A self-proclaimed talent gets arrested for stealing leotards worth over JPY 1 million

The metropolitan police department announced the arrest of self-proclaimed talent Misaki Hashikawa (22) at Tokyo's Setagawa-ku, Sakurajousui for allegedly stealing a large number of leotards. Hashikawa admits to the crime, and comments: "I had my regrets to leotards as I used to be a gymnast. I also sold off some of the ones that I stole".

According to the Ikebukuro police station, Hashikawa entered a leotard specialty store in Toshima-ku's Ikebukuro Honcho 1-Chome at 2 pm on January 20 last year and lied by saying "I'm a student of a sports university". She brought 40 leotards used for gymnastics and figure skating to the dressing room, and was suspected of shoplifting 22 pieces (amounting to \1.01 million) by putting them in a bag and left the shop afterwards, telling the people there "I'm just going to make a phone call" and did not return.

It was discovered that the stolen goods were auctioned off on the Internet around July last year, and the account holder was Hashikawa. Hashikawa is not under any talent agency, but has previously worked as a model for photo shoots.

Kei Nishikori (tennis) to marry Honami Tsuboi (gymnastics)!!?

A sportswriter reports: "There's this woman who's always seen walking a few steps away from Kei Nishikori (23) when he's playing overseas. She goes with him and takes care of his personal life".

This "personal manager" is Honami Tsuboi (24), apparently a former member of Japan's national rhythmic gymnastics team "Fairy Japan". The two were together at the Beijing Olympics 5 years ago but hardly talked to each other back then. They started dating 3 years ago.

"Nishikori and Tsuboi had dinner together with a common friend, and immediately hit it off." - (sports writer)

Their relationship deepened further when Nishikori was diagnosed with kidney stones. 
"Nishikori had to watch his diet so that the situation wouldn't worsen. Tsuboi-san studied nutritional science and wanted Nishikori, who spends most of each year abroad, to eat 'home-cooked food' all the time." - (tennis related staff)

Immediately after they began dating, Nishikori took her to his hometown in Matsue to meet his parents. She was apparently taught by his mom there the secret to the 'taste' of the Nishikori family.

"Nishikori, who rarely gets to visit his hometown, was able to take Tsuboi-san along with him in the latter part of September. He then announced to his relatives at the gathering that he would like to get married to her."
