Actor Tomio Umezawa and his wife Akiko Ikeda, who is seven years younger than him, will be appearing on Tetsuko Kuroyanagi's long-running talk show "Tetsuko's Room" (TV Asahi), which will be broadcast at 1pm on February 5th. Akiko, who is currently the principal of a school that teaches botanical therapy and hand care, said with a wry smile that Umezawa "turns even mischief into a laughing matter." In response, Umezawa makes an excuse (?).
Last year, their second daughter, who had been living with them, moved out, and for the first time since they got married, it was just the two of them living together. Umezawa is a little confused, but thanks to Akiko's efforts, who says she "studied psychology because I married such a husband," the couple is happy. The secret to this is "contact."
Akiko loves mountains and nature, and dreams of going to Yakushima with her husband, but Umezawa hates mountains. Kuroyanagi makes a decision about this. Umezawa is eager to continue acting as a female role until he is 80 years old.
