He married an imaginary bride, and yet he began to suffer from disagreements

A Japanese man has married a fictional computer-generated pop singer - and yet he begins to have disagreements with her and complains that he can't get along with her.

Akihiko Kondo, 38, had been dating Hatsune Miku - who was portrayed as a 16-year-old with turquoise hair in pop culture - for a decade before having a casual wedding in 2018.

Kondo is one of the many people in the world who are romantically attracted to fictional characters.

The young man spent nearly 2 million yen on weddings.

His family did not attend, but 39 people did, including strangers and online friends, some of whom were virtual avatars as well.

Kondo told the BBC: "There are two reasons why I'm getting married in public."

“The first is to prove my love for Miko.

The second is that there are many otaku guys like me who fall in love with anime characters.

I want to show the world that I support them.”

According to Newshub, Kondo has fallen in love with her since 2008, after being bullied in the workplace, when he left work and felt isolated and depressed. And then he stayed in his room all day watching videos of Miku all the time, he says.

In 2017, Kido was finally able to interact with his "lover" for the first time using the Gatebox, a $1,300 machine that allows device owners to interact with characters via holograms and even marry them informally.

However, the relationship faced a dead end after his marriage for four years.

According to the Japanese newspaper, Mainichi, Kondo can no longer communicate with Miku due to a technological obstacle

In a report from Newshub, Gamebox has been removed globally, meaning he can no longer talk to his wife.. But Komedo says his love for Miku "has not changed," noting that he owns a life-size (doll) version of her.



"I had the wedding because I thought I could be with her forever," said the disappointed lover.

Familiar with fans of anime and Japanese culture, Hatsune Miku is also a commercial promotional element for merchandise, video games, and anime series.
