A year after the hit-and-run incident, Japanese actor Kentaro Ito (24 years old) made a comeback. The starring works "I Am Big Brother" and the new version of "Tokyo Love Story" will be allowed to be broadcast on TV stations in October.

On October 28, 2020, Kentaro Ito was arrested for escaping while driving a motorcycle in Tokyo's Shibuya ward, causing minor injuries to one person and one person to serious injury. After his release, he publicly bowed and apologized for 36 seconds. After the incident, the act of fleeing the scene suffered a lot of accusations, and related works such as "Day Face", "Evil Hua", and "I Am Big Brother" were banned from the shelves, and the acting career suffered a heavy blow, and even Kimura Takuya's works were also implicated. Various liquidated damages for advertisements amounted to 500 million yen.

Saddled with a penalty of 500 million yen, he posted on the social platform Instagram on his birthday on June 30 that he had resumed his acting activities.
"Hello everyone, I haven't seen you in a long time, I'm Kentaro Ito." / Because the things I caused caused trouble for everyone, made everyone worry. / Received a lot of letters from fans at such times. / Really appreciated. / In the future, I will repay you a little bit. "We will return to the studio official FC on June 30."
He said that he would first reorganize the operation of a fan club (with an annual membership fee of 6,600 yen) and hold a photo exhibition in July. It also said that he would appear in a stage play at the end of October.

Kentaro Ito was previously unknown, and was known for playing Shinji Ito in 18 years of "I Am Big Brother", with a prickly head and funny characters. Ito was discovered by a female producer from a subsidiary of Japanese television, and when she was selecting actors, she immediately fell in love with Kentaro Ito, who was not popular at the time. As a result, Ito played the character perfectly, and the TV series and theatrical version of the movie were welcomed and loved by the audience. The female producer decided to make a sequel at that time, but it was not expected that Ito had a hit-and-run incident.
The female producer is actually a production assistant, and "I Am Big Brother" is her Virgo. It gave her a headache. The female producer said: The rebroadcast of "I Am Big Brother" will play some scenes that have been deleted, and it is important whether the replay of "I Am Big Brother" can be re-accepted. If the ratings are good and the call for a sequel is high, it may become a breakthrough for Ito's comeback again. However, if Japanese television receives a complaint, the false plan may not work. At the same time, I think Ito's official comeback will take more time. ”
Will Ito make a smooth comeback? At present, judging from the evaluation of Ito by Japanese netizens, I am afraid that it is still difficult.
