<h3> Hide and Seek with Miho <br>
Dump Matsumoto (professional wrestler)</h3>
<p> I first met Miho when she was 15 years old. We co-starred in the drama &#8220;Every time I see you&#8221; (TBS), in which she made her debut as an actress.</p>
<p> When I went to the scene of the drama, Miho cheerfully greeted <span class="strongInContent">me with a &#8220;Good morning!</span> I had a game that day.</p>
<p> I had a game that day, and the drama was shot early in the morning, so I was trying to get some sleep during the break, when Miho came into my dressing room and <span class="strongInContent">said, &#8220;Dump-chan, let&#8217;s play hide-and-seek!</span> she said at &#8230;&#8230;.</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p> We ended up playing hide-and-seek together (laughs). She blindfolded me from behind and said, &#8221; <span class="strongInContent">Who&#8217;s that?&#8221;</span> I replied, <span class="strongInContent">&#8220;It&#8217;s Miho-chan, isn&#8217;t it?</span> It was like playing with my younger sister.</p>
<p> I think Miho has a strong impression of being mature and sexy, but at the time she was an energetic, bright, and lively girl.</p>
<p> I asked <span class="strongInContent">her, &#8220;Aren&#8217;t you afraid of the League of Extreme Evil?&#8221;</span> She replied, <span class="strongInContent">&#8220;I&#8217;m not afraid!</span> I thought she was really honest, funny, and cute <span class="strongInContent">.</span></p>
<p> It was decades ago, but I remember those memories of Miho as if it were only yesterday. I want her to come back. After Miho passed away, I looked back at the old photos and saw her looking at the dump with a very kind face. I couldn&#8217;t help but feel nostalgic.</p>
<p> I pray from the bottom of my heart for her soul. Let&#8217;s play hide-and-seek together again sometime.</p>
