Kozono Kaito (26), a key infielder for the Hiroshima Toyo Carp of Japanese professional baseball, and influencer and model Watanabe Lisa (24) have ended their marriage after five years. The couple officially announced their divorce through their respective social media accounts (SNS).

Japan's "Daily Sports" reported on the 31st that "while they informed the public of their divorce via SNS, they remained completely silent regarding the specific reasons for the breakup."

Kozono posted a brief statement on his SNS account: "I have divorced Ms. Watanabe. I will refrain from commenting on the circumstances leading to this divorce," adding, "I ask for your continued warm support in the future."

Watanabe also drew a line on the same day, stating, "I cannot disclose the reasons or circumstances that led to our divorce, and I will refrain from making any further comments regarding Mr. Kozono." On the matter of child custody, she said, "The children will live with me," and added, "I would be grateful if fans could understand and watch over them warmly."

Watanabe Lisa debuted at age 14 as a model for the popular teenage fashion magazine "Popteen," gaining significant popularity. She is currently a top influencer with over one million followers on platforms like TikTok and serves as an exclusive model for the fashion magazine "Zena."

Of Brazilian descent, she gave birth to her first child during her teenage years, drawing public attention as a "teenage mother" model. Later, in 2021 at age 19, she married Kozono and gave birth to their second child, raising two children together. However, following this divorce announcement, they have decided to go separate ways.

This divorce news comes as a significant shock to fans, given that just six months ago, the couple was still presenting themselves as a harmonious pair. Media outlets reported: "The two, who married in 2021 when Kozono was 20, even shared photos of themselves together at last year's club fan appreciation day, showcasing their affectionate relationship."

Meanwhile, Kozono achieved the batting title and highest on-base percentage title for the first time since his debut last year, earning a double crown. Riding this momentum, he was selected as a member of the Japanese national team for the World Baseball Classic (WBC) in March this year. However, during this season, he has recorded somewhat subdued statistics with 101 games played, a batting average of .257, one home run, and 23 RBIs. He is currently excluded from the first-team roster and undergoing adjustment training in the second division.
