The name Ken Shimura may not be familiar to many Chinese audiences, but in the Japanese showbiz industry, he is a titan-level figure and a national-level host. Some people say that he created a precedent for Japanese comedy, and the 47 years of funny hosting have made him revered as the "king of comedy" in Japan.
His reality show "Shimura Zoo" scored 9.3 on Douban;
In order to pay tribute to him, "Gintama" created the character of Shimura Shinhachi based on him.
Before his death, Although Shimura ken was nearly old, he was still the most active artist on Japanese television, and he was also a guarantee of ratings, and was known as "one of the most important entertainers in Japan".
Because of its fame, since 1996, there have been rumors of Ken Shimura's death, and this treatment is placed in China, but only actors with full national scores can enjoy it.
However, compared to his career achievements, the most enjoyable thing in Shimura's life was his personal life.
First, an average of 3 years to change 1 girlfriend
In February 2019, Ken Shimura was invited to participate in the famous Japanese talk show "The Best Restaurant in Life", and as a result, the 69-year-old did not shy away from talking about his emotional experience on the show.
In the show, he said: "I have been making girlfriends since I was about 19 and 20 years old, and I have made 16 girlfriends in total, almost 3 years to change 1. ”
If you spit such words out of someone else's mouth, it may not be very credible, but if the protagonist is Ken Shimura, it is a different matter, because even if his sideburns are white, the old man's scandal has never been broken.
In 2012, Ken Shimura and the 34-year-old Japanese actor Yuka spread a scandal, and the two were frequently photographed dating in the same frame;
In 2014, he was exposed to propose to female anchor Ayako Kato on the favorable terms of a dowry of 130 million yuan and a monthly living expenses;
In 2019, at the 69th birthday party of Ken Shimura, Lena and Nana, two members of the famous Japanese girl group MAX, posted a photo of themselves and Ken Shimura, in which Ken Shimura sat between two beautiful women and seemed to enjoy this treatment.
In addition, he and Yoko Ishino have also had a scandal.
However, the most boiling up is the story of him and the 32-year-old actress Asami Hotaru who is younger than himself.
In 2010, Ken Shimura once made a fuss to the media, saying that he might get married in a flash, and the object of marriage was the adult movie actress Asami Hotaru.
For a time, public opinion was in an uproar, because the age gap between the two was 32 years old, not to mention, Shimura Ken was able to accept the occupation of Asami Hotaru, which also shocked many people, and Japanese netizens sent their blessings at that time.
But just when everyone thought that this good thing was approaching, the relationship between the two people ended so innocently.
In fact, looking at Shimura Ken's love history, you will find that it is really difficult to maintain every relationship for more than 3 years.
However, for these past feelings, Shimura Ken said that he treated every relationship seriously, and even met with the woman's parents with the premise of marriage.
So why did all the feelings end up aborted?
In "The Best Restaurant in Life", Ken Shimura gave a jaw-dropping answer - "I also wanted to have my own children, but I never got my wish, without children, there is no value in my existence." ”
In this regard, many netizens speculated that the reason why Shimura Ken always refused to marry the woman was because these women failed to give birth to a man and a half woman.
Although this kind of thinking sounds absurd, even in China, there are such people, after all, people will think about the continuation of incense after a certain age, so they do have a certain degree of credibility.
Of course, there are also netizens who are not accustomed to this kind of behavior, and scold Shimura Ken on the Internet, calling him a scumbag without compromise, and even more cruel poisonous words.
Second, just don't be right, let the wrong partner get out of the entertainment circle
Although Shimura's love life has been criticized, he is indeed commendable in other respects.
In 2001, Tashiro Masa, who had co-hosted "Shimura's Big Laugh" with Ken Shimura, was arrested for spying on his colleagues taking baths and possessing doping.
After the news broke, Ken Shimura, a long-term partner of Tamyo Masa, relentlessly accused him: "This person has done the worst thing, and he should get out of the show business circle." ”
Shimura Ken's practice of not being afraid of offending former colleagues was appreciated by many netizens at the time, who praised him for his artistic virtue and also played an exemplary role in the entertainment industry.
However, whether it is a well-known status, a reprehensible emotional history, or a praise-like rebuke of former colleagues, these stories will gradually be forgotten by the world with the death of Ken Shimura.
It is not easy for the entertainment industry to give birth to a "king", in any case, the departure of Ken Shimura is really regrettable, and fans can only remember this artist through his living works.
At the same time, Pigo also reminded everyone that in special periods, we must pay attention to protecting ourselves.
