The actress dubbed “The Chinese Gakky”, Ron Monroe, joined “TERRACE HOUSE: TOKYO 2019-2020” on episode 42, which just aired last Monday. While the new member of the Terrace House, the show had been filming for many weeks prior, so she and Kimura Hana had lived with each other for awhile.
Here is what Ron Monroe wrote on Instagram in regards to Kimura Hana’s death, “I was on LINE until noon yesterday, so I was unable to respond. It’s painful, but I have to say this now. I really don’t want to believe it. I wonder why Hana had to leave our world. When I went to see Hana’s wrestling match, I cheered Hana so much to the point that my throat became hoarse, because I was so proud of seeing Hana work so hard! I recently came up with a new cooking recipe which I wanted to eat together with her. Hana was always up for it, she was always calm no matter how spicy the food was, and I was really surprised. When Hana praised me for being cute, she would have this shy expression. It was wonderful seeing her that way. Hana would help teach me with learning Japanese and I will never forget that. I really want to say I’m sorry because there are many things I wish to say to you more quickly and clearly. I’m crying now because I’m sad that now I’m unable to do that. I believe that even if you are in a new world, there are many people who love you. I extend my condolences to her family and thank you”.
