Toshihito Ito
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ito Toshihito (ja: 伊藤俊人) was a Japanese actor and member of the Tokyo Sunshine Boys theatrical troupe. He was born on February 16, 1962 in Niigata, Japan. He died on May 24th, 2002 from a Subarachnoid hemorrhage in the brain. He performed on stage, and on television in series such as Trick and Furuhata Ninzaburo. His trademark was his large, thick-rimmed glasses, which he used solely for comic effect - in fact Ito had 20/20 vision.
Ito joined the Tokyo Sunshine Boys in 1983, while he was a student. When he graduated university he continued acting but took a full-time job as a standard salaryman until his career in acting picked up.
He was married in 2000 to a stylist that he met while filming the movie Shomuni, after dating her for less than six months. Unfortunately he died two years later. They had no children.
