Kamen Rider Ex-Aid Lead Actor Hiroki Iijima Teaches Children Emergency Procedures

Children on a field trip to the Ministry of Health were given a surprise visit by Hiroki Iijima to teach them about heart massages this past Wednesday.

On August 2nd, the Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare in Kasumigaseki, Tokyo hosted a Children’s Field Trip Day for a group of school children. During the field trip, Kamen Rider Ex-Aid lead actor Hiroki Iijima made an appearance. In the currently-airing TV Asahi program, the character of Emu Hojo is an intern at a university hospital. Iijima then led a demonstration in front of 100 children and adults in how to properly perform a heart massage on a dummy. The children then had the opportunity to practice the heart massage methods themselves.

The children were finally allowed to take photos with Ex-Aid’s new form from the upcoming film Kamen Rider Ex-Aid: True Ending, VRX Creator Gamer. The lead speaker at the field trip event told the children, “Through this event, I want you to become familiar with pediatric medical care.”

Kamen Rider Ex-Aid: True Ending releases in Japanese theaters on Saturday, August 5th.
