A star-studded ceremony was held yesterday to commemorate the anniversary of the death of legendary actor and singer Ishihara Yujiro. The day, as it has been on all previous anniversaries, was rainy (well, it is the rainy season after all). Ishihara and his writer brother Shintaro, now governor of Tokyo, rose to fame in the 1950s. Yujiro became one of the biggest stars of the 20th century, the Japanese equivalent of Elvis, and died in 1987 at the age of 52. His management agency, Ishihara Pro continues to provide some of the top male stars of TV and film. Yesterday’s ceremony was attended by Yujiro’s widow Makiko (69), his brother, and such luminaries as Watari Tetsuya (61), Tate Hiroshi (53) and Tokushige Satoshi (24), chosen as the “21st-century Yujiro.”
