Continuing from the last part of the preliminary talks , the actor Atsushi Ito , who plays the leading role, and a dialogue with Professor Takashi Shimada who is the original creator of " Kinnikuman " are revealed a surprising secret story! What?
It is not mentioned in Ito drama, but my encounter with Professor Shimada and Professor Nakai. You two are friends from primary school students, right?
Shimada Yes. When my elementary school was in my fourth year, my partner transferred to my school and I lived in the same housing complex. I have been there for nearly 50 years since then (laugh).
Ito There is such a thing.
Shimada is there (laugh).
Ito, whether you the two of you as such as business partner relationship?
Shimada Almost my close friend relationship (laugh). As long as it was a business partner, it has not continued so far.
What triggered Ito "Kinnikuman"?
Shimada Originally, I drew it and showed it to everyone at school. Nakai, who was a class next to it, also saw it, and he began to draw "Kinnikuman" for a while.
Ito had formed a combination soon after meeting!
Shimada Ah, it is wrong. Aibo handed out "Kinnikuman". I am shocked that I'm plagiarism or not! (Laughs). But it has been my wish that my best friend relationship has continued since I started talking about manga, movies, and wrestling as a trigger.
Ito In a sense, it is a person of fate. It is a strange question, but originally, was there any particular attention to muscle?
Shimada Mukimuki's muscles are visually interesting, are not they? Bodybuilding, there is a part that can be laughed thoughtfully cool. It is compatible with gags. That's Kinnikuman! By the way, Mr Ito is making debut as an actor soon. I, I loved Tibinorida!
Ito , in fact, I have no memory at all (laugh). It was a grandma who made the debut. When I was 3 years old I always liked TV and always watched and when I was asked, "A-chan wants to watch TV," he replied "Yeah!". It is entering the theater company as it is. So, grandma is a person of destiny.
Shimada I wonder if a 3 year old child wants to get TV?
When I tried Itoh , when my 2 year old daughter was watching TV, when I heard "Want to TV out?", I immediately answered "Yeah!" (Laugh).
Shimada I still do not know how difficult it will be on TV. By the way, when you are an actor since I was young, what is the feeling of "work" becoming thinner than the surroundings?
Ito It is amazing. There is no company experience, actors are too common ....
Shimada I also have the feeling that "Manga is an extension of my hobby?" Surely there are times when it is painful to make work, but there is not such a fun thing.
Have you ever thought about becoming an ordinary ITO employee?
There are Shimada . Sometimes I was looking at the recruitment field of the newspaper at the time of the slump (laugh). I think that I can also do it properly in a company unexpectedly, though. However, if you drink with local friends, you will be totally forgotten that "you are absolutely impossible!"
Ito It is totally the same thing (laugh). And, when listening to the story of friends who work in a general company, "Well, these guys are amazing, it is impossible for me." By the way, do you have a slump escape law as a creator?
Shimada It is not to target home run every time. I have time to meet with my buddy and say "This time it's a definite hit aim!" However, from the fans, they say "boiled and put it in!" (Laugh).
It would not be OK if it were to be broke Ito (laugh).
Even Shimada , after the hit, hit home run with a momentum. Now if you are commented by a fan "This week's Yuni, God!", Is not she trying to do it!
Ito I am going to appear in a drama with a theme of juvenile jumping this time, but what does Mr. Shimada think about the jumping skill?
Shimada , when I was in high school, I took the Akatsuka prize at "Kinnikuman", graduated as it was and made a professional debut. In fact, at the time, both of us were finding employment. However, the editor-in-chief of the time went all the way to head down to the employment place, "Please let them be a cartoonist!"
Ito It is an episode that itself can be dramaized.
Shimada I see. However, when I debuted, it was told that "If you do not want a manga artist to take a break, please quit if you do not have a break!", It was tough. But, because there was such an environment, many masterpieces were born. Not only works but also boys jumps including the heat of the producers' hearts.
Ito "Oh my boom! 」Is picking up manga works, but also human drama is fascinating work. Also, there are also gag elements that the original fan can grin.
Shimada friendship, effort, victory is also a special prime ___ ___ 0
Ito Yes! I hope many people enjoy it! !
