Yoooi Nakagawa, a 164cm tall basketball player who is a candidate for the next breakout role, is freshly dressed as a police chief for a day.
I’m relieved it’s all over.
A woman dressed as a police officer appeared on stage, showing white teeth but looking quite nervous.
On February 21, she was appointed police chief of the Tamagawa Police Station of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department for a day during the “Shoplifting and Traffic Safety Campaign” held at Futakotamagawa Station (Setagaya Ward, Tokyo) on the Tokyu Denentoshi Line. Nakagawa, appearing in his uniform, showed a bewildered look on his face at the large number of people who gathered for the event, and even stretched not only his back but also his fingertips.
Speaking of Nakagawa, she appeared in the Softbank commercial “The Goal is Above Me” that aired from last December. The 164-centimeter-tall Nakagawa, dressed in a basketball uniform, shot free throws in the commercial, which began with the line, “I wonder how many shots I’ve made so far.
Nakagawa was born in Toyokawa City, Aichi Prefecture. He is an active high school student and is enrolled as a special basketball student.’ In 1924, he was scouted by his current agency in Tokyo on a school trip and made his acting debut in this commercial. In an interview with “Sports Hochi” (March 4, 2011), he reported that he moved his base of living to Tokyo in January of this year. I went to Shibuya (for the first time), but my eyes were tired,” she commented primly.
The event was held on the concourse of the station, and Nakagawa began by saying, “I will not shoplift! I won’t let you do it! I won’t let them get away with it! I won’t miss it! The audience cheered and applauded his fresh and direct attitude. Afterwards, the campaign flyers were distributed along with the local traffic youth group. After the event, he told reporters,
I was very nervous, but I am relieved that the event ended without incident. I am glad that I was able to convey the message that shoplifting is not something to be taken lightly.
I’m glad I was able to convey the message that shoplifting is not something to be taken lightly,” Nakagawa said. Asked about his future plans, Nakagawa said, “I will soon be able to announce my drama debut.” He will appear in the drama “Professional Insurance Investigator Ren Amane” (Fuji TV) starring Hiroshi Tamaki (46), which is currently airing. Nakagawa is a new actor who is attracting attention as a candidate for the next breakthrough of the next generation, so what kind of performance will he give us? We have high expectations for him.
