 Actor Kamio Fūju (24) is at a major crossroads.
 Since making his drama debut in 2015, Kamio has been called a &#8220;national treasure-class handsome man&#8221; and has made great strides in a variety of fields, including drama, film, and stage. However, since his appearance on the stage of &#8220;Gekidan Shinkansen&#8221; last December, he has been forced to drop or cancel his work one after another, causing quite a stir.

 On February 5, an award ceremony was held for the &#8220;Yokohama Film Festival,&#8221; and &#8220;Love is Light&#8221; was selected as this year&#8217;s first prize winner. Mr. Kamio received the Best Newcomer Award. However, he did not show up for the award ceremony, and the award was presented in his absence. This is highly unusual. There are rumors in some quarters that he is in poor health due to his overcrowded schedule. Last year, Mr. Kamio appeared in more than 10 movies and dramas, including the Sunday theater &#8220;Old Rookie&#8221; (TBS). In parallel with this, he was also engaged in a long stage production that lasted about three months. He was in a state where he could have fallen ill at any time.
 At the end of January, Kamio appeared on his manager&#8217;s Instagram page and appeared to be in good health. The January 26 issue of &#8220;Shukan Bunshun&#8221; reported on the issue of the split in his office. The January 26 issue of &#8220;Shukan Bunshun&#8221; reported on the split in her agency, saying that in addition to her physical condition, family turmoil at the agency was also hindering her return to work.
 The representative director of his office, Mr. T., is a yaritori who originally belonged to a major entertainment agency; he assumed his current position after the death of the previous president in 2018. However, Mr. T and the firm were never on good terms, and his independence was frequently discussed. I think that the internal disputes within the office have affected Mr. Kamio&#8217;s work as well,&#8221; said a source in the entertainment industry.

Alice in the Land of the Rising Sun 2&#8243; (Netflix), which began distribution at the end of last year, has been a huge hit, ranking in the top 10 in 90 countries around the world.</figcaption></figure>
 One of the reasons behind Mr. T&#8217;s strong stance is said to be the presence of a major talent who left Johnny&#8217;s two and a half years ago.
 Mr. T is also involved in the management of Mr. Yamashita (Tomohisa, 37) because of his previous job. Mr. Yamashita has ostensibly established a private agency, but it is said that Mr. T is the one who is acting as a bridge for media appearances behind the scenes. Mr. Yamashita ostensibly has established a private firm. In fact, Mr. T was said to have exerted a great deal of influence on the much-talked-about drama &#8220;Honest Real Estate,&#8221; in which Mr. Yamashita played the lead role for the first time on NHK last year. Mr. T&#8217;s desire to compete on his own strength must have grown stronger, as he is trusted by big names. If he were to become independent, Mr. Kamio, with his combination of popularity and ability, would want to pull him out at all costs. This may be the reason for the delay in his return.
 When will Kamio&#8217;s full-fledged return really be? We can only hope that his &#8220;national treasure smile&#8221; will return as soon as possible. &#8230;&#8230;
