BJ Umai Rookie of the Year Photosjpg










Starting with the theater stage, he’s been playing various villains and extras

There was a time when I gave up my acting career and worked hard

When I was in the theater company, I was persuaded by my acquaintance, Masanobu Katsumura

He’s back as an actor, but nothing has changed in his minor role


Then, in the NHK epic drama Mori Motonari

As the father of the heroine

Life is beginning to bloom

It just means that he’s moved up from a minor role to a supporting role

Only villainous roles are given afterwards


Then, I got to play the role of Yakuza Ryu in the drama “Late Night Restaurant”

We’re going to shoot an eating show and the producer will notice us


As a result, I was chosen as the main character for the first time in my life

A lonely gourmet that everyone knows well

an inokashira furnace


hold out for more than 20 years in obscurity to succeed

a big hit in one’s later years
