Actor Kohei Higuchi (22) attended a press conference before the ”Higuchi Kohei 2024 Calendar Release Event” held in Tokyo on the 29th. He talked about his beloved cat Momo-chan, who also appears in the calendar.
In the calendar, Higuchi revealed a two-shot with his cat Momo-chan for the first time. When a life-size panel of Momo-chan appeared instead of the actual cat, Higuchi couldn’t help but smile. He appealed to the press, saying, “Isn’t she cute?” and posed as if he was holding Momo-chan for a photo shoot.
Momo-chan is an actor cat who co-starred in the movie “Bokutaro Sentai Don Brothers THE MOVIE New First Love Hero.” Higuchi recalled their first meeting, saying, “Her voice and face were too cute. I was attracted to her face, so I asked the person who brought her to let me have her. It was love at first sight.”
“Although she was small when we first met, she has grown up healthily,” Higuchi reported. While saying, “It’s cute when she pees on my slippers as a form of protest, but I would like her to stop,” he also revealed his affectionate side, saying, “I want to go home even for a short time if I have some free time.”
“She has some cat-like qualities, but she is also clingy. When my friends come to my house, she gets close to them. I think she is truly a former actress cat,” Higuchi expressed his endless love for Momo-chan. He also revealed his romantic view, saying, “When I fall in love, I become the one who pursues. So maybe I’m more suited for a cat-like relationship.”
Higuchi pursued his dream of becoming a soccer player and moved to Tokyo, but he gave up on becoming a J-League development player. After that, he used his tall stature to his advantage and became a model through a scout. He then won the role of Don Momotaro/Taro Momoi in the audition for “Bokutaro Sentai Don Brothers” (2022-23). He also starred in the MBS Drama Shower drama “Body Sensation Forecast” (23) and currently plays the role of a guide for the heroine who is struggling with love and dreams in the ongoing drama “Maybe Koi ga Kikoeru,” as well as the role of Soma Kuki, a part-time job colleague.
How has the inclusion of Higuchi’s cat, Momo-chan, in the calendar enhanced the overall appeal of the “Higuchi Kohei 2024 Calendar Release Event”?
