Takeshi Naito, a notable actor in Japan, participated as the chief for a day at the Nishi-Arai Police Station on April 21st, coinciding with the spring national traffic safety campaign. The event took place at the Nishi-Arai Daishi temple in Adachi, Tokyo, where Naito encouraged visitors to adhere to traffic rules to protect themselves and their loved ones. His presence aimed to raise awareness about road safety in the community.

During the event, Naito engaged with police officers who presented a traffic safety quiz. He was surprised to learn that the helmet-wearing rate while cycling in Tokyo is merely around 15%. He passionately advocated for helmet use, stating that he wears a helmet even when cycling for roles in dramas, urging attendees to wear helmets for their safety as well. This message resonated deeply, as it highlighted a significant issue concerning cyclists' safety in urban areas.

Moreover, the event featured a parade with the local middle school's brass band performing, emphasizing community involvement in promoting safety. With three fatalities reported in traffic accidents within the Nishi-Arai jurisdiction by March 20 this year, Traffic Division Chief Yota Kato stressed the need for increased police presence on the streets to foster a safer traffic environment, indicating ongoing concerns about road safety in the area.
