Junichi Ishida

Once a celebrated actor, Junichi Ishida, now 70, has witnessed a recent downturn in his television appearances. Embracing a new endeavour, he has embarked on managing a yakiniku restaurant in Funabashi City, Chiba Prefecture, since 2023. The establishment, "Sumibi Yakiniku Junchan," prides itself on offering high-quality domestic beef, with Mr. Ishida predominantly overseeing customer service.

His daily commute from his home in Tokyo to the restaurant takes approximately an hour and a half by train, with working hours from 5:00 PM to 10:30 PM. Reminiscent of his student days when he worked part-time washing dishes, Mr. Ishida is fervently committed to his current vocation. Despite the ebb in his acting career and a significant reduction in his earnings, he is determined to succeed in the management of the yakiniku restaurant, both as a means of supporting his family and sustaining himself.

The establishment enjoys a monthly turnover of around 10 million yen, which he appreciatively describes as "a blessing in today's times." Moreover, Mr. Ishida is passionately intent on venturing into film production as a future pursuit, with plans to draft and direct a new project aiming to commence in 2025.

He has also suggested the potential of appearing on-screen with his son, pledging a triumphant return in three years' time.
