Actress Maiko Ito will make her first appearance on Tetsuko Kuroyanagi's long-running talk show "Tetsuko's Room" (TV Asahi), which will air on February 16th at 1:00 p.m.

Ito debuted as an idol in 1983 and later worked as an actor. Wanting to do something to help people, he enrolled at Waseda University at the age of 45, where he studied preventive medicine and went on to graduate school.

He is currently working as a researcher at the University of Tokyo Graduate School, where he continues to conduct research on anti-aging. Since April of last year, he has also been teaching as a university professor. His motivation for taking up the position came when he took over the company run by his brother, who had suddenly passed away, and he decided to study humming science in the hopes of gaining the skills to provide advice to employees on their concerns.
