Actress Kaho received the 50th Elan d'or Award in 2026 and attended the awards ceremony held in Tokyo on February 4th. Ryoma Takeuchi, who co-starred with her in the drama series "Jyaa, Anata ga Tsukute Miroyo" (TBS) broadcast last year, rushed to celebrate.
Takeuchi confessed, "I've been a fan of Kaho for a long time, and when I was in junior high school, I decided to put my favorite actress on my phone as my wallpaper for a month, and Kaho was my wallpaper." He said he only revealed this at this time, saying, "I thought it might be weird to say this right before the drama starts."
He continued, "I was happy to be able to create a wonderful drama together with Kaho. We tackled it with genuine passion, and I think that came across to the viewers. I'll do my best so that we can work together again!"
Kaho also smiled and said, "I was really lucky to be able to co-star with Takeuchi-kun. Thank you!"
The Elan d'or Awards are an awards system that began in 1956. This year, the Newcomer Award was removed and the winners were Amane Okayama, Kaho, Jiro Sato, Akari Takaishi, Hokuto Matsumura and Kyoko Yoshine of the popular group SixTONES. The Producer's Award went to Chieko Murata of the film "National Treasure," and Ayaka Sugita and Izumi Maruyama of the TBS drama series "So, You Make It," while the Producer's Encouragement Award went to Shota Okada of the film "Bomb" and Rena Oda of the Nippon TV drama series "Hot Spot."
