my parents now.”

Three days after the tonkatsu date, Ukon emerged from his apartment to go out to the Shinbashi Enbujojo, looked back at his apartment, waved to the upper floor, and saw a beautiful woman resembling Kawakita peeking out from the balcony and smiling at him.’ In early January of 2012, after a performance at the Early Spring Grand Kabuki Theater, I hit up Ukon.

–It seems that you are currently living with a woman.

Yes. ……, yes.

–Is he thinking of getting married?

I can’t tell you any more than that, because there is nothing I can disclose right now. Of course, there is no such thing as ‘I am actually married. If I were to get married, I would want to talk about it with the Kabuki world, with my clients, with the people involved, and with my teachers, and then report it to the public.

–Have you introduced him to your family yet?

No, I haven’t yet, so that will come in the near future.

–Is your partner the same age as you?

Is he the same age as you? She is a little older than me. I consider it my job to be featured in this way. But she is just an ordinary person, so I think she should be left alone.

After saying this gently, Ukon said, “I’m sorry,” and walked away.

You have to be comfortable with yourself.”

Ukon’s desire to marry is well known in Nashien. One proprietress said,

She said, “Ukon has had a desire to get married since he was young, and he once said, ‘I became aware of it when I was in my mid-twenties. The woman he is dating seems to be doing something artistic. I think she also has a good understanding of Mr. Ukon’s work. However, I haven’t heard anything about marriage yet.

She is a very nice person,” he said.

Ukon also hinted that his own marriage was not immediate. On the September 14, 2012 broadcast of “Meshidora: Kanekika & Shinnosuke’s Gourmet Drive” (NTV), MC Shinnosuke Mitsushima (35) asked, “Do you want to have a family, after all? He immediately answered, “Yes, I do. He continued,

I think that by thinking about my art all the time, I become a comedian, but I am separated from other people. I want to have a sense of valuing my family in order to strike a balance between the two.

I would like to have a sense that I cherish my family in order to strike a balance.

However, on the other hand, he also said, “But I am still busy with my own life,

I don’t want to just ask people to support me. I don’t want to just ask them to support me. I think it’s impossible unless I can afford it to some extent.

I don’t want to just ask them to support me. Indeed, in 2012, Ukon may not have had enough time for a full personal life, for in addition to his monthly Kabuki performances during the year, he appeared in three films: “The Substitute Chushingura,” “Hakkenden,” and “Eleven Samurai. He starred in “The Lion King: Mufasa” in his first attempt at voice acting. With no time to recover from the fatigue of the past year, “Kotobuki Hatsuharu Grand Kabuki Performance” is scheduled to begin on January 2, ’25.

Will ’25 bring a day when he can afford to get married?
