<p data-start="0" data-end="79">The No.1 popular comedian has finally chosen a partner in his private life.</p>
<p data-start="81" data-end="425">A weekend in mid-August. Despite the tropical night, a famous Korean restaurant in Minato, Tokyo, was bustling with energy. Among the diners was a man and a woman entering together. The man, disguised with a hat and mask, still stood out with his trademark blond hair and striking eyes—it was Lily (41), the boke of the comedy duo Mitorizu.</p>
<p data-start="427" data-end="1055"><strong>“After reaching the finals of the M-1 Grand Prix three times, he moved to Tokyo in 2022 and broke out immediately. Now, he’s one of the busiest stars, with five regular shows, including two as the main host. Among them, Lily is especially popular with women thanks to his good looks. In their hit sketch ‘South Osaka Trash Couple,’ he plays the girlfriend role, and his refined features make him look truly feminine. Even recently on a variety show, his partner Shintaro Moriyama (39) praised him, saying, ‘He’s the most popular guy among comedians—just breathing makes him attractive.’”</strong> (Executive at a major talent agency)</p>
<p data-start="1057" data-end="1234">That night, Lily was accompanied by a petite beauty. At first, it seemed like his usual reputation as a womanizer—“playing around fuels comedy”—but his demeanor was different.</p>
<p data-start="1236" data-end="1661">Leaving the restaurant, Lily firmly grasped the woman’s hand as she reached for his. While waiting at a traffic light, he listened quietly as she spoke nonstop. Suddenly, she broke into a sprint. Lily, holding up his slipping pants with one hand, chased after her desperately. Finally catching her, he grabbed her arm as if to say, “I won’t let you get away this time,” and the two entered a high-rise apartment together.</p>
<p data-start="1663" data-end="1807">Throughout, Lily was being pulled along by her energy, yet his constant smile revealed a relaxed, comfortable bond—like a seasoned comedy duo.</p>
<p data-start="1809" data-end="1851">So who is the woman Lily has fallen for?</p>
<p data-start="1853" data-end="2101" data-is-last-node="" data-is-only-node=""><strong>“She is freelance announcer Nao Imagawa (28). While studying at Doshisha University, she placed as runner-up in the campus beauty pageant. She’s now signed with Cent. Force and appears on programs like TBS NEWS and the sports show S☆1 (TBS).”</strong></p>
