Japanese voice actor and musician, Maaya Sakamoto revealed today in her year-end wrap-up that she'll be taking a sudden, extended break from her public activities due to being pregnant with her first child to fellow voice acting husband Kenichi Suzumura. The two Ouran High School Host Club voice actors married nearly a decade ago in August 2011.

Sakamoto said in the post on her website that she is following the advice of her doctor, who told her to take an "immediate and thorough rest" a few months back, and thus will be taking a break from all of her activities until the child has been born in the new year. Sakamoto also noted that the couple "are very happy that our long-awaited dream has come true."

Maaya Sakamoto is best known as the voice of Shinobu Oshino in the Monogatari franchise, as well as Ciel Phantomhive in Black Butler, and Lightning in Final Fantasy XIII. Her husband Kenichi Suzumura, who was once voted the most popular voice actor alongside Mamoru Miyano, is best known as the voice of Lavi in D.Gray-man, Takehisa Hinawa in Fire Force, and Okita Sougo in Gintama. Both Sakamoto and Suzumura voiced Haruhi and Hikaru in Ouran High School Host Club together.
