Kanako Enomoto visits Seattle to support husband Kazuhiro Sasaki

Former actress and idol Kanako Enomoto has drawn public attention following social media posts documenting her visit to T-Mobile Park in Seattle. The posts featured her husband, former MLB pitcher Kazuhiro Sasaki, who was honored at a ceremony celebrating the Seattle Mariners' top 50 players.

Enomoto, known for her prominent roles in the 1990s and her candid public persona, has undergone a significant career transition since marrying Sasaki in 2005. After retiring from the entertainment industry to focus on childcare, she entered the business sector by founding a successful soup curry restaurant chain.

Following her resignation as CEO in 2023 and the subsequent sale of her restaurant business, Enomoto has pivoted to corporate and management roles. She currently manages Sasaki’s professional affairs and was appointed as an outside director for the retail giant ABC Mart in May 2025.
