Shinichi Tsutsumi Cannot Costar With Hiroyuki Sanada Due To His Assistant Spririts

Shinichi Tsutsumi from 'Princess Toyotomi', now in theater, talked about his early years as an actor.

Shinichi Tsutsumi is now one of the biggest actors since 'ALWAYS 3 Chome no Yuhi' (2005) which he received multiple domestic movie awards. He is gaining more and more popularity in 'Yogisha Xno Kenshin', and 'SP' series for his solid acting. His new movie, 'ALWAYS 3 Chome-no Yuhi '64' will be released next year.

On May 31, Ttsutsumi talked about his early years in 'Kayo Surprise' (Nihon TV). It is not so known that he used be an assistant to Hiroyuki Sanada while he was a member of Japan Action Club run by Shinichi Chiba. He carried Sanada's bags and took care of him. He used to buy Sanada's favorite drinks from a vending machine and carry them around in a cooler box in order to hand one whenever Sanada needs it. Despite his effort, Sanada threw fit at him on several occasions.

When MC Wentz Eiji asked him whether he now costars with Snada, Tsutsumi's face went stiff. "There is no way! I cannot act with Sanada!", says Tsutsumi. According to him, he still feels nervous when talking to Sanada and his voice gets strained. He said his assistant spirits just cannot go away when he is with Sanada.

His first moview was 'Inujini Seshimono' in which he played arole of a gang when he was 21 year old. He hardly appeared on the screen and there was only one line for him, but once the movie was aired, his line was cut off. Tsutsumi is now one of the biggest actors in Japan and yet, he had his early days like that.
