Voice actress Chisa Yokoyama, famous for voicing such characters as Sakura Taisen’s Sakura Shinguuji and Tenchi Muyo’s Sasami, will be wedding a husband 11 years her junior.
She has announced she will be marrying Chaka, bassist for band Tripolysm. She is 39-years-old, whilst Chaka is but 28.
As well as congratulations, the marriage has attracted curiosity for the unusually large age gap between husband and wife… Unusual, at least, for a younger husband and older wife.

who?
You probably won't know her if you were not (yet) an anime/game fan in the 90s...
im 14 and know who she is
i might have no choice and do the same, the girls nowadays have very high expectations...
I'd marry a mature women, who really understood what's True LOVE!
Too bad I don't watch the jap version of Tenchi Muyo (excluding the 3rd ova set). Ryoko's dub voice is just too irresistible to pass up.
Huh? What is this I don't even

DOES LOLI-SASAMI RING A BELL?
Ten years ago she rang my bell.
Now? ... err... no.
Don't forget your roots.
so she digs guys With Dreadlocks...
and young man....
i find Bob Marley more hotter then that guy...
They are CORNROWS, not dreadlocks.
Ah yes, that's the word I meant. I knew there was a word I was looking for here that was a correction on what people were using for his hair.
I don't like either one, dreds or rows, but somehow cornrows are much uglier to me than dreadlocks.
Technically though, saying he has dreds is right, he just has it lower. He has both dreds and cornrows going on.
For a majority here, I'm sure it will. If not--underagedb&
there is no underage b& on SC, fag
also... 19 and ionly watched the first Tenchi Muyo DVD... never got around to watching it all :3
well I bet no one would even care for the opposite one
Both look no good.. i don't mind..
I wonder if she's rich. If so, then he pulls all the strings in the relationship. In the event of a divorce he'd get half of her wealth. Not a bad deal to me.
She's a seiyuu, she CAN'T BE rich.
Actually, with what she's done these past 13 years, I'd say she's richer than me. Also note that she's head of her own company. And if I remember correctly, seiyuu who've worked in the industry for decades get to set their own wage.
Edit: ...richer than most people.
Met her at a European Anime convention years ago, maybe 1999, can't remember off the top of my head, not sure what shes been doing since Techi Muyo though..
harhar dreadlocks.
harhar CORNROWS
Well... Isn't that interesting.
So I heard you like wrinkly cougars
39 isn't even old enough to be a Cougar.
You have to be a woman in her 40s dating men in their 20s.
Not true. Cutoff seems to be about 35, dating men at least 10 yesrs younger. See definitions on Urban Dictionary (urbandictionary.com)
Hey when you're almost 40,still single and a woman.You can't be picky.Just about anybody will do...unless dying alone and old is a good thing.
But she has money
wow what, when I was at sakura con I think that Chaka guy was the bassist for myuji!
Every true Sakura Taisen fan knows who she is. She is Shinguji Sakura in both 2D and 3D form.
I think a few hundred of them just wept bitter tears at this news.
She was in a Sega Dreamcast commercial with Segata Sanshiro. She was playing Sakura, of course.
It's possible that Chaka was a huge Sakura Taisen fan ten years ago.
The above picture does not show it, but she has nice legs.
loved her in the Hanasaku Otome song
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4UWVmXKwlXA
She DOES have nice legs. And a nice personality. But I think you're exaggerating quite a bit when you say she's Sakura in both worlds. Sure, a bit of Chisa can be seen in Sakura and vice versa, but that statement's just a bit of an exaggeration.
>>I think a few hundred of them just wept bitter tears at this news.
Bitter tears? Most likely not. Toys of joy and happiness? Definitely. Chisa deserves to settle down after 13 years in the ST realm and 22 as a voice actor.
When Michie got married, much tears were shed but none were bitter.
sakura shiouji was my fav char.lol that guy must be an otaku who longed to marry a seiyuu
Could be. Looks like he is wearing a Zelda Triforce jacket in the photo. He could be a total game freak.
He got the "good ending" with Sakura!
Sakura Shinguuji has been one of my all-time favorite.
Sure, you kids might never heard of her, but back then she was like a goddess.
Mine is Sumire Kanzaki !! OH,ho,ho,ho,ho
Added Iris was the first video game loli character I know
Congrats to Chisa, certainly, though I'm more impartial to Kanna-han.
He looks like shit, seriously.
Ya, he looks like a chav to me, he just needs a ball cap.
Ball cap?! >< I may sound racists (hell, I know I sound racist), but there are people that certain hair and clothing fashions work for, and others that it doesn't. Plain and simple.
well ya, but no, but ya, but no, but ya, but no but ya, but no, but no, but ya, but no, but ya, but no but ya, but no, but no, but ya, but no, but ya, but no but ya, but no...
Older women dating younger men is.:awesome:
A lot of you don't know, but she's fucking RICH!
I'm not into people wearing dreadlocks, but I think this fella is kinda cute.
I like the way I can see his forehead real good.
Having a hairstyle that's long and allows you to see the forehead real well works really well with his face which wouldn't be as cute if he had it down.
I just wish it wasn't dreds.
It's cute to me. I'd glomp it.
Oh God, my last comment better go through.
I don't feel like groing through the effort to type that out again.:X
So what's the big deal ??? I see no problem with this.
I used to think she was hot back in the 90's...
She's not 'hot' anymore, but she's still cute. I'd go for Chisa rather than Hirano Aya any day.
...Good for her? As long as she's happy, I don't think anyone has any right to complain.
(That said, her future husband looks ridiculous. I sincerely hope that's only his "stage persona".)
So how's Iris Chateaubriand doing now?
Nishihara Kumiko?
She works at an actors school training younger seiyuu and occasionaly appears in anime. She was in Kanokon last spring, playing that loli villian in the last episodes.
A more important question would be what Okamoto Maya is doing right now. I know that she went to America to get her green card a while back and a dream of hers was to be a Hollywood actor(iirc), but I haven't heard anything else after that.
for some reason i felt bad for her, marrying someone like him, i think she can do better than that... or the guy seriously needs a hair cut.
That's great! It's about time she settled down.
was not everyone's one to date a 18 years what you are 30, and marries a 20 years when you are 40? she already staring to get full of winkle. and in 10 year she will be a monster from saggy skin planet!
if thy think not for thy self, think for thy dick.
idiot XD and he in a band so not hard for him to get girls

