Shintani Makoto Ushers in Fatherhood Upgrade: First Child Born in Hawaii

According to the Japanese magazine "Female SEVEN," following the birth of younger brother Makoto Jodo's firstborn son with his wife in late July, Shintani Makoto has also welcomed his first child at a hospital in Hawaii.

Both Makoto Jodo and Shintani Makoto, the two brothers, got married and became fathers simultaneously. On their father's birthday this year, they announced their marriages and soon after, the brothers learned that their wives were pregnant around the same time. Both of their wives are ordinary women, and personal details such as their ages have not been disclosed.

For those who are older, the names Shintani Makoto and Makoto Jodo might sound unfamiliar. However, if you mention their father, Chiba Shinichi (the actor who portrayed "Yun Pa" in "The Storm Riders"), many people will recognize him.

The 19th marks the two-year anniversary of Chiba Shinichi's passing. The two brothers are also planning to announce the joyful news of their grandchildren's births at their father Chiba Shinichi's grave in the near future.
