1. The story behind the unusual double announcement

On July 22, 2025, during a YouTube recording of "Hannya" Kaneda Tetsu's marriage announcement, Kawashima Akiyoshi suddenly announced, "I'm divorced." The studio, which had been filled with a celebratory mood, froze, and the number of viewers increased dramatically. "#KawashimaDivorce" quickly became a trending topic on social media, and the incident developed into such a commotion that major news sites ran breaking news reports.
2. A 6 million yen debt leads to family breakdown
In 2020, Kawashima failed to achieve the required rank in the e-sports event "League of Legends" and had to pay a penalty of 6 million yen.
| item | Amount (yen) | remarks |
| Penalties for failing to plan a game | 6,000,000 | If rank is not met, payment will be required |
| Monthly repayment amount | Approximately 100,000 | Repayments from 2021 to 2023 |
The monthly repayment burden of over 100,000 yen put a strain on the family finances, and Natsuki, the wife, wrote in a blog post that she couldn't make ends meet. Combined with the mortgage and education expenses, the couple's trust was greatly shaken.
3. Conflict of values: traditional patriarchy vs. independence

Kawashima has a strong Showa-era sense of patriarchy, with the husband working outside and the wife taking care of the home, and helping with housework and child rearing is a secondary priority. Natsuki, on the other hand, values independence and seeks an equal partnership.
โช๏ธWhen Natsuki expresses her opinion, she is told, "Earn more than me before you complain."
โช๏ธEven when I ask for help sharing childcare and housework, they refuse, saying they're "too busy with work."
These misunderstandings piled up, and conversation gradually dwindled.
4. Postpartum crisis exposes lack of childcare support

After giving birth to her first child, Natsuki confessed on her blog that she was raising her child alone, "feeding the baby in the middle of the night, changing diapers, and doing all the housework by myself." While she was mentally and physically overwhelmed, her husband's support was limited, and she felt increasingly isolated and dissatisfied.
5. Long-term separation and the decision-making process

From around 2024, Natsuki's blog began to contain scattered records of "moving" and "transferring schools," and the children were actually sent to different school districts. Physical distance created psychological distance, and the quiet period of separation eventually turned into a time of preparing for divorce.
6. The truth behind the affair allegations

"The number of condoms I had increased from two before my business trip to six after I got home," was a shocking confession. Kawashima denied it, but this episode has been passed down as a symbol of the breakdown of trust. Rather than the affair itself, it was an incident that clearly showed that "the relationship had already fallen apart."
7. What the couple envisions for their future after their divorce

Custody was given to Natsuki, and Kawashima promised visitation rights and child support. She continues to give lectures as a "cancer survivor" while also considering returning to her career as a comedian. Natsuki continues to blog as a single mother, sharing her child-rearing and household finance know-how. Though they are on different paths, they have not lost their bond as "parents" and have begun a new life together.
