1. Nishikawa Haruki's profile and career

Haruki Nishikawa, born April 16, 1992, is an outfielder known for his solid hitting ability, batting eye, and one of the fastest speeds in the NPB. He grew up in Wakayama Prefecture, started playing baseball in the first grade of elementary school, and won the national championship in junior high school. He became a regular player at Chiben Wakayama in the spring of his first year, demonstrating such talent that he was given the cleanup role. In addition to his batting prowess, with a total of 13 home runs in high school, he was also highly regarded for his wide defensive range, and was selected second overall by the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters in the 2009 draft.

After turning pro, he played as a second baseman for a time, but due to his defensive aptitude and the team situation, he switched to the outfield. In 2016, he recorded a batting average of .314 and 41 stolen bases, and his walk-off grand slam in Game 5 of the Japan Series is still a memorable moment.

After that, he hoped to challenge the majors through posting, but negotiations were unsuccessful and he remained with the team. In the offseason of 2021, Nippon-Ham changed its policy and he became a non-tender, and he continued his career by moving to Rakuten and Yakult.

2. Is Nishikawa Haruki really married?

In conclusion, multiple reports have stated that he is married. However, he has not made this public, and there is no mention of it in the team's official announcement. According to reports, he registered his marriage while he was with Nippon Ham, and it was only made public during his time with Rakuten. His wife is said to be an ordinary woman, and her name and photos have not been made public.

His public profile and club website rarely provide updated information about his private life, and there is no detailed official information about his marriage. This later became a breeding ground for rumors.

3. Why was it said that I was “hiding my marriage”?

The main reason is believed to be the significant delay in publication.
Nishikawa Haruki is a player with an extremely large female fan base, and was especially popular as an idol during his time with the Nippon Ham Fighters. Making his marriage public too early would likely have had an impact on merchandise sales and event spending, and it appears the decision was difficult for the team.

Another reason for the delay in announcing the marriage is that his wife is a non-celebrity. Making public a non-celebrity's face and name can easily make their life unstable, and it also places a heavy burden on the media. It's highly likely that a quiet marriage was chosen to strike a balance between the athlete's popularity and his wife's privacy.

4. The truth behind the recent divorce rumors

First of all, it is a fact that neither he nor the team ever publicly announced that they were divorced.

It is believed that there were several "information discrepancies" behind the spread of divorce rumors.

On social media, a certain player's profile listing a player as "single" became a hot topic, and fans' posts that saw the listing quickly spread. However, profiles tend to vary in name depending on the year, and there are also many cases where marital information is simply not reflected.

Furthermore, during periods when players are being released from the team or are being transferred, attention is often focused on the players' private lives and family situations, and this "atmosphere" is thought to have amplified the rumors. The fact that the primary source of the marriage reports was based on media interviews also contributed to the fact that there was still some doubt as to whether it was true.

5. Information about how he met his wife and their married life

There is no official information about how they met. As she is an ordinary woman, she has never spoken about how they met or how long they have been together. The media has speculated that they were introduced through an acquaintance in Wakayama or that they met through connections between people involved, but neither of these has been confirmed.

Regarding their lifestyle, there have been articles stating that during a period when many players were being transferred, they lived in a long-distance separation, and that they maintained their married life by commuting between the Kanto and Tohoku regions. However, this is also within the scope of reports and has not been spoken about by the couple themselves.

6. Latest News: Returning to Nippon Ham Fighters after 5 years

It was reported that Haruki Nishikawa, who was released from the Yakult Swallows in November 2025, has been offered a contract by his former team, Nippon-Ham Fighters. He is highly regarded for both his achievements and his personality, having been the stolen base leader four times, his stable outfield defense, and his advice to younger players. He is expected to fill the vacant position left by Tsuyoshi Matsumoto's transfer to the Giants.

The fact that a key player from the Kuriyama era will be wearing the uniform again under Shinjo's management has attracted a lot of attention, and it will also be an important opportunity for him to revive his career.

7. Q&A: Questions fans are curious about

Q1. Did you really get divorced?

Q2. What kind of person is your wife?

Q3. Do you have any children?

Q4. Why do people say that you “hid your marriage”?
A. There may have been a combination of factors, including the influence of having a large number of female fans, consideration for merchandise sales, and protecting the privacy of his non-celebrity spouse.

Q5. Why did divorce rumors spread?
A. The rumors were fueled by inconsistencies in the player's name in the player directory, misunderstandings and their spread on social media, and increased interest that coincided with the timing of the announcement that he was no longer part of the team.

8. Summary

Regarding the topics surrounding Nishikawa Haruki, such as "marriage," "divorce," and "hiding it," information continues to circulate in fragments due to the lack of clear announcements from him. While there are multiple reports that he is married, there is absolutely no official information to support his divorce. The differences in how social media and the media handle him have only fueled the rumors, giving the strong impression that his image has taken on a life of its own.

However, he is now reportedly on the verge of returning to Nippon Ham, giving him a chance to shine again in a new environment. The best thing for fans to do is to focus on his playing rather than his private life and support him quietly.
