Nollywood star Deyemi Okanlawon has brought a touch of Japanese tradition to his fans as he joined in celebrating the birthday of Japan’s Emperor.
The talented actor, known for his versatility and charisma, shared stunning photos of himself dressed in traditional Japanese attire. To complement his tribute, Deyemi posted a video of himself speaking Japanese, showcasing his admiration for the culture.
In his message, Deyemi highlighted the Emperor’s role as a symbol of unity, tradition, and peace. He invited Nigerians to join in the celebration, appreciating the warm friendship between Japan and Nigeria.
Fellow Nigerians, today I invite you to join me and the people of Japan in celebrating the birthday of His Majesty, The Emperor of Japan—a symbol of unity, tradition, and peace. As a proud Nigerian embracing the warmth and rich culture of Japan, I deeply appreciate the spirit of friendship between our nations. May this special occasion bring blessings of prosperity and harmony to the people of Japan. Happy Birthday, Your Majesty!” he wrote.
The post also featured a lighthearted exchange in the comment section. Actor Kunle Remi playfully teased Deyemi, suggesting he wait for President Tinubu’s birthday instead, humorously noting that neither leader knows him. Other fans chimed in with cheerful and supportive messages, appreciating the cultural representation.
This cultural tribute adds to Deyemi’s long list of accomplishments. Last year, he had a fanboy moment in Toronto, Canada, when he saw his favorite actor, Denzel Washington, at the premiere of The Piano Lesson. Sharing his excitement, Deyemi marveled at the opportunity to be in the same room as the Hollywood legend.
While pursuing his Hollywood debut, Deyemi gave fans a glimpse into the luxurious Hollywood Hills home he stayed in, reflecting on how far he’s come in his career. From his first role as a child in a commercial alongside veteran actress Sola Sobowale to becoming one of Nollywood’s leading men, Deyemi continues to inspire with his journey.
