Kotaro Koizumi in a suit with a serious expression on his face…spotted and photographed in front of the “Metropolitan Police Department” at Sakuradamon.
In mid-November, Kotaro Koizumi, 44, appeared in a suit and tie in front of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department at Sakuradamon gate (Chiyoda Ward) in the morning as businessmen pass by on their way to work, filming for the WOWOW drama “Fixer. Koizumi plays a detective in the Investigation Department of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department who is in pursuit of a fixer in this social suspense drama about a fixer who controls the political, financial, and legal worlds. On the day of the shooting, the scene was filmed with Koizumi walking in front of the Metropolitan Police Department with a stern expression on his face, talking on his phone.
Koizumi tends to be emphasized only because of his father’s influence as a former prime minister. ……
The most shocking thing was the news of his love affair with actress A. They had been together for about six months, but he was not able to get her to go to the police station. They dated for about six months, but they broke up. A few months later she committed suicide. Although the breakup with Koizumi was not the direct cause, I heard that she was quite exhausted at the time.
Perhaps it was this heartache and conflict that added depth to his character as an actor, and recently he has been making his presence felt as a valuable bye player in TV dramas and movies.
Koizumi-san has a wide range of acting skills, from playing a nice young man to playing a villain who seems to have something in his gut. Kotaro-san, who has achieved his current position entirely on his own, is cooler as a man than his younger brother Shinjiro-san, who is walking the same path as his father. I think he will eventually become an award-winning presence,” said columnist Takahiko Kageyama.
Koizumi will celebrate the 20th anniversary of his acting career this year. The remaining obstacle for Koizumi is choosing a life partner.
