Another Ultraman grows up, moves out, and gets married — truly the circle of life. I love how these Japanese celebrity marriage announcements always follow the same script: polite bow, humble reference to your new spouse as simply "a member of the general public," zero scandal, maximum sincerity. It’s the anti-tabloid format, and honestly it’s kind of refreshing. But let’s be real, the actual headline here is a 31-year-old finally moving out of his childhood bedroom. Even superheroes have to leave the nest eventually. Congratulations, Takahashi — may your new apartment have better plumbing than your old one.
