“A happy, healthy boy was born to us,” Ichikawa and Totsugi wrote, “The moment he was born, we couldn’t stop crying. We would like to thank everyone that has shown us support and have been cheering us on throughout.“

Totsugi Shigeyuki and Ichikawa Yui met in 2014 while shooting NHK BS Premium drama “Owanko TV“.
