Eyewitness! Harikomi24 (Daikanyama 18:10)
“I was so shocked by Shimura’s death that I was in bed for three months.
Kato Cha, 78, talked about the late Ken Shimura, 70, on “Tetsuko’s Room” (TV Asahi) broadcast in July. His wife of 45 years, Ayana Kato (33), a TV personality, supported him when he was depressed.
A few days after this broadcast, Kato was seen in Daikanyama (Shibuya Ward). This is the gym that he and his wife go to together. She was dressed in a black cap and jersey, and was accompanied by a macho man who looked like a trainer.
Escorted by the macho man, Kato-chan slowly walked to the pick-up truck. KATO-chan is taking good care of her health. I hope she lives as long as her late ally.
