"Everyone who supported Aikawa Kinya"

Actor Aikawa Kinya died a long time at 5:11 am April 15, 2015 because of lung cancer (yes).

I complained about physical condition from last winter and I examined it, and it turned out to be lung cancer.

According to the desire of the individual himself, I have continued hard treatment at home without doing hospitalization, but the condition (Shirai) suddenly changed and I left at home.

Following the wishes of the deceased, we have carried out a relief already with a close relative.

I would like to apologize to you from this heart that Aichikawa has been indebted to the people who have taken care of this issue as long as we can not accept enough reports.

He was hiding his medical condition with a strong hope of his principal who was hoping to return to work until the end.

Akikawa who worked as a human being has been passionate about his work even after he developed lung cancer, and I told him to go to work "until just before taking his / her breath.

I am thankful to all the people who supported the life of happy Aikawa Kinya until the end.

In addition, although it is truly selfish, thank you for your understanding that we will not accept offerings, flowers, condolences, etc.
