Simultaneous selection of “Aeen” Ken Shimura Honorary Citizen 13:49, June 25, Higashimurayama, Tokyo

The city of Higashimurayama, the birthplace of comedian Ken Shimura, who died in March of this year due to pneumonia due to the new coronavirus, honored him on 25th and selected him as an honorary citizen.

On the 25th, at the Higashimurayama City Assembly, while Mr. Shimura's two older brothers were also listening, a bill was selected to select Mr. Shimura as an honorary citizen, and it was unanimously agreed.

At a commendation ceremony held at the parliament, Mr. Tomoyuki Shimura was presented with a certificate, and he said, "I'm honored to be an honorary citizen, and I feel honored with him."

Mr. Tomoyuki called the mayor and members of the Diet to conclude the ceremony by bringing together Shimura-san's prominent gag, "Ain," at the parliament.

My brother, Tomoyuki, "Is it okay to sleep in Higashimurayama forever?"

Mr. Shimura once refused to be asked to become an honorary citizen of Higashimurayama City, but Mr. Tomoyuki said at the interview after the award ceremony, "My brother lived in Mitaka City, but in Higashimurayama. Since I entered a certain grave and slept in Higashimurayama forever, I decided that it would be okay to receive an honorary citizen. I think he was a shy person, but I'm happy, I think. I was talking.
