 Entertainment desk clerk Norifumi Arakida&#8217;s &#8220;irresistible&#8221; stories in the entertainment world.
 Hiroto Kiritani, a former professional Go player, is famous as a master of &#8220;shareholder benefits. His lifestyle was closely followed on &#8220;Monday to Night Fakashi&#8221; (Nippon Television), hosted by Matsuko Deluxe and Shingo Murakami of &#8220;Kanjani Eight&#8221; fame, and he has become a popular figure.

 In the program, Ms. Kiritani, who is said to have assets of 400 million yen in stocks and other assets, was talked about as &#8220;kawaii&#8221; (cute) as she rode her bicycle east and west in order to use up her shareholder benefits.
 She has become an indispensable part of the show, not only for her life with the benefits, but also for riding a thrilling machine and planning her marriage,&#8221; said a reporter for a women&#8217;s magazine.
 (Women&#8217;s magazine reporter) We saw Ms. Kiritani at a hotel in Tokyo on December 10.
 The location was the Asakusa View Hotel in Tokyo. It was an Enka singer Kaoru Yamaguchi&#8217;s &#8220;30th anniversary dinner show.

 Ms. Kiritani was singing a duet song with Ms. Yamaguchi, &#8220;Katsushika Hosoda Kanran Ondo&#8221; together on stage. Ms. Kiritani, who is popular on TV, was asked by many people to take commemorative photos, and she was very polite about it.
 However, many people must have been surprised by his &#8220;transformation. He had a mustache and a wild appearance.
 We decided to interview Mr. Kiritani directly,
 I started growing my mustache in mid-October. I didn&#8217;t think my beard would grow that long since my head is like this, but surprisingly, it has been growing for a long time.
 I will be appearing in the upcoming &#8216;Night Owl&#8217; with this beard, so please look forward to it.&#8221;
 Mr. Kiritani has become as wild as Hollywood star Nicolas Cage. He may gain more female fans again. &#8230;&#8230;
