FC Tokyo attacking midfielder Keigo Higashi announced his marriage through his club on Tuesday.
The 25-year-old Fukuoka native is in his third year with the club, and has scored two goals in 17 appearances this season.
“We registered our marriage on September 5,” Higashi revealed. “We’re incredibly happy but I also feel the added responsibility of a family to protect them.
“I now want to focus harder than ever before on my footballing career, so thank you for your support.”
