Ryuta Watanabe, a 36-year-old man from Japan who is married to four women and dating two others, revealed that he dreams of becoming the “god of marriage.”
The man from Hokkaido, who aims to be a father of 54 children, has not worked for about a decade and lives off the money of his wives. While polygamy is illegal in the country, the women are officially recognized as his partners in the eyes of the law as a form of “stable union.”
While his wives are out earning money, Watanabe acts as a “house husband,” cooking, doing housework, and taking care of the children. His women share monthly expenses totaling 914,000 yen (over $6,000).
“I just love women. As long as we love each other equally, there will be no problems,” he said earlier this year on the show Abema Prime. He shared that he started dating various women through dating apps about six years ago after breaking up with his girlfriend.
Watanabe stated that he sleeps with a different “wife” each night. In addition to ensuring that his partners don’t get jealous of each other, he bragged about his busy intimate life, claiming to engage in sexual activity about 28 times a week.
He further declared that his goal is to break the record for the most children born in the country, becoming the so-called god of marriage. “I want to have 54 children so my name will be recorded in history. I am still looking for new wives.”
