• He has admitted to being a hetare. The subject came up on a radio show with Sanae Kobayashi, and the two self-styled hetares seemed to have formed a 'hetare union', although it is not clear whether there are any other members.

• At first, as he enjoyed playing with his friends' children, he wanted to become an infant carer. However, he suddenly changed his mind and became a seiyu.
