Acclaimed voice actors Hanazawa Kana and Ono Kensho have made the joint announcement of their divorce. The popular figures in Japan's animation industry specified in their statement that they have decided to go their separate ways but will continue to respect and support each other professionally. The timing of the divorce and reasons behind it have not been disclosed explicitly. Fans, industry peers, and netizens nationwide have expressed their sentiments on this unexpected news.

In Japan, celebrity divorces often spark massive interest and speculation among fans and the public, despite the private nature of such matters. The Japanese consider marriage not simply as a love contract, but with heavy societal and familial contexts. Each celebrity's decision to announce their divorce publicly is seen as a mature way to deal directly with rumors and speculations, reaffirming their commitment to their work and their respect for fans.

In the US or EU, celebrity divorces are also common headlines. They are often sensationalized and may even overshadow the individuals' professional achievements. Discussions about the legal aspects or financial settlement are more frequent. However, it's notable that the Japanese approach tends to value discretion and respect for personal boundaries more.
