In a country where polygamy is illegal, a man with four wives and two girlfriends is aiming to give birth to 54 children and become the “god of marriage” eventually.

The 36-year-old man, Ryuta Watanabe, lives in the northern prefecture of Hokkaido in Japan. He has not been working for the last 10 years and has living on the salaries earned by his wives and girlfriends.

As reported by Shueisha Online, Watanabe already has 10 children and has been living with two of them and three of his wives.

He has stepped into the role of househusband and does all the housework, cooking and takes care of the children.

The household expenses which are around $6,000 every month get split between his wives and girlfriends.

…

Watanabe said his aim is to break the record of fathering the highest number of children in Japan and gaining the title of so-called “God of Marriage”.

As per records, Tokugawa Ienari - who was a shogun and died in 1841 - had fathered nearly 53 children with 27 concubines in his reign in the Edo Period.

“I want to have 54 children so my name will go down in history. I’m still looking for new wives," Watanabe said.

    I think this is the most likely answer. Target women who are 1. Mostly attracted to other women and 2. Want to be in a polyamorous relationship. I’m basing this on zero information, but this is a scenario that would make sense to me.
