Is Ikushima Hiroshi really known for being fond of women? I would like to know more about that.
Rumors About Ikushima Hiroshi’s Affection for Women
While chatting with my friends, the topic came up: “Ikushima Hiroshi is known to be quite fond of women, right?” I, too, admire his conversational skills and unique character, which has sparked my
curiosity about his private life.
Does He Like Unconventional Women?
According to my friend, he has an impression of Ikushima as someone who is “ordinary-looking but seems to have a preference for eccentric women.” Indeed, listening to him speak, his perspective on women feels a bit unconventional, making it hard to judge by standard criteria. Interestingly, there’s a story about him where he would “randomly ask for the phone numbers of women he liked.” My friend joked that it was as if a pervert was walking around dressed in clothes and chatting.
The Charisma of a Showa-era Man
Ikushima’s conversations carry a nostalgic scent of the Showa era, exuding a unique “old man charm” typical of men from his generation. I also enjoy Showa-era comedy, and listening to his “old man talk” always brings a smile to my face. His discussions often include a bit of risqué humor and light-hearted jokes, which likely attract his fans.
My Memories and Shared Feelings
Reflecting on it, I remember attending a comedy live show with friends, where there was a comedian with a similar conversational style, and I thought, “That unique perspective is hilarious!” The free-spirited remarks of older men and their interest in unconventional women tend to entertain us. Moreover, as a dad with kids, I occasionally find myself making “old man” comments that elicit laughter, too. What do you all think about Ikushima Hiroshi?
