Rie Oh (王 理恵, Ō Rie, born March 7, 1970, in Tokyo, Japan) is a TV sportscaster and presenter on the J-Wave radio station in Japan.[1]

Oh is the second daughter of former baseball player and Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks team manager Sadaharu Oh.[1] She graduated from Aoyama Gakuin University in Tokyo,[2] and is also qualified as a "Junior vegetable and fruit meister" or "Vegetable sommelier".[2][3] She worked for the Hakuhodo advertising agency before moving to TV in 1996.[3]

Rie Oh holds Taiwanese citizenship because her father did not want his daughters to become naturalized Japanese, although neither could speak Chinese.[4]

Previously married twice, Oh was engaged to marry psychiatrist Masaki Honda in January 2008,[5] but subsequently broke off the engagement.[6] Honda was the personal doctor to sumo yokozuna Asashoryu.[5]
