Ryo Nishikido cooks pudding for his co-stars
Tokyo fans were treated to a real family scene when Ryo Nishikido (25) invited his movie co-stars to eat his homemade pudding at an event held on Sunday, reports CinemaCafe.net and Movie Collection NEWS.
The NEWS and Kanjani8 star and fellow “ちょんまげぷりん (Chonmage Pudding)” stars Rie Tomosaka, Fuku Suzuki, and movie director Yoshihiro Nakamura went around several movie theatres in Tokyo on August 15 to thank fans for watching their film. At the first event of the day, in Shinjuku Musashino-kan, Nishikido’s homemade sweets were brought out for his co-stars to eat.

It has been reported that child actor Suzuki opened his mouth wide as Nishikido fed him his pudding, and then yelled out a satisfying “ウマーい! (Umai! It’s good!)”.
Suzuki had had the opportunity to eat many sweets Nishikido had made during filming, but said today’s pudding had tasted the best.
Nishikido, who looked relieved after Suzuki’s positive reaction, told his co-star he would make it again for him some time.
Actress Tomosaka had said Nishikido’s pudding was “amazingly delicious!” while director Nakamura had said the pudding had “a very homemade taste”.
An embarrassed Nishikido said he had to make the pudding twice before getting it right.
“The first time I made it, I forgot to put in the vanilla essence so I had to make it all over again. The second time it only took me 15 minutes to make,” he said.

The main purpose of the event was to thank fans for seeing the movie, which has to date attracted more than 100,000 viewers.
Nishikido said it was the fans efforts that have contributed to the movie’s box office success.
“I wish I could tell you all to watch it several times, but if everyone could love the film enough to think they could watch it several times, then that would make me happy.
“You can hate Ryo Nishikido, because knowing you like Chonmage Pudding would be enough for me,” he said.
However, Nishikido suggested men should watch the movie several times. The star had picked out a fan’s “wish request” which read: “I wish for a boyfriend just like Yasubee”.
“There aren’t many men around [today] who are like Yasubee, so I think men should watch it at least five times and study how they can be more like Yasubee,” he said.
Co-star Suzuki picked out a fan’s wish request which read: “I wish that Fuku-chan and Nishikido stay freinds forever”.
The young actor described his admiration for Nishikido, revealing he had given Nishikido a hat as a present yesterday.
“I love Nishikido so I’m going to work hard so he doesn’t forget about me,” he said.
Nishikido had a kind response to his co-star: “Thanks. I’ll wear [the hat] somewhere.”
