The eighth episode of the TV drama "Private Banker" starring Toshiaki Karasawa(TV Asahi, Thursdays 9pm) will be broadcast on February 27th.
The president of the Tenmiyaji Aina Group, Takehiro (Hashizume Isao), develops dementia. The Tenmiyaji family is shocked. The eldest son, Tsutomu (Yasui Junpei), and his wife, Kasumi (Megumi), become anxious to resolve the issue of succession before he is diagnosed with dementia.
Just then, at an executive meeting, Vice President Mikoto (Natsuki Mari) falsely claims that her husband Takehiro wants to retire and hand over representative rights to Mikoto, and tries to take the position of president by exerting excessive pressure on Tsutomu and the other executives.
At that moment, Takehiro appears with his private banker, Anno (Karasawa). Far from retiring, Takehiro claims that Tenguuji Aina is his company and begins to interfere in its management, and as if he has become a completely different person, he fires those who disagree with him one after another in a rude manner. No one can stop Takehiro's rampage, so Mikoto instructs Anno to give him the final push at all costs.
Tsutomu and Kasumi tell Takehiro lies and make him write a will naming Tsutomu as his successor. Anno, who witnessed the whole thing, somehow encourages Tsutomu and Kasumi, proposing a way to quickly and surely make them the successors. They put this into action at a board meeting in Mikoto's absence, but then the Tenmuji family lawyer Kagaya (Omiya Taro) appears and announces the will that Takehiro said he had written through proper procedures. With Mikoto named as the successor, a one-on-one battle between mother and daughter breaks out.
The script is an original story that focuses on a professional private banker who advises the wealthy on how to manage and build their assets. Anno, a highly skilled private banker, solves various financial problems for wealthy families. The total number of missed broadcasts has exceeded 12.36 million (as of February 25, according to Video Research).
