Watanabe's life as an actor who continued to fight illness

Tetsuya Watari, who died on the 10th of this month, has been active as a frontline actor since he was in his thirties while fighting illness.

Watanabe, who starred in the big drama "Katsu Kaishu" in 1974, dropped out due to a sudden illness and later revealed that he was diagnosed with collagen disease.

Also, in 1991, when he announced that he had rectal cancer, had surgery to cut out the rectum, and had a colostomy attached, he was encouraged by the patient and his family to continue acting. It was one after another.

Furthermore, in 2015, he underwent surgery for acute myocardial infarction, and after that he suffered from emphysema, etc., and was working as a CM while continuing treatment and rehabilitation.

Mr. Watanabe, who continued to be an actor while fighting against illness, was encouraging many patients, such as visiting children who were fighting cancer.

Fans and condolences who hand their hands toward home arrive one after another

On the 15th, one day after Tetsuya Watari was told that he died, Wataru-san's home in Ota-ku, Tokyo was visited by a number of vendors delivering flowers and condoms one after another, and he joined his hand toward his home. I could see the fans.

Among them, a man in his 50s who lived nearby was holding a bouquet in the corner of the site and mourning the dead Wataru.

The man said, “Since I was a kid, I liked the TV drama “Western Police.” When I saw Wataru at home, I remembered that he kindly responded to me by saying “Grandmaster”. It was a pride of the locals. When I saw it at a restaurant in the neighborhood even after I was seriously ill, I was impressed by the fact that my spine was tingling. "I'm glad you've worked hard up until now," he said.
