Profile of Megumi Hirose

・Name: Megumi Hirose
・Date of Birth: June 27, 1966
・Age: 58 years (as of July 2024)
・Hometown: Morioka City, Iwate Prefecture
・Hobbies: Dance, Aerobics, Gym, Walking, Music, Movies
・Education: Morioka First High School in Iwate Prefecture → Sophia University, Faculty of Foreign Languages

Morioka First High School has an academic ranking of 66 and during her high school years, she experienced a study abroad program in West Unity, Ohio, USA.

She seems to have entered Sophia University’s Faculty of Foreign Languages!

After getting married, she was a full-time housewife for a while, but in 1999 she challenged herself by taking the bar exam and successfully passed.

It seems that she was inspired to take the exam after observing her husband’s work and thinking it looked “interesting,” but it’s impressive that someone could pass with such a simple motivation, indicating her considerable abilities.

Family Structure of Megumi Hirose

Megumi Hirose seems to be part of a family of four, including two children.

Let’s take a closer look.

Megumi Hirose’s Husband

The name of Megumi Hirose’s husband has not been disclosed. The only images found are from the past.

It has been revealed that Megumi Hirose’s husband is

・A high school classmate
・Profession: Lawyer

He is said to be from the same Morioka First High School and apparently sat in the same class and next to Megumi.

Since he is a classmate of Megumi Hirose, as of 2024, he is also 58 years old.

Although they attended the same high school, they seem to have gone to different universities, and it appears that Megumi Hirose’s husband is a University of Tokyo graduate and an elite!

This means that before Megumi Hirose became a politician, they both worked as lawyers!

Additionally, although the name has not been disclosed, there are rumors that he is named Shouichi Hirose (廣瀬勝一).

Shouichi Hirose is a lawyer associated with the Ginza East Law Office, and there are two main reasons why it is thought that he might be Megumi Hirose’s husband.

Reason 1: Works at the same law office as Megumi
Reason 2: Registered as a lawyer in 1994 (47th Judicial Training Course)

However, this is merely speculation and rumors, and there is a difference in surnames between “Hirose” and “廣瀬”.

If this person is indeed the husband of Megumi Hirose, then it would indicate that her real name might be “廣瀬,” but nothing is certain!

Megumi Hirose’s Children

Megumi Hirose has two children.

It seems that her first son was born in March 1996, two years after their marriage, and her daughter was born in March 2001.

As of July 2024, they are 28 years old and 23 years old!

This image seems to show her first son at 5 years old and her daughter just after she was born.

On her official site, it says “The youngest child was just born, and it was the hardest time after the bar exam.”

Studying while raising children and obtaining qualifications… that’s impressive!

Both parents holding legal qualifications would mean that their two children are likely to be very capable too!

Conclusion

This time, I summarized the family structure of Megumi Hirose.

While she has frequently caused troubles and appeared in the news, it has become clear that Megumi Hirose is a highly capable individual.

We would like to see her continue her efforts in political activities.
