On the inside, my father also had a complex,” he says. He started farming in Yamanashi Prefecture four years ago and has been active as both an actor and farmer. What Mr. Kudo said he had a complex about was his father, Kimiyasu, who was known as a great pitcher and a great coach. When he felt crushed under the pressure of having a great father whom everyone knew, what helped him to keep his mind off his father? (Continued from Part 1 of 2) [Photo] The strong gaze of Asuka Kudo… the overwhelming aura of Asuka Kudo * * * — In your life so far, have you ever felt complex? I have many. First of all, in terms of appearance, I have a complex about my nose. When I was a child, I often thought, “If only it were a little sleeker, it would be ……. I had a habit of touching my nose with my hand to see if it could be a little thinner. On the inside, my “father” was also a complex. –My father, Kimiyasu Kudo, won the Japan Series with the Seibu Lions, Fukuoka Daiei Hawks (now Softbank), and Yomiuri Giants, and was called a “championship contender. From the time I was born, I grew up in an environment where I was told that I was “the son of Kimiyasu Kudo. I respect and appreciate my father. However, because I inevitably attracted a lot of attention, I sometimes had difficulty getting along with my friends. -As far as you can tell, what were some of the things that happened? I received strange phone calls at home and sometimes letters in the mailbox from strangers. In the old days, addresses were listed in the phone book. I once had a person who did not know I was my son tell me, “Kudo lives here. At that time, I just said, “Oh, I see,” and faked it (laughs). –(Laughs.) – It was a tough time. For me, I thought it was inevitable. When I grew up, I learned that my father and mother took care of us children in various ways so that we would not be affected by our environment. But you can’t protect us from everything, so I think it was very difficult for my father and mother as well.
