Hayato Ichihara’s Bulging Muscles Cause T-Shirt Sleeves to Ride Up His Physique at Haneda Airport

In the early night of early June, a muscular man appeared in the arrival lobby of Haneda Airport. It was actor Hayato Ichihara (37).

Ichihara is currently starring in the movie “School Meals Time Graduation” which is now showing. Today, he was returning from a stage greeting in Tottori.

“‘School Meals Time Graduation’ is a drama that aired on TV Kanagawa and other channels in 2019. Set in a middle school in the 1980s, Hayato Ichihara plays the role of a stern teacher, Amarida Yukio, who is a staunch advocate of absolute school lunch. The drama has become a series, with Season 3 currently airing, and the movie serves as the conclusion of Season 3,” said a movie magazine reporter.

Ichihara made his film debut in 2001 with Shunji Iwai’s “All About Lily Chou-Chou” and solidified his popularity with the 2004 drama “WATER BOYS 2” (Fuji TV) and the 2008 drama “ROOKIES” (TBS). In addition to his distinguished facial features, his well-toned physique constantly attracts attention.

Walking through the airport, Ichihara’s thick upper arms and broad chest are reminiscent of an athlete. Wearing only a white T-shirt, the sleeves appear to be riding up due to the size of his upper arms. His sunglasses and overall style are reminiscent of Hitoshi Matsumoto, who is known as the most muscular in the entertainment industry, but Ichihara’s presence might surpass Matsumoto’s.

“He has a very serious personality and has now established a solid image as the passionate man of the entertainment industry. It is said that he diligently trained throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, and currently, he also serves as the brand ambassador for the commercial fitness machine manufacturer ‘Ecoleco Fitness,'” said a TV magazine writer.

On June 27, he appeared at the completion preview screening of the drama series “WOWOW×TV Tokyo Joint Production Drama Double Cheat: Fake Police Officer Season 2” (starting distribution on June 29), in which he co-stars with Osamu Mukai (42). Regarding his role as the mysterious con artist Tago Yuto, he became so deeply immersed in the character that he said,

“I felt like my smile became strained and my voice wouldn’t come out even in my private life.”

Ichihara, who throws himself wholeheartedly into both physical preparation and character development, delivers a powerful performance that is not to be missed.
