Japanese Princess Mako's fiance Kei Komuro

Total cookie sniffer, right?

They're quite an unfortunate looking couple.

He also looks shady. His mother has "financial" issues which prevented her from marrying him for the past couple of years.

But now the wedding is back on track.

Run, Mako. RUN!

Is this the daughter of the one who went nuts?

He's Japanese, they're all cute, but I don't get any movement on my Gaydar. I'm thinking he might be more of an opportunist of the sheltered Princess

Don't you mean, Lun. Mako. LUN!

You take the piss out the Japanese at your peril, OP. Normally, this is where I ask can I have your stuff. But considering your stuff will be caked with pools and splatters of your own blood, I wouldn't want the dry cleaners round the corner to work overtime trying to get that load of Target sale shit back to its pitiable state. Sayonara. Don't say I didn't warn you. A Pizzicato High Five, bruh...

I happen to be a fan of Japanese men, but this one isn't remotely attractive as far as I'm concerned. She's a goddamn princess, and this is the one she chose?!

Supposedly intrigue and backstabbing in the Japanese Royal court makes the BRF look like the Von Trapps. Mako and Kei are thrilled to be leaving Japan.

[quote] Japanese Princess Mako's fiancé racks up millions of views on TikTok for all the wrong reasons

Japan’s Princess Mako and her long-term boyfriend, Kei Komuro, are entering the final stages of their upcoming marriage to the dismay of many in the Japanese public.

Royal drama: In 2017, Princess Mako, the granddaughter of former Emperor Akihito, publicly announced her engagement to Komuro, a commoner, and had the approval of the majority of Japan’s citizens.

However, soon after, the financial battle between Komuro’s mother and her ex-fiancé, to whom she reportedly owed 4 million yen (approximately $36,000), made headlines across tabloids and news outlets. The public shunned the soon-to-be groom because part of that money was allegedly spent on his education.

The dispute embarrassed the royal family and caused Princess Mako’s father, Crown Prince Akishino, to have mixed feelings about their marriage, according to AP News.

In 2018, Komuro left Japan to pursue a degree from Fordham University’s School of Law. He graduated in May with a Juris Doctor degree and took the New York state bar exam in July.

The couple’s decisions: On Monday, Komuro returned to Japan for the first time since 2018. He landed a job at a law firm in New York and is expected to live there with Princess Mako after their marriage, according to the Washington Post.

Komuro made headlines once again for sporting a ponytail and no necktie after he landed, which fueled more Japanese news reports bashing him for his appearance and concluding that he is unfit for his engagement. TikToks mocking his ponytail have also gone viral, with one reaching over 4.5 million views.

AERAdot, run by one of Japan’s largest newspapers, Asahi Shimbun, created an online survey that ran from Sept. 22 to 28 asking if respondents would congratulate the couple. Ninety-one percent of the survey’s 2,051 respondents answered no.

While the royal status itself doesn’t grant any real political power and its members are more so figureheads who carry out ceremonial duties, if Princess Mako leaves, then she will never be able to return to her former title even with a divorce.

Still, she continues to hold on to her stance of renouncing her title and becoming a commoner, refusing all official wedding rites and being the first female royal member since World War II to reject the 150 million yen ($1.35 million) payment every Japanese royal is guaranteed when they opt to leave the family. The lump-sum is paid for by taxpayers to keep up the image of the departing royal.

The couple is believed to marry in October.

Bless her heart. She has an inbred smile and is thick for a young Japanese woman. Given her strict and cold upbringing, she was likely charmed by the first “bad boy” who showed her affection and cracked a joke. I suspect he’ll have a lot of late meetings once they're living together in New York.

[quote] Princess Unleashes on Japan’s Media in Furious Statement Hours After Marrying Commoner Sweetheart

Japan’s Princess Mako married her college sweetheart in a muted ceremony that saw her give up her royal status Tuesday—then she almost immediately unleashed years of pent-up fury against the media.

Mako and her now-husband Kei Komuro have endured years of brutal treatment from the Japanese media, with the country’s tabloids making clear they thought he, as a commoner, wasn’t good enough to marry her. Reports have dredged up Komuro’s mom’s financial issues, his dad’s suicide, and even condemned him for wearing a ponytail.

The princess has previously said the harsh media reaction to the announcement of her engagement in 2017 has left her with post-traumatic stress disorder. On Tuesday, two hours after she married Komuro, she delivered a statement to news cameras at a Tokyo hotel, and opened up about how media treatment had made her life unbearable.

“Incorrect information, for some reason, was treated as if it were unmistakable fact, and I felt frightened at the way these groundless tales spread,” she said. “I had feelings of pain and sadness.”

Her husband, who stood alongside her during the statement, followed up with his own, saying: “I love Mako. We only get one life, and I want us to spend it with the one we love... I feel very sad that Mako has been in a bad condition, mentally and physically, because of the false accusations.”

Under Japan’s post-war constitution, the princess must immediately be kicked out of the royal family after marrying a commoner—though the rule only applies to female members of the imperial family. Mako turned down the usual pomp of a royal wedding and also refused to take a payment offered to royal women when they’re ejected from the family.

Even though Mako is now leaving the palace for good, protesters still bothered to gather Tuesday to show their opposition to the wedding. BBC News reported that people gathered in a Tokyo park clutching signs that referenced Komuro’s mother’s minor financial issues. It was reported in 2017 that his mom didn’t repay a $36,000 loan to her ex-fiancé.

In her statement, Mako apologized to anyone who was upset about her marriage, telling reporters: “I am very sorry for the inconvenience caused and I am grateful for those... who have continued to support me... For me, Kei is irreplaceable—marriage was a necessary choice for us.”

Just like another ex-royal couple who suffered intense media scrutiny—Prince Harry and Meghan Markle—the newlyweds are now expected to flee to the United States, where Komuro works as a lawyer.
