Actor Kenta Suga is the 'totonoi' guest! "Savanna Takahashi's Sauna God" airs tomorrow, April 4th (Sat) from 18:00!

"Savanna Takahashi's Sauna God" (airing every other Saturday from 18:00-18:30 on TOKYO MX (Tokyo area: terrestrial 9ch)) is a sauna talk show where Shigeo Takahashi of Savanna, known for his love of saunas, invites various guests to the sauna. After their mind and body are "reset" (totonotta), he asks them about the "reset" moments in their lives—their "turning points."

Tomorrow, April 4th (Saturday), we welcome actor Kenta Suga, who was praised as a "child prodigy" for his roles in dramas like "Hito ni Yasashiku" and movies like "ALWAYS Sanchome no Yuhi." The broadcast will be from Kenko Yokusen (Nakano-ku, Tokyo).

In the opening, stories emerge about the common experience of child actors, such as how ordering beer at an izakaya still surprises people and how he's often offered sweet snacks, indicating that his image as a child actor remains strong.

After finding mental and physical "reset" in the sauna, the honest talk delves into moments in his life when he achieved a "reset." He says the catalyst for entering entertainment was his childhood desire, at age 4, to meet the sentai hero he saw on TV. He applied to a newspaper's child actor recruitment and continued to audition, but only landed extra roles without lines. When he was 7, just as he was thinking of quitting, he landed a role in the Getsuku drama "Hito ni Yasashiku." His co-starring with Shingo Katori, Mitsuru Matsuoka, and Koji Kato instantly made him a nationwide star. He recounted his breakthrough at the time, saying about the day after the broadcast: "There was a crowd in front of the classroom, and I wondered what was happening. When I entered the classroom, I realized, 'Huh? Are they here to see me?! Oh, that's amazing!'" He also shared hilarious backstage stories with Katori and Kato!

Regarding his appearance in the movie "ALWAYS Sanchome no Yuhi" at age 10, he confessed, "At a time when I was starting to care about my appearance, I really resisted the mushroom haircut with short, straight bangs, even if it was for a role." He disliked the Showa-era hairstyle.

When he became a high school student, his work drastically decreased due to the gap between his child actor image and his age. Although he attended an entertainment course, he almost never missed a day. While losing sight of his purpose, thinking "I want to act, but I'm not needed...", he encountered Tsuyoshi Morita's stage performance. We delve into Kenta Suga's "reset moment" where he decided to reset his past self and walk a new path.

Furthermore, don't miss out on valuable talks that can only be heard after a "reset" in the sauna, such as "the financial situation of child actors" and a surprising "broken bone incident" during filming!
