Tsurutaro Kataoka, a ″genius″ speaks, “I want to die a ″lifelong active worker″ while doing yoga and painting.
Tsurutaro Kataoka has been performing for 50 years and will soon reach his 70th birthday. Why does he continue to go to bed at 5 p.m. and get up at 11 p.m.?
His body, stripped down to the bare minimum. His eyes are sharp as he gazes into the camera. He looks like a hermit, but once he opens his mouth, he is a light-hearted talker with a wide variety of expressions.
Tsurutaro Kataoka (69), who celebrated his 50th anniversary in show business last year, has become known as a “good-looking old man” because of the fashion on his social networking sites, which shows a combination of youthfulness and sophistication that one would not expect from a man approaching his 70th birthday.
I have been coordinating my own clothes for work without a stylist for about 10 years now, and I enjoy going to vintage clothing stores and trying on different outfits,” he said.
Tsurutaro started his career in the entertainment industry half a century ago as a comedian. His breakthrough came in 1981 with the broadcast of “Ore-tachi Hyokinzoku” (Fuji Television Network), a show that was popular at the time. This program was aired in conjunction with the variety show “8 O’clock, All Together” (TBS), which featured the then popular “The Drifters! All Together” (TBS), a variety program featuring the then-popular “The Drifters.
Hyokinzoku” was originally scheduled to run for three months (……), or just one season. It would have been boring to do the same thing as “All the Members,” so we decided to do the exact opposite. If that was a live broadcast aimed at a child audience, this was a recording aimed at adults. If their strength is teamwork, ours is a combination of individual strengths. That’s how a pin-up comedian like me was able to get in.
