On December 16th, Someya Shota, who played the Kukai monk in "The Legend of the Demon Cat", announced on his official website that his wife Kikuchi Rinko had a second baby.
"This time I would like to report the news that our couple is pregnant with a second child. Now it has entered a stable period, and both mother and child are healthy. The addition of new family members has made me stronger, and I will improve day by day. I hope that in the future, we can also guard us with unchangeable tenderness. ”
As soon as this news came out, it quickly appeared on the hot search, and as a result, in addition to a small number of people expressing their blessings, most netizens were full of question marks - what? They are husband and wife?!
In fact, the 11-year-old royal sister x little wolf dog combination was married as early as 2015. At that time, many people were not optimistic, especially Kikuchi Rinzi, who was often complained that old cows ate tender grass.
In the face of doubts, Someya was too blunt: "I don't care about the age difference, for me, the first thing I feel is Kikuchi's charm as a woman." ”
However, Kikuchi does not care about these external voices, as long as you know a little about her, you will know that she is really a super cool woman.
Rinko Kikuchi was born in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan in 1981. Because she was a girl, her parents gave her a gentle name, Yuriko Kikuchi.
However, she was very different from other little girls since she was a child, not very spoiled, very assertive, full of little adult style.
At the age of eighteen, Yuriko Kikuchi debuted as a model. Super expressiveness, so that she immediately became a new star in the modeling circle.
During her time as a model, Yuriko Kikuchi also appeared in many TV series, although they were all second-line characters, but they also brushed up on the sense of existence.
Slowly, Yuriko Kikuchi discovered that before modeling and acting, it was obvious that the latter had made her more interested, so she decided to transform into an actress.
For her decision, people around her are not very supportive, you have not learned the relevant professional knowledge, the experience is not very rich, who knows what will become after the change of career.
The agent was even more strongly opposed, saying that she was obviously a natural model, and it was simply self-deprecating to change careers so willfully.
Not only that, but he also threatened to fire her immediately if he had any more thoughts.

But Yuriko Kikuchi does not think so, although she has a talent for modeling, but who can be sure that she does not have the talent to be an actress?
So she faced the incomprehensible eyes of the people around her, directly fired her agent, and announced that she had officially entered the film and television circle.
Later, he changed his name from Kikuchi Yuriko to Kikuchi Rinko, which is more in line with his temperament.
However being an actor is where it is so easy.
In the first few years, she basically had no splash except for playing soy sauce in some film and television works.
Even so, she still plays each role carefully and uses the experience gained from it to put it in the next performance.
Kung Fu pays off. In 2007, the opportunity finally came, and Rinko Kikuchi starred in "Babel Tower" directed by Alessandro, co-starring Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett.
People say she's got lucky, but only she knows how hard the character is.
At the first audition, the director didn't feel she was a good fit for the role.
Although her acting skills are great, because the protagonist is a deaf girl, the director still hopes to find a real deaf actor.
After being rejected, Kikuchi did not give up, and she flew to continue auditions from Paris to Los Angeles, from New York to Marrakech.
During this period, in order to better fit the character of the deaf and mute, she has been working hard to learn sign language, and finally passed the exam to get a sign language teacher's license.
With such momentum, Kikuchi finally won the role.
She did not live up to everyone's expectations, and played the deaf-mute girl who was full of pain after the suicide of her mother and could only rely on sex to vent.
As a newcomer actor, he even challenged himself to appear in full nude.
That same year, she received an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress, taking a big step toward the Hollywood that everyone dreams of.
However, Kikuchi, who was first emerging in the international arena, was scolded in his own country.
Because of her out-of-the-box nude scenes in the play, conservative Japanese people feel very ashamed, thinking that she is a dangerous person who will stop at nothing to become famous.
Regarding this negative evaluation, Kikuchi responded generously: "I like naked bodies. It was beautiful. I believe that the more we cover ourselves, the more we lose our essence. ”
Look, in Japan, which is full of sweet girls, it is really not easy to produce such a "dangerous" woman.
With this unique temperament, Kikuchi's path as an actor is getting smoother and smoother.
In 2011, she starred in Norwegian Forest, an adaptation of Haruki Murakami's novel of the same name, as the heroine Midoriko.
In 2013, she starred as the heroine of "Pacific Rim", which further established her popularity in Hollywood.
Because the actors often had to wear heavy suits during filming, Kikuchi began to prepare months in advance, fitness, controlling diet, going for a run on the beach.... Let director del Toro affirm her dedication.
In the same year, she partnered keanu Reeves and performed "47 Ronin" together.
As Hollywood's favorite oriental face, Kikuchi also shines in the fashion circle.
Because of her model background, she has her own unique sense of smell for fashion, which makes countless photographers crazy.
Even Chanel's Lafayette said, "Kikuchi's eyes are very powerful, she looks like a child, with a taste of Japanese manga, sometimes she looks at me with innocent and childish eyes, and in a flash she becomes a woman with a mysterious and unpredictable atmosphere." ”
She is like a mysterious cat, but she does not hesitate to show her beauty.
With a cold and moving temperament, a tough and gentle personality, Kikuchi is a wonderful contradiction.
However, it is precisely because of this contrast that she is particularly attractive.
As she said, what does it mean to be bored with life? I don't want to die.
