Koji Yamamoto:Birthday present for Nana Seino was a photo of a "muscle part" "Just congratulating her is boring"

Actor Koji Yamamoto attended the Fuji TV Drama Live 2025 Winter joint event for the January 2025 drama series held in Tokyo on December 21. He revealed the unusual birthday present he gives every year to Nana Seino, with whom he has co-starred.

Yamamoto-san sends Seino-san a digital gift on his birthday every year. He seems to be particular about the photo he attaches to it, and Seino-san confessed, "Every year, he never forgets to send me a message on my birthday. It makes me really happy. But the photo is of Koji-san's muscular body..."

Yamamoto explained, "It's a muscle part," and said, "I thought just saying 'Happy Birthday' would be boring, so I thought maybe a photo would be good. I wouldn't just post a normal photo. It's a part of my well-trained muscles," which made the audience laugh.

When Kiyono revealed, "They sent me the body parts for about five years in a row, and they were all different parts of the body," Yamazaki Hiroya of the comedy duo "Untouchable," who served as MC, retorted, "Five different parts? If you put them all together it looks like Yamamoto-san? What's that, like 'De Agostini'?"

From "119 Emergency Call" (Mondays 9pm) Kiyono, Koji Seto, and Mikami Ai; from "Secret ~THE TOP SECRET~" (Mondays 10pm) Rihito Itagaki , Nakajima Yuto and Kadowaki Mugi from " Hey! Say!
