62-year-old actor Ikkei Watanabe 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 June 3rd.
He and Kuroyanagi performed together in the reading play "Harold and Maude" two years ago, and made a mistake during the performance. The two look back on their time together. He is originally from Aichi Prefecture and is active as a "Toyokawa Public Relations Ambassador." He says that he sometimes goes back to Aichi to see his parents who live there, and that his sister came over during the New Year holidays and they spent time together as a family. It seems that originally, it was his sister who was interested in acting first.
Married for 32 years, the couple is constantly at the mercy of their two beloved cats. When one of the cats went missing, the wife hired a cat detective to search for it.
