Singer-songwriter Okamura Takako (41) and former baseball star Ishii Hiro (39) have recently divorced. They have been separated since December of last year. Okamura, who will have custody of their 6-year old daughter, is scheduled to restart her musical career with a tour in December. She complained in the past that her husband had no interest in family life. During a 14-year playing career, Ishii was known as a man’s man and was a clean-up hitter for several teams including the Kintetsu Buffaloes, Yomiuri Giants, and Yokohama Bay Stars. He became Japan’s third ¥100 million player in 1993. He is currently a baseball commentator and is slated to become second-base coach for the Seibu Lions next season.
