"Speaking of what I have in common with the characters, whether it's good or bad, I think it should be blunt, just don't care much about small things." Other than that, he and I are completely different people. Rihe is a person who can be 100% trusted and helped by the other party. I think it's a very happy trait. ”

In this way, he played the husband of Japan's first female prime minister, Rinko Soma, Kei Tanaka (37 years old) in the movie "The Prime Minister's Husband" (released on September 23). Although Rihe is the "old good man" brother of the big chaebol, he is also a cute young man who cannot be hated.

Playing the wife is Miki Nakatani (45 years old), and this time it is also the second cooperation between the two after a long time.

"Because I played a couple with Nakatani this time, I spent a lot of time together, so I saw a lot of naughty and kind sides that I hadn't seen so far, and I felt very happy about it." I also received handwritten letters and canned tuna after the shoot. The canned food is delicious and has a very 'funky' taste (laughs). The handwritten letters are also very beautifully written. ”

As Japan's first "first husband", Hinata was worried about his wife, and at the same time, he supported her with all his strength and tenderness. Some people say that such a japanese harmony is an "ideal husband image", but what would tanaka himself think of as an "ideal husband"?

"Because the ideal type in everyone's mind is different, I think it's good as long as it's what my wife and family like." Although I don't quite know what my 'ideal husband' is, I think that as long as we build a good husband and wife relationship in the process of giving in to each other and relying on each other, it is enough. What I'm more concerned about is whether the two have successfully built a relationship without talking. I think it's important that even if both parties are busy, they need to listen carefully to each other. But I don't know if I can do that (laughs). ”

If you can have such a good husband, women can shine in any field!
