The last time I saw him in Ginza was around December last year.

TV personality Mino Monta, who gained popularity as a TV program host, passed away in the early morning of March 1. He was 80 years old.

On the night of January 16, he reportedly choked on a piece of meat while eating at a high-end yakiniku restaurant and was rushed to the emergency room. At the time, he was thought to be in stable condition. ……

He has appeared on a number of TV programs, including “Omoikkiri TV” (Nippon Television Network Corporation) and “Mino Monta no Asa Zuba! (TBS) and other information programs. (TBS). He also left his mark on television history with his unique “pa” in “Quiz Millionaire” and his exquisite narration in “Professional Baseball’s Unusual Plays” (both on Fuji Television).

In 2006, he was recognized by Guinness World Records as the host who appears in the most live programs in one week. Despite his busy schedule, Mino never missed his “Ginza commute.

Mino-san and Ginza were inseparable. Almost every day, even when he was busy, he would take a luxury car with a chauffeur to Namiki-dori, visit two or three shops, and go home. Even after Corona, he was a loyal person who would show up at his old favorite restaurant once every three or four months or so. The last time I saw him in Ginza was around December of last year. ……” (a person related to a club in Ginza)

After the death of his longtime wife Yasuko in 2012, in 2008 he was found to be in a relationship with Koko, a Ginza hostess 40 years younger than him, who was said to be his “last lover.

I would like to support her in her life.”

The two met around 2012. Mino-san fell in love with Koko-san at first sight at a club in Ginza, which she frequented. After their relationship, Koko quit her job as a hostess and began a life of taking care of Mino. She suffered from Parkinson’s disease and had diabetes, so there is no doubt that her existence as a qualified caregiver was a great support for Mino.

In 2017, Mino gave Koko a 150 million yen luxury condominium as a gift out of gratitude to her.

In 2017, in response to an interview with this magazine about their relationship, he denied remarriage, saying, “We are too far apart in age.

He denied that he would remarry, but said,

I’ll be 80 in three years. I hope to have a good relationship with her. I want to support her life.

I want to support her in her life. Then he showed her a two-shot taken by the magazine,

I said, “Oh, this is a nice picture. Give me this one.

Mino smiled mischievously. Whether in the TV world or in Ginza, the “emperor” was a chic and manly gentleman who was loved by all. ……
