Comments from Kaori's retirement press-con-turned-into-marriage-announcement-press-con
Kaori: "He’s somebody I met during my university days. We're the same age. He's truly my complete opposite—a person who's always calm and thoughtful. But he never forgets to have fun and joins me in doing fun things. He's not involved in figure skating."

Kaori Sakamoto registered her marriage on May 5 with a classmate she met in college (who is not involved in figure skating).
