Actor Yu Shirota (38) will appear as a guest on TV Asahi’s “Tetsuko’s Room” (Monday-Friday 1:00 p.m.), which will be broadcast on the 24th. He talked about his siblings.

Shirota, whose father is Japanese and mother is Spanish, got her big break with the hit drama “ROOKIES.” He also became popular in musicals such as “Elisabeth” and “Phantom.”

When host Tetsuko Kuroyanagi introduced the show, “Mr. Shirota has five siblings,” Shirota clarified, “That’s right,” and also showed a group shot of his two older brothers, older sister, and younger sister. When Kuroyanagi continued, “My eldest brother’s wife is (composer) Joe Hisaishi’s daughter,” Shirota replied, “That’s right,” and also talked about the older brother’s children, “the video.” I feel soothed when I look at the photos,” she said, confessing that she is addicted to it.

Kuroyanagi revealed, “My Spanish mother was married three times and divorced three times.That’s why I have a lot of siblings with different fathers, but they’re all close.” Shirota replied, “There are five of us, and I’m married to my first wife.” “So, we have an older brother and older sister, Dai and Maria. My older brother, Jun, and I were born from my second marriage. My younger sister, Lina, was born from my third marriage, so we all have different last names.” .

“People think we have a rather complicated family environment, but all five of us really get along very well.We use group LINE almost every day, and we communicate all the time there.” I narrowed my eyes.

The group LINE said, “I named the group by taking the initials of everyone, Niwa, Shirota, and Yoshimura, but I added them all up and took Niwa’s ‘ni’, Shirota’s ‘shi’, and Yoshimura’s ‘mura’. So, we created a LINE group called Nishimura in katakana, and we sent videos to each other every day.” When a video of her niece and nephew was sent to her, she said happily, “Everyone reacted, saying, “It’s cute.”
