Nanamika's coat and Ken Mitsuishi flutter in the sea breeze.

A byplayer is a supporting actor who plays a supporting role. Ken Mitsuishi, a renowned by-player actor, got his start in high school when he won a leading role in a movie by audition. More than 40 years have passed since then. In addition to his ability to play a variety of roles, he also attracts attention for his personal fashion. How did Mr. Mitsuishi, the "nice old man," get to where he is today? We will talk about his acting, the works that became turning points for him, his fashion, which he seems not to be particular about, and "NANAMICA". ......

Nanamika's appeal as a great bi player.

I heard that you are a fan of "NANAMICA". What was it that led you to use NANAMICA?

Light stone: I don't remember the details, but I think the first time I saw Nick Wooster wearing "Nanamika" somewhere and thought it looked cool. That was about 20 years ago. I have been wearing it ever since.

Mitsuishi's personal mountain parka

This is my second mountain parka. The first one had more pockets and was lined with a black watch pattern of navy blue, dark green, and black checks. Then I bought a second one a few years ago."

What do you think is attractive about NANAMICA?

Light stone: The shape is simple and orthodox, but the materials are particular. I like the fact that they don't emphasize it too loudly. For example, the coat I wore in the first scene today is one of my favorites. I also love the wool material. Also, the double-breasted coat in the second scene is made of cotton on the outside, but has Gore-Tex on the inside. That kind of "hidden specs" is cool. Sometimes chefs explain, "This is made with ingredients from the hundredth region," but sometimes I just think, "As long as it tastes good, it's good enough. That's how I feel about Nanamika. At first glance, it looks orthodox, but it is actually highly functional. That's what I like about it.

When do you wear it most often?

Light stone: I wear them on a daily basis, but they are also useful when traveling. The same is true of suits made by Nanamica, which are wrinkle-free, water-repellent, and really highly functional. That's why I've been using them for a long time. I can wear it to the field as it is, and it blends in anywhere.
