Keiko Toda says her weight fell to 34.3 kg during illness

Japanese actor Keiko Toda said her weight fell to 34.3 kg after she became ill and was hospitalized.

The 69-year-old spent her birthday, September 12, in hospital after a fever continued.

She shared that the low reading was recorded on October 8, and said she was worried her weight would keep falling.

She also felt weak and lost muscle, saying she had trouble using her abdominal strength.

Toda said she is now gaining weight quickly and asked people not to worry.

She had previously said she weighed less than 40 kg, including while performing in a solo stage show.

The episode raised concerns about the effect of illness on her strength, though she did not describe a diagnosis.

She is performing in the stage production “Hoshikuzu no Machi: Boukyaku-hen” in Iwate, and said she rested at her hotel during a day off while considering her health.
