Nakamura Shikan, who is reported to have multiple affairs… “Past accident history” that a person involved in a pear orchard fears “speeding is more dangerous than adultery”.

Kabuki actor Nakamura Shikan VIII (58) was reported to have had an affair for the fourth time.
According to the “Shukan Post” (April 12-19, ’24 issue), in early March, he put his adulterous partner in the passenger seat of the car he was driving and headed to an apartment in Atami that the woman rented. This is the fourth time in two years that Shiba Wan has been reported to be having an affair.
The first affair was in 2004, right before the “Nakamura Shikan Succession Reveal. The second was in January 2009. She was a fan of his. At the end of the same year, it was reported that he had an affair with a woman in her 40s in the apparel industry, and it seems that it was this woman again. In the spring of 2010, Shikan began living separately from his wife Hiroko Mita, 58, at a separate house in Tokyo. He may continue to give priority to his life with this woman.
Mita, who has supported Shiba Wan for many years as the wife of Nashien, has so far tacitly approved of her husband’s infidelity, almost as if she were half admitting it. In the case of the latest affair, Mita told the magazine, “I am not a fan of the Narikomaya affair,
I have married into Narikomaya, and as a wife and mother of three sons, I intend to continue to support the family kabuki business to the best of my ability. I would appreciate your understanding.
I hope you will understand. The people involved in the Pearson’s garden have not seen it as a problem, saying, “As long as his wife allows it, ……”. Some of them also sent messages to ……, such as this one.
Some people have said, “Well, this is the fourth time, isn’t he just trying to create a controversy?” Some people are even sarcastic. Some people are cynical, saying, “Well, it’s the fourth time, so isn’t he just making a big deal out of it? This time, too, he will be performing with his sons Nakamura Hashinosuke (28) and Nakamura Utanosuke (22) in “April Grand Kabuki,” which opened at the Kabuki-za in April. The fact that this is just before the show will no doubt increase the number of visitors.
Kabuki fans will be more inclined to see Mr. Shiba Wan if the topic is something like this, saying, “Compared to Ichikawa Chuguruma (58) and Ichikawa Ennosuke (48), this is not so bad at all. Mr. Shikan himself is not resting on his laurels of popularity, but even though he says with his mouth, ‘I will reflect on my actions,’ I don’t think he cares at all,” said another person involved with the narien (pear orchard).
(Another person involved in the pears garden). However, even the normally nonchalant people involved in the pears garden were unable to tolerate the incident. One such incident was a speeding violation by Shikan when he was on his way to Atami with a woman. According to the article, the car he was driving was stopped by the police on a two-lane road with an 80-km speed limit. The speed was nearly 120 km/h, according to the article.
