4 Facts about Keisuke Honda’s Wife
Fact 1)
She was a preschool teacher
Her name is Misako Honda and she used to work for preschool as a teach after graduating from high school until she got married to Keisuke.
Fact 2)
Keisuke and Misako were Highschool Sweethearts
They met through a soccer practice game between her high school and his; he was a soccer player and she was a team manager.
Honda fell in love with her at first sight, literally, because at that point they had never spoken to each other.
He decided to stand out during the game so in that way he could get her attention.
Just how he had wished, he did beat the opponent team and as soon as the practice game ended, he went over to her and asked her out for a date, as he was introducing himself.
Reportedly she already had a boyfriend back then, but guess his charm did the magic. She immediately responded with “Yes!” and that’s how they started to date initially.
They got married several years later in 2008.
3) She is a good cook!
According to sources close to both Keisuke and his wife,
“To this day, Keisuke is deeply in love with his wife. He says that she is a good cook and feeds him with great meals, so that is how he has been able to pull off even after moving to a foreign country for soccer. Without her, I wouldn’t have been where I am today”
4) She is Keisuke’s best friend and supporter
When interviewed by a Japanese magazine what made him to decide on proposing his current wife, he answered;
“Because when I go through the tough times and I need to fight with the world, she is the kind of a person who fights with me.”
To support his response, when he dyed his hair blonde as a way to show his fighting spirit in a new team, CSKA in Moscow, his wife also dyed her hair with the same color as his to show her support.
