Nishida Toshiyuki

[Roland Domenig]

Nishida Toshiyuki is fine and getting a lot of attention these days. the day
before yesterday the 15. instalment of the "Tsuri-baka nisshi" series opened
with the obligatory butai aisatsu of the stars on opening night.
also, last week the first part of the four-part NHK-drama "Jiiji ? Mago to
ita natsu" was aired in which Nishida for the first played the role of a
grandfather.
