After finishing shopping at the supermarket, Ogawa went back alone to an apartment away from home.
On February 16th, it was reported by “FRIDAY DIGITAL” that Masatoshi Hamada of the comedy duo Downtown was having an affair with a 24-year-old beauty esthetician.
According to the article, A, a beautiful esthetician living in Osaka, testified that she met secretly several times in Hamada and Umeda from 2018 to 2019. A former entertainer who was her drinking friend introduced Hamada to her, saying, “Your wife is okay with that sort of thing.”

It was also said that on the day they first met, A brought Hamada’s favorite French cruller and started crying, saying, “This is the first time I’ve had you do this.” It is said that the relationship between the two was “papa katsu”, and he revealed, “We met about four times and received about 300,000 yen in total.”
For Hamada, this is the first female scandal since her affair with a gravure idol was reported in 2014. Is this going to be a crisis in the marital relationship? On January 16, this magazine reported on the separate life of Hamada and her wife, Natsumi Ogawa.
The two met in 1987 in the Kansai local drama “Downtown Story” (Mainichi Broadcasting) and registered their marriage in 1989. In 2023, we will enter the 34th year of marriage. However, an acquaintance of Ogawa told this magazine interview.
“Mr. Hamada’s home is famous for his large mansion in Seijo, Tokyo. Mr. is still in Seijo.”
In early December 2022, after performing on stage in Shimokitazawa, Ogawa got into the office car and headed straight to a luxury supermarket. She bought packs of rice, etc., and headed to the apartment in question. The next morning, Ogawa, who “went to work” from the same apartment to the theater, never “returned home” to Seijo. On the other hand, when Hamada finishes recording at the TV station, she returns to Seijo as before.
On December 30, 2022, Ogawa reported on her blog that her husband and friends had a surprise party, and in interviews with various media, she talked about how she was a married couple. But we have witnessed her live her separate life again, well into the new year.
Was there suddenly a draught between the husband and wife that led to separation? Or was it the “masked couple” who continued to deceive the eyes of those around them for many years?
“The separation is Ogawa-san’s ‘counterattack’,” said a TV station official.
“In 2014, Mr. Hamada was reported to have had an affair with a gravure idol. I’m Mr.
As soon as the affair was reported, Ogawa immediately denied the divorce. “My house is fine!” “I’m a depressed gorilla,” she responded in a grown-up way, and she received rave reviews from the public.
“However, in fact, it seems that there was a ‘shamble’. Mr. Hamada was forced to admit his fault completely and apologized. Since then, Mr. Ogawa has overwhelmingly dominated the power relationship between the couple. Above: Ms. Hamada often jokes to those around her that “If you disobey your wife, you will be killed.” Naturally, Ms. Hamada cannot stop Ms. Ogawa from leaving, contrary to what happened 9 years ago. ”(Previously mentioned, TV station official)
However, what is repeated night after night in Ogawa’s apartment is “memorizing lines.”
“Mr. Ogawa turned 50 and finished raising her children, and returned to acting. Originally an acting school from Bungakuza, in recent years she has been active on stage. Although she just finished in December 2022. , From February to the end of March 2023, Goro Kishitani will perform on stage in Kyoto, Fukuoka, and then Tokyo.It is said that he will appear on stage in Shimokitazawa in May.Mr. I don’t remember it, but it’s annoying when I’m around.’ So he went out of his way to rent a room so that he could concentrate on the stage. The marital relationship of living separately will continue.” (entertainment reporter)
The separation of the two may be the result of the change in the comfortable distance between the couple. I wonder how Ogawa will react to this report.
