I&#8217;m going to make my debut in the entertainment industry in &#8220;Poka Poka,&#8221; which will air tomorrow. My mother already knows, but I haven&#8217;t been able to tell my father, so this will be the biggest surprise of my life.&#8221;

 Rei Shirakawa, 20, looked a little nervous as she spoke at a photo session held on January 8 at the Meiji Kinenkan in Akasaka, Tokyo, to mark her debut in the entertainment industry and to show off her new adult uniform. There are many newcomers who make their debut in the entertainment industry every year, but there is a reason why she has attracted so much attention.
 She is the second daughter of former Takanohana no Oyakata and former Fuji Television announcer Keiko Kono.

 Shirakawa has a diverse background, with 10 years of ballet experience and two years studying abroad in England&#8230;. It seems that she will basically focus on her activities as an actress.
 I have a great admiration for Hollywood actress Julia Roberts, and I want to be like her, an actress whose beauty is tempered by her strength as a woman. Someday, I would like to play a powerful woman in a human drama or love romance movie or drama.
 She expressed her enthusiasm. It seems certain that she will make her presence felt in the entertainment industry. The child of former Takanohana Oyakata and Keiko Kono is Yuichi Hanada, a TV personality and shoemaker. Is there a reason why, unlike his brother, he does not use the &#8220;Hanada surname&#8221; &#8230;&#8230;?
 Shirakawa said this about it.
 When you make your debut under your real name, people inevitably associate your name with your parents. I want to try my hand in the entertainment industry on my own, so I chose the name Rei Shirakawa, which means &#8220;light (Ray) points to a white river.&#8221;

 Shirakawa&#8217;s mother seems very happy about her debut in the entertainment industry.
 She said her mother encouraged her to &#8220;smile and do your best.

 The family is very close, but unfortunately, she has not been able to see her father, and has not been able to tell him directly about her debut. In &#8220;Poka Poka,&#8221; Shirakawa commented that he &#8220;doesn&#8217;t perform with his family,&#8221; but maybe one day he will perform with his father. &#8230;&#8230;?
