Anecdotes without citations

  • Apparently the setting for his Mebius character Sakomizu was that he liked horse racing, and would have a red pencil sticking out from behind his ear. Since this didn't seem suitable for kids, it was changed so that he liked coffee, and would have coffee beans on reserve.
  • He starred in a lot of period dramas, so he's well-versed in etiquette. So when Mebius' Igarashin Shunji didn't know that you're not supposed to step on the tatami's edge, he was given a scolding.
