A Japanese man has married a character in a popular video game, taking her - and his handheld game console - on an overseas honeymoon. The man, SAL9000, met character Nene Anegasaki while playing dating simulation game “Love Plus”. They got married a few weeks ago, broadcasting their ceremony live on Japan's version of video-sharing website Youtube. SAL9000, who did not want to reveal his real name for fear of being misunderstood, admits to be an “otaku”, a breed of Japanese youth obsessed with video games, computers and fantasy worlds. The newlyweds, who went on a honeymoon to Guam, now go on dates around Tokyo, with SAL9000 taking pictures of Nene, installed in his Nintendo DS, in front of famous landmarks and then posting them on social networking sites.
