This article does not seem to mention this but Bobby Fischer lived in Japan and his wife is a WIM - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miyoko_Watai.

He certainly had his insanities but some accounts say he was quite sane in his later years, and it must be amusing to be possibly the GOAT and living incognito in a place where chess wasn’t played much.
