TV Asahi announcer (“ana” for short) Tokunaga Yumi (27) came clean about her affair with Uchimura Teruyoshi (photo, 38) of the comedy duo Uchan Nanchan, and she has quit as presenter of the Super Morning program. Tokunaga joined TV Asahi in 1998 and married director Suda Koju (29) two years ago. But they have been separated since last month. Uchimura is one of Japan’s most eligible bachelors who seems to have a thing for female announcers.
