The funeral of actor Mikuni Rentaro was held on 17 April at his Numazu City home in Shizuoka Prefecture which was hosted by his son Sato Koichi who thanked those who came for his father's wake and funeral including 50 members of the press. He was with his wife and son and Mikuni's 4th wife at the ceremony where he tried to fight back his tears during the speech. The funeral was a private event attended by 30 people including family members and close friends such as Asada Miyoko who worked with Mikuni in the "Tsuri Baka Nisshi" series.

ReplyDeleteI'm a fan of Sato and feel saddened with his father's death..
Finally able to see his wife and son really surprised me. The son look so much like Sato hehe
Love this blog, keep sharing :)
Sayonara Mikuni-san, God bless you
Although it's sad to see an actor like Mikuni go, that's part and parcel of life, I guess. However, the silver lining behind this piece of news should be the fact that Sato Koichi and his father seem to have buried the hatchet and get along just fine (maybe not as close as most fathers and sons). It was great that Sato managed to meet and spend some quality time with his father before the latter left this world so hopefully, this gives Sato a bit of consolation that he did his part as a son.
