Acclaimed Japanese actor Eisei Yoshida, at the age of 56, is reportedly stepping into a new role in his personal life: that of a father. Yoshida's representatives confirmed the birth of his first child, bringing joy and excitement to the veteran actor. As per Japanese tradition, the child's name and gender have not been disclosed to the public yet.

In Japan, late parenthood, particularly for well-known public figures such as Yoshida, is not uncommon. Japanese society places high importance on the privacy and discretion of celebrities' personal lives, and it's typical not to disclose too many details about the child. Also, there's a societal respect for older fathers, and Yoshida's news has been welcomed positively by fans and media alike.

In contrast, in the US and EU, it is more common for celebrities to share personal milestones, including parenthood and the details of their children, openly with their fans and the media. Late parenthood is also common, but there might be more conversation and scrutiny around the health implications and challenges of raising a child at a later stage of life.
