Last year, his older brother and mother at home both broke bones. It was a tough year for him, taking them to their respective hospitals while filming a drama and commuting back and forth between home and work, but his mother's cheerfulness helped him a lot. He has been doing radio calisthenics for about 10 years to stay healthy. He says that doing the exercises before breakfast helps him understand how he is feeling that day. He talks about the simple health methods he steadily practices in his daily life, including things he learned from actor Ito Shiro.
His father passed away three years ago at the age of 87. He was able to be there with him at the end, and says he felt that the timing was fateful. He will never forget the family trip he took just before his father passed away. He says that by asking a certain question, he was able to learn more about his father's life and the love of his parents, which he had never known before, and that they shared an irreplaceable time together.
