The movie &#8220;Familia,&#8221; which is currently in theaters, has been attracting attention for its depiction of family from a unique perspective.
 Ryo Yoshizawa, who became the first Heisei-born actor to star in a historical drama series with his role in &#8220;Seiten wo Suke&#8221; (NHK) the year before last, is now aiming for another big breakthrough with his collaboration with Koji Yakusho, one of Japan&#8217;s most famous actors.

 The film centers on a father, Seiji (Yakusho), a potter living in a mountain village, his son Manabu (Yoshizawa), a trading company employee working overseas, and Marcos, a young Brazilian living in Japan who lives in an apartment complex in a neighboring town. The film is an original work that depicts three young Brazilians living in Japan, Gaku (Yoshizawa) and Marcos, who live in an apartment complex in the next town.
 Yoshizawa, who attended the completion screening of the film, said that it had been his dream to work with Yakusho, and added, &#8220;I learned a lot. I learned a lot from him. The way he plays the role, the way he is present in the scene. The persuasive power of the actor&#8217;s everyday life was incredible.
 In 2006, Yoshizawa was ranked No. 1 in the &#8220;ViVi&#8221; women&#8217;s fashion magazine&#8217;s &#8220;National Treasure&#8221; ranking of the best looking men, and was inducted into the Hall of Fame following Masaki Suda and Kento Yamazaki. He starred in &#8220;Mamalade Boy,&#8221; a movie based on a girls&#8217; manga, and &#8220;Ano Ko no, Toriko. The following year, he starred in the morning drama &#8220;Natsuzumi&#8221;.
 The following year, he played the role of Tenyo, the childhood friend of the heroine Natsu (Suzu Hirose), in the morning drama &#8220;Natsuzora,&#8221; and became a national favorite.
 Yoshizawa, however, is not just a sparklingly handsome actor. His acting ability has long been highly acclaimed.

 Fumi Nikaido, who co-starred with Yoshizawa in the movie &#8220;The Wolf Girl and the Black Prince&#8221; (&#8217;16), highly praised Yoshizawa&#8217;s talent, saying, &#8220;There are geniuses,&#8221; and &#8220;I am glad he is not a girl. They then co-starred again in the film &#8220;River&#8217;s Edge&#8221; (2006), for which Yoshizawa won the Japan Academy Award for Best New Actor.
 He also won the Japan Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role in the epic &#8220;Kingdom. Fumi Nikaido&#8217;s ability to recognize Yoshizawa&#8217;s talent at an early stage is also a great feat.
 However, having played the leading role in a major drama so quickly, some were concerned that Yoshizawa might be suffering from &#8220;burnout syndrome.
 Yoshizawa chose Fuji Television&#8217;s signature &#8220;Geki 9&#8221; drama series for his comeback. In &#8220;PICU: Pediatric Intensive Care Unit,&#8221; which premiered last October, Yoshizawa plays the role of Takeshiro Shikoda, a pediatrician in Hokkaido, where it is extremely difficult to operate a large-scale PICU.
 In this drama, Shinobu Otake gives an impassioned performance as Minami, a mother who lost her husband at a young age and raised Takeshiro single-handedly while working as a bus guide. The scenes at the dining table, where the actors engage in fast-paced conversation over Takeshiro&#8217;s cooking, always attracted a large number of viewers.
 However, Minami was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. The nearly 10-minute uncensored scene in which the two actors tell the story of their late father, who was diagnosed with cancer at a young age and died as a result of the pain caused by anti-cancer drug treatment, was a highlight of the episode and a divine episode in which their excellent performances shone through.
 The day after episode 9 (the divine episode) aired, Otake updated her Instagram. The day after the episode aired, Ohtake updated his Instagram page.
 I was so happy to be your mother.
 When you supported my weakened body, your hands were not too strong, not too weak, but really full of tenderness, and I could naturally surrender to them. I will never forget that warmth. Please continue to be a kind and strong man.
 He sent a heartwarming message, &#8220;Please continue to be a kind and strong man.
 Yoshizawa, who borrowed from Shinobu Otake in &#8220;Tsuki 9,&#8221; starred in &#8220;Black Night Parade,&#8221; a movie directed by Yuichi Fukuda, a comedy genius with whom he worked on the film &#8220;Gintama&#8221; (2005), on December 23, 2010. After playing a role that was a bit of a shake-up, this year he finally saw the light of day in the movie &#8220;Familia,&#8221; which had been suspended due to the COVID-19 crisis.
 Yoshizawa confesses that he was so busy filming a TV drama that he was unable to practice turning the potter&#8217;s wheel as much as he would have liked, but Mr. Yakusho highly praises him, saying, &#8220;He is more talented than I am. Toward the end of the film. In the climactic scene where he confronts Kaito Enomoto (MIYAVI), the head of the half-breed gang, he risks his life against the blade to save the Marcoses, who resemble his own youth, and his feelings for his late son, whom he could do nothing about. The smile on Seiji&#8217;s face gives me goosebumps. I am sure it must have touched Yoshizawa&#8217;s heart as well.
 Ryo Yoshizawa is a great actor who has cut his teeth with such well-known actors as Shinobu Otake and Koji Yakusho. His spirit as an actor is evident, as he inspires himself by saying, &#8220;Taiga dramas are just a passing phase. Who will he cut with next? We can hardly wait to see his next work.

 He is involved in program production in a wide range of genres including variety, news, and sports programs. He has also planned and published many books on female TV announcers, idols, and the TV industry. While working on documentary programs, he became interested in history and recently published "Ieyasu was dead in Sekigahara" (Takeshobo Shinsho). She is also publishing the e-book series "Ibun Chakurezuregusa.
