first passport

Mako, granddaughter of then Emperor Akihito, and Kei Komuro met in 2012, and announced their engagement five years later. The couple planned to marry a year later, but delayed the wedding date, arguing that they “needed more time to plan their future together.” According to unofficial reports, the wedding date was postponed due to the Komuro family’s financial problems and controversy.

In the end, Mako and her college friend got married at the end of october. After the wedding, the daughter of the heir to the throne Akishino and Princess Kiko received her first passport to accompany her husband on his trip to the United States.

Mako is the first female imperial in post-war Japan to marry without a traditional court ceremony and refuse high statutory severance compensation from the state budget with a 150 million yen ($1.3 million) loss. After the wedding, she took her husband’s surname.
