Tokyo 03’s Akihiro Kakuta’s passionate performance as a comedian has him flooded with acting offers!

In mid-September, a domestic luxury car was driving along the main road crossing Shinjuku Ward. Arriving at the parking lot and getting out was Akihiro Kakuta, 47, of the comedy trio Tokyo 03.

“He is said to be one of the best actors to play the role of a pathetic old man. Many producers want to use him because of his excellent acting ability” (drama production staff).

In “Hanzawa Naoki” (TBS) in 2008, Tsunoda gave an excellent performance as a weak-minded bank clerk who is tamed and killed. In April of this year, he played the role of the ex-husband of Takako Matsu (44) in “Ozuida to wako to sannin no ex-husband” (Fuji TV), which further enhanced his reputation as a by-player. His personal life, on the other hand, is extremely low-key. However, he says that this is the starting point of his career as an actor.

He says, “In my private life, I am serious and negative. When I watch him act in dramas, my friends often talk about how he’s just like that (laughs).

The back of Tsunoda’s face as he disappeared into the shopping arcade was the same as the melancholy face he showed in the drama.
