Actor Ichirota Miyagawa will be appearing on Tetsuko Kuroyanagi's long-running talk show "Tetsuko's Room" (TV Asahi), which will be broadcast at 1:00 pm on May 13th.
He made his debut in the movie "Family Game" in 1983 and has been an actor for over 40 years. Last year, he made his long-awaited first appearance in the NHK Taiga drama "To Dear Radiance (Hikaru Kimi e)", which became a hot topic. He says that he received a lot of positive feedback, and that his mother's friends were especially pleased.
His private life has been full of ups and downs, and after his divorce 20 years ago he raised two daughters on his own. His second daughter got married and two years ago his first grandchild was born, making him a grandfather. He also reveals the story of how in the same year he welcomed his ex-wife into his home and was with his daughter as she passed away. In recent years he has begun a new challenge with his daughter's husband. Miyagawa, who will be turning 60 next year, talks about his dreams for the future.
