Personal Life[]

Name Meaning
YUTA's given name, "優太", means "excellence, gentleness" (優) and "thick, big" (太)

Family
YUTA's father is Takahashi Shigetomo (髙橋重智 b. August 10, 1984)[4], known as "Katsunori", a former professional MMA fighter and MMA instructor. His mother is Yamamoto Akiko (山本晃子 b. January 1, 1978)[5], who works as a martial arts, fitness and yoga instructor[6]. YUTA is an only child[7].

YUTA's parents divorced in 2018, when he was 6 years old[8]. Afterwards, from his childhood home in Tokyo, he and his mom moved to Chigasaki, Kanagawa[9], while his dad returned to his home prefecture of Fukushima[10]. For this reason, YUTA doesn't see his father often. YUTA's mom struggled with being present for her son, since she had to work a lot, so he had to be home alone and even go to his dance lessons on his own. However, when she told him she was thinking of changing jobs to be with YUTA more often, he told her that teaching is her happiness and that she shouldn't give that up for him.

In Chigasaki, YUTA and his mom keep a male shiba inu called Allen. They used to have a female shiba inu called Sakura, who passed away in December 2022[11] and a hamster called Mantaro, who passed away in July 2020[12].

YUTA's paternal grandparents are farmers in Nihonmatsu, Fukushima[13].
