Yuri Ebihara Marries Rapper

It was announced on Sunday that beautiful Japanese fashion supermodel YURI EBIHARA has registered her marriage with Japanese hip hop unit Rip Slyme member rapper ILMARI.  The announcement was released through her management agency.  The couple had been dating for over a year.  In a handwritten fax the cute and sexy 30 year old wrote, “Joining forces, we will build a warm family together with plenty of smiles.”

Keisuke Ogihara, age 34 is born of a Japanese father and a Finnish mother and grew up in Tokyo.  His stage name ILMARI is taken from his Finnish middle name.  The smooth Japanese MC first met Yuri Ebihara (蛯原友里) aka “Ebi-chan” in the fall of 2008 through friends at work and started dating the Japanese fashion model hottie in spring of the following year.  Soon after the two started going out they were photographed visiting Yuri’s hometown of Miyazaki Prefecture in southern Japan.  The couple went on a vacation in Guam over the New Year and it was reported that they took a trip to France back in Februaray.

While Yuri isn’t pregnant, unlike many of the Japanese celebrities who marry, people close to her have hinted that there’s a good chance she might become pregnant soon.  Up until now Yuri, the ultimate Japanese symbol of cuteness has lived with her twin sister Eiri and her husband of 4 years.  Apparently she made a pack with her sister that they would have babies and raise them at the same time.  I think the younger sister must be getting tired of waiting and there could be some tandem pregnancy and baby popping sometime soon!

Yuri Ebihara has also said she wants to be a model all her life with no intention of quitting.  I can’t wait to see the new hot housewife supermodel or perhaps even a MILF version of Ebi-chan!  Yuri Ebihara will be a June bride and have her wedding ceremony on June 16th at a church in the suburb of Paris.  You can be sure she’ll walk down the isle wearing her own wedding dress line Acqua Grazie (アクア・グラツィエ).

More pictures of Japanese supermodel Yuri Ebihara (蛯原友里) looking glamorous in a white wedding dress at the premier of Vicky Cristina Barcelona.  Before you start scratching your head…this is the Japanese premier for the movie.  And yes, sometimes there can be major delay for the release date of Hollywood films in the Land of the Rising Sun often due to scheduling conflicts and time needed for translation.

Yuri Ebihara In Wedding Dress Ready To Commit?

The epitome of everything cute, Yuri Ebihara aka Ebi-chan (エビちゃん) has recently admitted to the public her romantic involvement with half Japanese, half Finnish musician ILMARI.  You can be sure the reporters were peppering her questions about this relationship.  When asked how she felt about wearing the pure white wedding dress, the Miyazaki Prefecture native said she was quite excited.  When asked about her thought on whether love can change a person’s life, Yuri articulately answered, “I think just love isn’t enough.  But love is one of the important ingredients.”

Yuri Ebihara at the Premier of Vicky Cristina Barcelona

Uber sexy and kawaii Japanese supermodel Yuri Ebihara (蛯原友里) appeared at the Spanish Embassy in Tokyo last Monday for the premier of Vicky Cristina Barcelona.  The 29 year old Miyazaki Prefecture native was on duty that night as the goodwill embassador for the Oscar Winning movie.

Yuri Ebihara Already In Wedding Dress?

Affectionately known to everyone in Japan as “Ebi-chan”, the supermodel showed up in a beautiful white wedding dress similar to the one worn by Penelope Cruz in the movie.  Combine that with the recent breakthrough news that Yuri has been dating Japanese hip-hop unit Rip Slyme member ILMARI, you know the reporters on hand had a throng of questions aimed right at her.

Since the face of Japanese fashion magazine CanCam‘s admission to her romantic involvement came rather out of the blue, the reporters wanted to know if Yuri has had other experience with love that arrived unexpectedly.  To which the stunning doe eyed beauty replied, “I’m rather conservation so I’m not the type to fall in love unexpectedly.  But I like the idea of being in love and being together forever.”  Could Yuri be hinting at an impending marriage?

Japanese Supermodel Yuri Ebihara for Samantha Thavasa

More photos of super cute and sexy Japanese supermodel Yuri Ebihara (蛯原友里) doing some PR work for Japanese fashion brand Samantha Thavasa at Omotesando district in Tokyo.  At the promotional event the 29 year old mainstay of Japanese fashion magazine CanCam and Miyazaki Prefecture native finally admitted her ongoing relationship with Rip Slyme MC ILMARI.

For those of you not familiar with Japan, Omotesando is the equivalent of Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills. ;)

Japanese Supermodel Yuri Ebihara Admits Relationship

Ultra kawaii Japanese supermodel Yuri Ebihara (蛯原友里) appeared as the honorary manager on Tuesday at Samantha Thavasa in the posh Tokyo district of Omotesando.  Japanese fashion brand Samantha Thavasa (サマンサタバサ)  is most well known for its trend setting handbags and it often joins forces with celebrities and high profile socialites to promote their products.  Both Paris and Nicky Hilton, Beyonce as well as Jennifer Lopez all pitch for Samantha Thavasa.

Yuri Ebihara, affectionately known by her fans as “Ebi chan” was on hand for a special promotion that invites current Samantha Thavasa handbag owners to turn in their current unit in exchange for a 3000yen (approx. $30) voucher good toward the purchase of a new handbag.  The collected second-hand bags will then be auctioned off with all the proceeds going to breast cancer reserach.  Pretty smart marketing strategy if you ask me!

Of course the hot question at the moment for Yuri Ebihara, the symbol of Japanese cuteness, is her boyfriend – popular Japanese hip hop group Rip Slyme member ILMARI.  The 29 year old Miyazaki Prefecture native was recently “caught” by Japanese tabloids dating the 33 year old MC who has half Finnish ancestry.  At the press conference Yuri came clean and told reporters that she and her beau were introduced by a mutual friend and have been dating for about 2 months.  They have even since gone back to her hometown in southern Japan together (which is a big deal in Japanese society)!
