Ogura Tomoaki Passes Away at 77, Revealed True Feelings in February Book

Ogura Tomoaki, who served as a newscaster on Fuji TV’s morning information program “Information Presenter Tokudane!”, passed away on the 9th. 77 years old. Born in Akita City. The cause of death has not been revealed. He is active as a clear and articulate host. He announced he had bladder cancer in 2016 and had a long battle with the disease, which had also spread to his lungs, but he now had no strength left. In “Honne” (written by Furuichi Noritoshi), published in February this year, Ogura candidly revealed everything from his upbringing to his views on work and life. He looked back on his childhood when he struggled with stuttering, his poor life after going freelance from being a station announcer, and his memories from his 22 years as an MC on “Tokudane!” He also shared his personal views on issues such as infidelity and the current state of the media. As the title suggests, he confessed his true feelings, including his anger towards a comedian who made fun of his wig. Ogura’s comments, such as “All the money and preparations I’ve made have been completely shattered,” and “Retirement isn’t as easy as I had imagined it would be,” also drew a lot of attention.
