Hiroshi Tamaki and Haruka Kinami are a Japanese celebrity couple who 'grow on you the more you look.' They met through mutual friends in 2010, were friends for six years, grew closer after co-starring in the 2017 special drama Women's Medal, registered their marriage in June 2018, held a wedding in New Zealand in early 2019, and welcomed their first child in 2020. When their BaZi charts are compared, the conclusion is one sentence: This is a 'moderate' compatibility chart, with clear strengths and weaknesses—they are each other's 'Spouse Star,' the strongest true fate attraction in fortune analysis; but the Marriage Palace (Day Branch) has a Xu-Chen Six Clash, meaning attraction coexists with a conflict that requires mindful management.
In other words, this is not a 'smooth' match with all combinations and zero flaws, but a relationship where 'each recognizes the other as the one, yet they must smooth out the edges before entering marriage.' It took eight years to reach marriage, and the chart had already written that story.

First, Look at Their Charts
Both have only three pillars publicly known (hour pillar unknown), but the Day Master, Ten Gods, and Marriage Palace (Day Branch) are unaffected by the hour pillar, so the main compatibility analysis still holds. The hour pillar is left blank in the tables below.
Hiroshi Tamaki (Male, born 1980-01-14) Day Master Bing Fire, Weak Self.
| Pillar | Year | Month | Day | Hour |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Heavenly Stem | Ji | Ding | Bing | |
| Earthly Branch | Wei | Chou | Xu | |
| Ten Gods | Maverick | Rival | Day Master |
Haruka Kinami (Female, born 1985-08-09) Day Master Geng Metal, Strong Self.
| Pillar | Year | Month | Day | Hour |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Heavenly Stem | Yi | Jia | Geng | |
| Earthly Branch | Chou | Shen | Chen | |
| Ten Gods | Earner | Venturer | Day Master |
Why Are They 'Attracted Yet Need to Grind' in Fortune Analysis?
This couple's uniqueness lies in placing two seemingly contradictory things on the same chart: on one side, the strongest true fate signal in fortune analysis; on the other, a direct clash in the Marriage Palace. Let's break it down piece by piece—all from algorithmic objective comparison of the two real charts, not manual judgment.
Spouse Star: Mutual Spouse Stars, the Strongest True Fate Attraction
First, the most critical and biggest highlight of this pair.
By formula, a man's Wife Star = Wealth = the element that the Day Master overcomes. Hiroshi Tamaki's Day Master is Bing Fire, Fire overcomes Metal, so his Wife Star is 'Metal.' A woman's Husband Star = Officer/Seven Kill = the element that overcomes the Day Master. Haruka Kinami's Day Master is Geng Metal, Fire overcomes Metal, so her Husband Star is 'Fire.'
When you align them, it's fascinating: Hiroshi Tamaki's Day Master is Bing Fire, which is exactly Haruka Kinami's Husband Star (Fire); and Haruka Kinami's Day Master is Geng Metal, which is exactly Hiroshi Tamaki's Wife Star (Metal). This is the strongest 'Mutual Spouse Star' in fortune analysis—your natal element is exactly the one the other person's chart says they should marry. The algorithm also synchronously verifies that their Day Masters Bing and Geng overcome each other (Fire overcomes Metal), which is precisely the Wife Star relationship of 'Hiroshi Tamaki's Fire overcoming Haruka Kinami's Metal,' with no deviation in direction.
Mutual Spouse Stars mean the two are naturally drawn to each other with a sense of 'this is the one.' This echoes reality—they were just friends for six years, but once feelings ignited, the pace was fast and the commitment was decisive, leading to marriage registration within a year.
Marriage Palace (Day Branch): Xu-Chen Six Clash, the Hurdle Within the Attraction
But the Marriage Palace, the most important aspect of compatibility, shows a red flag here.
Hiroshi Tamaki's Day Branch is Xu, Haruka Kinami's Day Branch is Chen, and the algorithm determines a Xu-Chen Six Clash. The Marriage Palace is the core palace of marriage, and a Six Clash indicates that in the most intimate and private aspects of coexistence, there is a natural tension of 'butting heads'—values, life rhythms, who takes a step back, these daily aspects are prone to friction.
This is precisely why this match is 'moderate' rather than 'superior': Mutual Spouse Stars strongly attract them, but the Marriage Palace Six Clash sets a hurdle at the door. The attraction is real, and so is the need for grinding. They can succeed and last, but it won't be effortless—it requires conscious compromise and management from both.
Other Pillars: One Generating Cycle Supports, but the Year Pillar Adds Another Clash
Let's complete the picture by looking at the other pillars.
The good news is that the Month Stems Ding and Jia generate each other (Jia Wood generates Ding Fire)—this is a rare generating cycle in their charts, acting like a soft buffer that reduces some of the hard impact from the Marriage Palace clash.
But the Year Pillar is another hurdle: Hiroshi Tamaki's Year Pillar is Ji Wei, Haruka Kinami's is Yi Chou, with Heavenly Stems Ji and Yi overcoming each other and Earthly Branches Wei and Chou in Six Clash and also Punishment. The Year Pillar often relates to family of origin, elders, and early foundations. This combination of clash and punishment suggests that family backgrounds, relationships with elders, or early-life concepts may also require some harmonization.
Counting overall: one generating cycle (Month Stems), three overcoming/clash points (Day Master, Year Stems, Marriage Palace, plus Year Branch Punishment). There are many weaknesses, but the Mutual Spouse Star provides the strongest true fate signal as a foundation—this is the complete ledger for the algorithm's 'moderate' rating: the attraction foundation is very strong, but conflict points are real and require mindful management.
Timing Verification: Eight Years as Friends, One-Year Quick Marriage, Child After Marriage
Looking at structure alone is not enough; we must see if reality matches.
They met in 2010 but remained friends for six full years—this fits the 'Marriage Palace Six Clash' chart: despite Mutual Spouse Stars and attraction, it wasn't love at first sight; there was a tension that needed time to smooth out. It wasn't until their 2017 co-starring in Women's Medal that things heated up, leading to marriage registration in June 2018 and a wedding in New Zealand in early 2019—once committed, fast and decisive, manifesting the sense of certainty from Mutual Spouse Stars. Their first child was born in 2020, solidifying the marriage.
A relationship that 'took long to know each other, came together quickly, and gradually stabilized after marriage' perfectly plays out both sides of this chart: Mutual Spouse Stars gave them the confidence to recognize each other, while the Marriage Palace clash explains why they needed to endure those six years as friends. The 'moderate' rating from BaZi algorithm is never 'not compatible,' but 'strong attraction requiring mindful management'—and they, through eight years of companionship and post-marriage stability, have turned this 'moderate' into an enviable picture.