was it not everyone man's dream to date a 18 years old when you are 30, and marries a 20 years old when you are 40? she already staring to get winkles. and in 10 year she will transform to a monster from saggy skin planet!
if thy think not for thy self, think for thy dick.

I met her years ago, she speaks fluent english
Cool :3 Lol, just remembered that one Sakura Taisen movie where she and Tsubaki tried to speak english to that one foreign lady (forgot what's her name)..
Rachette?
people and their age discrimination problems.
No wonder they end up alone sometimes.
I support this marriage
11 years difference is not even that big of a deal when you get to a certain age. I have plenty of relatives who are 10 years apart.
Plus, a wife that can scream "Onii-chan, kimochi!" or whatever in Sasami's voice is never too old.
So? 11 years this or that...
Those cornrows/dreadlocks are looking badass.
They should've thrown him back into the oven to finish the job, or left him under the Australian sun for like a million years. No one with skin that pale should have hair like Ore-Ida crinkle-cut fires.
I wasn't aware people even cared about age gaps in marriages where the younger person was over 25 or so.
See Cougars exhist in Japan too
Also is that japanese guy with corn rows???
Thats one ghetto superstar
She's got a nice voice, is reasonably cute...
Presuming she's got a nice personality, that kid gets a win.
*sigh*
She does have a nice personality.
thus she is feminime as it should be,what do you think a man is truly attracted by women?
So now they have cougars in Japan? Score one for feminism in Asia.
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=cougar
This is weird. She's only 39 but still cute. He's 28 but he looks like Mariangela Fantozzi... GFGI.
..and here I thought about Shotacon. Whats the big deal with some old hag marrying some old dude?
It's more of a deal with less the wife and more the husband. We're kind of quick to judge without knowing what he's really like.
pedophile!!!
That's OBVIOUSLY going to last forever.
I agree. /sarcasm
...
But, who knows?
Chisa Yokoyama I am glad you are geting married.
Chaka can totally live the dream and be like Segata Sanshiro.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uRV_L_3FmsI
If you can't figure it out, that's Chisa in the CM.
One can only hope Chaka'll be as GAR as SEGATA SANSHIRO
In any case, does anyone know any more about Chaka?
ugh...that guy...he's like nightmare incarnate...seriously, he's ugly as hell!
He looks like a vile creep. Hope he's not, but he looks that way.
I'd like to think Sasami's all grown up and became Tsunami.
Amen.
Still can't beat the epic drama caused by Maria Kawamura's wedding, aka. The Girl Who Broke Tomino's Heart.
I cried a river when Michie stumbled during 'Center Spot'.
What an ugly mother fucker.
She's clearly retarded.
What does he look like without all that crap on his face? I wonder.
Yay! I loved her as Sasami, Sana, and Yuna!
I'm glad she's getting married so she can be happy! ♥
come to onee-chan...
lol. chisa wants moar young cock...
She's not like that.
hmm... maybe he's just into milfs
Correction: Mature women.
Chisa does not look like a MILF, nor has she had a child yet.
Correction: Ancient hags.
Don't try and pretty them up by calling them "women". If they were women, they'd have been snapped up in their 20's.
I stand corrected. I apologize.
Ahh, Sakura Taisen...Brings back some memories :3
And congrats Chisa. :3
The dream will continue. :3
Galaxy Fraulein Yuna got married?!
My dream!
Noooooooooo!
Well there's no problem for me as long as they actually love each other although i am a bit curious how this transpired
The age range seems pretty acceptable. But their style looks like it would clash horribly. Well, love can conquer all.
Depends on how the love happened in the first place. But like everyone, I have doubts on this marriage.
I lol'd at his braids.
I also remember her as Chun Li from Street Fighter 2 V and Maria Renard from Castlevania Symphony of The Night
....
Holy crap, look at her eyes.
Please...as if you were so beautiful.
cougarrr
/normal in japan
who cares.
He's one of the creepiest things I've ever seen.
I don't support this marriage because the only place for dreadlocks is Jamaica and other tropical islands.
At least an Asian with dreadlocks doesn't look as terrible as a white guy with them...god help those sad sad people.
Kudos to this guy. We need more marriages like this
Well, since Sakura Taisen epopee is over, I let her go =).
Btw, maybe bad photo here, but IMO she's actually very beautiful (judjing by Sakura Taisen musicals ~5 years ago, she's most beautiful among the cast, her smile is just sparkling ^_^).
I wonder, why does it take so long for seiyuu to get married... They are not pop idols to "belong to everyone".
Gotta hurry up to grab Kawasumi-san! ^^
P.S. Some more info about Chaka: http://web.me.com/myuji/tripolysm/CHAKA.html
Well, as long as she's happy (the guy with the cornrows too), everything's fine, right?
Personally, many characters she has voiced have left an impression on me. I'd like to see her more active in voice acting again.
I say good for them.