★ Atsushi Ito ( Ito Atsushi ) was born in 1983, born in Chiba Prefecture. As a child in 1986, he debuted as an actor. In "Masked Norida" of "Tunnels' thanks to you", as a civic lidar, it becomes a popular person in the tea room. After that, the drama "Train Man" who played the leading character raised the unprecedented boom. "Oh my boom! ~ Shonen Jump rescues the Earth ~ 」(TV Tokyo series, every week at midnight 0:12) ~ will serve as the leading role Kobayashi Tsukiyama
Drama "Oh my my jump! "Atsushi Ito starring boiled eggs! Surprised by the story behind the recruitment! What?
- During the play it seems that the story of "Kinnikuman" which is being serialized at weekly pre NEWS also appears ...?
Ito Yes. Shimada, I'm sorry!
Shimada E - - -! What? What are you apologizing for? (Laugh).
Shin Ito played Mr. Shimada in the play, maybe I was rude.
Shimada It is rather an honor to be a famous actor to play myself!
Minoru Ito plays not only Professor Shimada, but also Nakai (Yoshinori) sensei (drawing manager) role.
Shimada Aiba is also! Which was easier to play if I was with my partner?
Mr. Ito Mr. Nakai It is an image that is calm. Meanwhile, Professor Shimada is bright, tension raise. Also in the script, Professor Shimada 's words were "!" Enormous at the end of the word (laugh).
Shimada That's correct! What kind of role did you do to play us?
Ito and we have previously allowed to look the video and photos, was the role making while it as a reference.
Shimada I wonder if there was any video of me.
There was something when it appeared on ITO TV. While referring to the atmosphere, I asked them to select costumes from pictures posted in old juvenile jumps and comics.
Shimada Recent cartoonists do not put out their faces in the media, but our era was "There must also be selling faces for manga artists!" It was quite expose.
Ito What kind of feeling does it appear on the magazine?
Shimada For example, you go to the zoo and face it in front of the lion.
I will not do Shimada entertainer. But my senior teacher Masami Masuda went to Tsukishima to eat Doka with Monjayaki. Even though my seniors are doing it, we can not do it!
Ito was not good at exposing at Ito ?
Originally Shimada I liked to get out, though (laugh). I am glad when I can still call out when traveling by train. I can connect with my fans in this way, I think that "Kinnikuman" "Character super recruitment" also got excited.
Ito In this drama Kinnikuman's "recruitment of superstar" was put in the episode which was born. My superman to do from a fan appears in the work, and a message from the teacher can be gotten. I thought this was really epoch-making.
Rather than recruiting Shimada Giants, I just wanted to interact with fans anyway. There used to be no SNS like in the past, so a lot of fan letters arrived at the editorial department, so I wrote the answers to it all. Nakano (Kazuo), the first editorial superintendent who saw it, said, "Then, there is no time to paint comics," it was "super recruitment".
Ito because it was difficult to invent new superhumans (laugh).
Shimada Although that was my intention, since I began recruiting "superhuman," I became more busy. I worked on manga five days a week and I was selecting the rest for "super recruitment".
It is hard to just select Itoh Giant?
Shimada We received tens of thousands of messages each week, did not it? It takes a tremendous amount of time. Finger grease is sucked up by postcards, it gets badly cracked! Moreover, the postcard has become a box of cardboard and the floor has slipped out (laugh).
It looks like Ito Manga! Even now "recruitment of superhuman" is continued?
Shimada is doing. There are many fans in their 30's and 40's. When I thought "It looks like a super who was painted by a child", [43 years old, company workers] or something (laugh).
Ito fans have a good sense, they always have a feeling of children.
Shimada [Even though it is stressful at work, there are many opinions that you can forget to think about the superhuman]. I feel so, I'm really happy that the fans enjoyed it.
- Does an actor have connection with fans?
In the case of Ito actor, I think that it is almost unless I do a stage or an event. But, how are you evaluated by viewers? ... There was a time when I was curious about it.
Shimada net checked the evaluation?
Ito was there (laugh). But now I'm trying to work on concentrating on "making fun things".
Shimada That way is fun. Nonetheless, I had something with my child "I did not boil down recently!" (Laugh).
Shimada From the passing-through child when she was a slump.
In the sense of evaluating around Ito , in my case I am a student friend. It will be told honestly that "I stopped seeing your new work in one episode!" (Laugh).
Shimada What is it to return to that comment?
Ito "Well, seeing is unlikely to be private freedom", but it returns bullishly, but the inner heart has a very dense concavity (ha ha) (laugh).
