The first episode of the TV drama series "Private Banker" (TV Asahi, Thursdays 9pm) was broadcast on January 9th. Yusaku Maezawa, the founder of the major clothing online retailer ZOZO and a businessman, appeared in the episode, which became a hot topic.
Maezawa appears at the beginning of the film as the wealthy "Maezawa." He expresses his gratitude to the protagonist, private banker Anno (Toshiaki Karasawa), by inviting him on a private jet purchased by Anno. He then introduces Anno to Tenguuji Takehiro (Isao Hashizume), a multimillionaire with assets of 700 billion yen, at his request.
In response to Maezawa's appearance, viewers posted numerous comments on social media, such as "I started watching Private Banker and then this old man handing out money appeared lol", "I stared at the screen thinking, is that really Maezawa?! lol", "A real rich person appeared (lol)", "He has such a rich vibe about him", and "His acting was pretty good lol".
The drama is an original story that focuses on a private banker, a "money professional" who advises the wealthy on how to manage and build their assets. This is a "delightful money suspense" drama in which Anno, a highly skilled private banker with overwhelming financial knowledge and a wide network of contacts, brilliantly solves various financial problems.
