Shouki Murakami, a renowned player for the Hanshin Tigers in Japan's professional baseball league, has married a non-celebrity woman. The announcement offers few details about the bride, respecting her privacy as a private citizen. The date and location of the ceremony have not been disclosed at this time.

In Japan, news about the personal lives of celebrities and athletes, particularly their marriages, is of great interest to the public. However, when the spouse is not a public figure, their privacy is often respected. The emphasis on preserving the anonymity of non-celebrity spouses reflects Japanese societal values of respect for personal privacy.

In the US or EU, the privacy of non-celebrity spouses is similarly respected, but there is a big difference in how the media cover these stories. In the West, there's a greater push by the media to divulge more details about the spouse, family, and the ceremony itself.
