'Terrace House's Host Yamachan Is Married! — Wife, Wedding, Details

Read in-depth updates about 'Terrace House's Host Yamachan Is Married! — Wife, Wedding, Details.

Yamachan is known as the cynic of the lot, often taking to voice his no-filter impressions on the cast of 20-something housemates trying to awkwardly navigate their way through the show's titular Terrace House.

"The moment I laid eyes on him, I was like 'wheeeeeeew.' My exact thought was: 'Ah. This kid is dumb,'" is just an example of the kind of thing he says about the kids on screen. "I hope he has bad taste, at least," is another Yamachan highlight. "Then I can laugh at him."

The 42-year-old comedian, radio, and TV personality also has quite the reputation for having been voted the "most unattractive person in Japan" for three years straight, according to Japan Today. And that's further surprising fans who can't believe he tied the knot with 33-year-old beauty Yu Aoi.

The actress is one of Japan's most renowned and respected and has starred in dozens of films such as Tokyo!, Rurouni Kenshin, Tokyo Ghoul, and Hula Girls, a hit film about a group of young women who saved their town from financial ruin by forming their own hula hoop troupe.

In 2017, Yū received the Japan Academy Prize Association's award for Outstanding Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role for her 2017 film Birds Without Names and gained national recognition.

In the movie, she stars in the role of Towako Kitahara, a woman who does nothing and lives off her construction worker boyfriend, whom she constantly verbally abuses. All the while, she's pining for her violent and physically abusive ex-lover, Shunichi, who once almost beat her to death.
