Imada Mio:When he was in his second year of high school, he was scouted in his hometown of Fukuoka. His teacher encouraged him to pursue his dream of becoming an actor. He was also encouraged by the words of a veteran actor on "Tetsuko's Room."

27-year-old actor Mio Imada will make her first appearance on Kuroyanagi Tetsuko's long-running talk show "Tetsuko's Room" (TV Asahi) on December 4th at 1pm. She was scouted in her second year of high school in Fukuoka, where she was born and raised, and started her career in show business while keeping her promise to her parents to prioritize her studies. Her catchphrase at the time was "The cutest girl in Fukuoka." She recalls that when she was deciding on her future career in her third year of high school, her homeroom teacher supported her dream of becoming an actor. She persuaded her parents and they agreed, but they gave her the condition that "the deadline was 22 years old, when everyone else graduates from university." She moved to Tokyo at the age of 19 and worked desperately to produce results within the deadline. She reveals that the words of her co-star, actor Kiichi Nakai, were a great support for her. As a child, her parents loved the outdoors and would take her camping. Footage of her enjoying her first camping trip at the age of 3 will be shown.
