He reportedly fell in love at first sight and tried to set up a meeting through acquaintances for two years, but he kept getting turned down since she preferred to maintain a professional relationship with the players. Following Kikuchi’s eventual organization of a casual dinner party in November 2015 that included Rumi Fukatsu and a mutual friend, they subsequently began dating in December 2015.

Before the start of the 2016 baseball season, Kikuchi proposed to Rumi in March. The couple’s relationship flourished over time and they welcomed their lovely son, Leo. The couple looks lovely together and shares a very warm and loving relationship.
