The story
Shinji Mizuta (46), formerly of the comedy duo Wagyu, announced on the 29th that he is divorcing his wife, freelance newscaster Hagiko Yamamoto (29), who is 17 years his junior, in a jointly signed statement. The statement described the split as a “positive decision.” On 5ch’s Geinou/Sports Breaking News+ board, users argued over the phrase “positive” itself, lamented losing sight of Yamamoto’s looks, and speculated about Mizuta’s personality based on his usual on-air demeanor — with all kinds of theories flying about what was really behind the divorce.

What people said
Guess being a comedian, he's just good at talking
Young women who are usually spoiled by guys fall for the rare one who's actually strict with them
But if he keeps being that harsh 24/7 even after marriage, this is what happens
My physics teacher told me the more mass you have, the stronger your gravitational pull (a dig at his weight)
It IS positive
You no longer have to live with someone you can't stand
If anything, it might be a more positive move than getting married in the first place
No thanks, I've already got Kinusa!!
Let's just call him Water Buffalo already (a pun mashing his name Mizuta with "gyu," the cow from Wagyu)
With looks like that she could've easily landed a Johnny's idol or a company president
Maybe she just got worn out by how petty Mizuta's personality is
Sounds like about a year in she started feeling "this isn't it…" and it just ended in divorce
Probably for the best if they don't have kids
Always thought they didn't match as a couple
Yamamoto's just too beautiful for him
Ginshari's Hashimoto is a similar type of talent, but he's funny even without doing manzai
She could easily remarry some rich, good-looking guy
Guess a more businesslike marriage, like an arranged one, really does last longer
Never liked his comedy style anyway

Background and Points of Discussion
Mizuta disbanded the comedy duo Wagyu with his partner Kenshiro Kawanishi in 2023 and currently works as a solo comedian. Yamamoto is a freelance newscaster who has appeared on programs including “Wa Spo × MLB”; how long the two dated or the circumstances that led to their marriage aren’t disclosed in the public statement. The announcement gives no specific reason for the divorce, so the “personality” and “abuse” theories floated on the thread should be treated as unfounded speculation, nothing more. Celebrity divorce announcements are typically limited to what the parties themselves choose to disclose, and outside speculation rarely adds anything beyond what they’ve actually stated.
