Shiho is the wife of the famous Japanese-born former top judoka who has built fame in Korea as a mixed martial artist and TV personality.

Shiho’s charm was shared by the public. A media report Friday described her as “a chameleon that exudes many colors of charms,” “surprisingly easygoing compared to a preconception people might have about a popular model” and “a mother as attractive as a high school girl.”
