The second episode of the NHK morning drama " Anpan " starring Mio Imada (General TV, Monday to Saturday 8:00 am and others) was broadcast on April 1st. In the flashback scene of the episode, Kazunari Ninomiya , who plays Takashi's ( Asadora ) late father, Kiyoshi, made his first appearance, attracting the attention of viewers.
" Anpan" is based on the married couple Takashi Yanase(1919-2013) and Nobu Komatsu(1918-1993), the manga artist and picture book writer who created "Anpanman." This is a "story of love and courage" that will make you feel the joy of living, depicting how these two, who were once nobody, overcame all sorts of rough seas to become "Anpanman," the embodiment of "unreversible justice."Nobu Komatsu Nobu Asada, and Takashi Yanase Takumi plays Takashi Yanai, who is based on Yanase Takumi Kitamura .
In the second episode, Nobu (Yuzuna Nagase) talks dreamily about the deliciousness of the Anpan made by Kusakichi ( Sadao Abe ). At the same time, she has been thinking about Taka, who she told to "go back to Tokyo." Nobu chases away the bad boys in her class who are trying to steal Taka's lunch, and takes back her word that she told Taka to go back to Tokyo.
One day, while Taku was standing by the riverbank, Kusakichi came over. The two laughed, saying, "You don't belong in this town either," and "You too?" Then Nobu came running over, wanting to know Kusakichi's background, asking, "How can you bake such delicious bread?" and "Are you from Tokyo?" Taku replied, "I've eaten bread just as delicious as that one before," and "My dad bought it for me on his way home from work. It was from a bakery in Ginza."
Towards the end of the film, Taka draws a picture of the whole family eating bread, remembering the happy times when Kiyoshi was alive. In the flashback scene, Kiyoshi smiles kindly at his son eating the Anpan and asks, "Taka, is it delicious?"
Kiyoshi, played by Ninomiya, was a man who worked for a publishing company before dying of illness while working overseas for a newspaper company. He had a deep knowledge of literature and art, and Takashi loved his father very much.
Ninomiya only appeared in a flashback scene for about 20 seconds, and comments on social media included, "Nino's devastating power after just appearing for a moment!", "Nino suddenly appeared in a Asadora lol, the cast is so impressive lol", "A memorable Asadora debut for Ninomiya-kun!" and "It's so extravagant that Nino only appears in a flashback scene."
