<h3>I don&#8217;t know if he shaved his head or what&#8230;</h3>
<p>Around 2:30 p.m. in late October, we found Tasuku Emoto, 37, walking alone near JR Shinagawa Station.</p>
<p>He was wearing a black artistic T-shirt under a navy blue blouson. He had a shaved head in a unique fashion of beige pants and a green hat. Standing a head taller than the people passing by, at 183 cm tall, he stood out, no matter how much he wanted to stand out.</p>

<p><span class="strongInContent"> Emoto plays the role of Fujiwara no Michinaga in the NHK historical drama &#8220;Hikaru Kimi he&#8221; currently being broadcast. The story depicts the fateful life of the main character, Mahiro (Murasaki Shikibu), played by Yuriko Yoshitaka (36), but the second half of the story is so detailed about his life that it could almost be said that Michinaga is the main character. The filming itself has already been cranked up, but it seems that he shaved his hair in order to play the ordained Michinaga&#8221; (TV magazine writer).</span></p>
<p>On October 27, his younger brother, actor Tokio Emoto (35), updated his Instagram. On October 10, his younger brother, actor Tokio Emoto (35), updated his Instagram with the comment, &#8220;I don&#8217;t know that you shaved your head or anything. The social networking service received a huge response with comments such as &#8220;I didn&#8217;t expect a real shaved head&#8221; and &#8220;There is a halo shining through. Incidentally, this was the anniversary of the death of their mother, Kazue Tsunokae, an actor who passed away in 2006, and he may have come to Tokyo for that reason.</p>

<p>Emoto currently lives with his wife, Sakura Ando (38), and their child in a 40-year-old private house in Kyoto. Emoto, looking relaxed, walked through Shinagawa Station and headed for the Shinkansen ticket gate. On November 1, he appeared live on NHK&#8217;s &#8220;Asa Ichi&#8221; program. Daikichi of &#8220;Hakata Hanamaru/Daikichi&#8221; looked surprised at his shaved head and asked, &#8220;It&#8217;s real, isn&#8217;t it?&#8221; He said, &#8220;It&#8217;s not an apology,&#8221; and mentioned that the filming had been cranked up,</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> I said last year that it was over without incident. I had said last year that I was going to shave my head with my own hair, but I decided to do it with my own hair. &#8230;&#8230;</span></p>
<p>He said, &#8220;I did my own hair (and) I wanted to shave my head with my natural hair. Emoto is known for not cutting any corners and working hard on his roles. His next film is yet to be announced, but we wonder what kind of performance he will give&#8230;</p>
