Mr Watanabe also played leading roles in NHK Taiga Drama series namely Dokuganryu Masamune (1987) and Homura Tatsu (1993-94), samurai period dramas whose backdrop is Tohoku. Dokuganryu was successful in driving him to the stardom. He owes his acting career success to the region.

He hangs out at the cafe K-port in Kesenuma sometimes.
Some friends of mine dropped in for a coffee a few months ago and he was sitting in the corner reading a newspaper.
When he saw my friends, he came over and said, "It's a beauitiful day outside, do you want to take a pic out there?"
Then he said to the oba-chan working in the field next door, "Hey, Oban-chan can you take our photo?"
As you can imagine my friends loved it.
He is there about once a month.
Thank you, Ken.

Volunteered in Kesenuma and if anyone would like to take a look at the true extent of the disaster; go up and take a look and do anything you can.
