Unexpected but not surprising.  Congrats to them both.

Careful, guys. ZUN's child might go all rebellious and shun video games in general, and go for a job in finance.

I sincerely doubt he's going to name his kid after one of his characters. That's something you just don't do to your child.

Tengukami has won this thread.

A detail I should point out is that like most families with a freelancer husband and a full time worker wife, ZUN is generally the one who does chores and cooks.

Ah, but is he a good cook?

Also, it says that ZUN is having a baby. O_O

Title fixed (again). He seems to be a good cook - I posted the new year dinner he made here. He tweets about cooking and reading cook books once in a while.

Oh my goodness, I'm so happy for ZUN and his wife and wish them the best of luck. I can totally see ZUN as the housekeeper husband and my mental image is so adorable.

Also, Tengukami is the king of ruining dreams.  :derp:

It's extremely doubtful that he'd name them after an existing character, but if he applies the same naming sense then the results will be interesting.

Wait what if there's a twist and a new Touhou character will be named after his child in the future? :V

A thought occurs - if she's getting maternity leave starting now and the law is that it starts 6 weeks in advance, that's a due date of sometime in the middle of June. Counting nine months back from that...I wonder if this is an AWA baby.

If he names her Peaches/Momoko, we'll know for sure.

Hmm. I'm rather neutral about this. I just keep thing about what will happen afterwards when this kind of thing happens.

So eh.

(Although I'm curious about the gender and how the kid would react when s/he finds out that his/her father is extremely popular across Japan...)

What do you mean? Diaper changes? Sleepless nights? Spontaneous vomiting? Saying good-bye to your social life? Or do you mean that awkward moment when your kid picks her nose in public, and eats it, and some stranger notices it before you do and gives you this look like you're the worst parent ever?

Nah, it'd go like this:

      "The Touhous are all married with children now kthxbai."

ZUN seems to be a smart guy who puts a lot of thought and care into his work. I don't think it's inconceivable that he won't have time to keep making games regularly, and could even officially retire, but I imagine he would do it tactfully and respectfully to his fans. I have faith in ZUN to be ZUN no matter what happens.
I made a PADHerder. It's probably out of date though.

And let's also consider that ZUN is a grown-ass man who likely made an informed decision when he and his wife chose to try to become parents. Which means he has no intention of quitting Touhou, at least not in his immediate plans. Let's also consider this is literally his life's work here. It's not like he'd have to choose between parenthood and, say, a minimum wage job at 7-11.

Somehow all this conjecture of how someone is going to deal with their personal life/name their child/what sex the child will be is weirding me out.

In a way...it kinda feels the same as people who follow more well-known celebrities. I know I've seen plenty of magazines at the grocery store with the bachelor's latest scandal, baby news from Jennifer Aniston and the princess, and so on. Just instead of Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez...it's ZUN and his wife.

And less scandals.

I hope.

Japanese society is a lot more hands off about people's private lives. Most people don't even know their favourite celebrity is dating someone until they announce their engagement. ZUN might be well known among otakus, but he's hardly tabloid fodder.

Also it's pretty rare for celebrities to announce the name of their kid, for privacy reasons, so don't expect any confirmation behind your naming theories, everyone!
