Actor Yo Oizumi will appear in the NHK documentary program "Family History" (General) to be broadcast on December 29th from 7:30 pm. By following the footsteps of his ancestors who came from Tohoku and Shikoku, the story of a turbulent life that was at the mercy of history and entrusted dreams to the northern land is revealed. The preview also shows Oizumi wiping away tears with his hand.
The subtitle of the program on this day was "Yo Oizumi: Entrusting Hope to the Northern Lands." We looked into the roots of this popular actor born in Hokkaido.
His father's roots are in the Tohoku region. After losing the Boshin War, he headed north on a ship that sank, but he narrowly escaped death and made it to Hokkaido, a new land, where he endured the cold and started anew from scratch. On the other hand, his mother's side... What does Oizumi think about the footsteps of both families that overcame hardships, and the love and youth of his father and mother in their youth?
