The 11th episode of the NHK Asadora drama "Anpan " (General TV, Monday to Saturday at 8:00 AM and others), starring Mio Imada , was broadcast on April 14th, with Ichikawa Tomohiro appearing as Lieutenant Takashima.
" 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." It 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."
In the 11th episode, in 1935, Nobu (Imada), a fifth-year student at a girls' high school, reunites with Lieutenant Takashima (Ichikawa Tomohiro) one day and receives an order for 200 bean-jam Anpan to be used in a bread-eating contest at a festival.
While the Asada family is excited by the big project since the opening of Asada Bakery, Takashi (Takumi Kitamura) is shaken by the friendly relationship between Nobu and Kijima. Takashi doesn't know what he wants to do in the future. Hiroshi (Yutaka Takenouchi) advises Takashi to think hard until he finds something that suits him.
Ichikawa, who plays Lieutenant Kijima, who arouses Taka's jealousy, was born on September 6, 1991 in Tokyo. He won the grand prize at the 21st Junon Super Boy Contest in 2008, and made his acting debut the following year in 2009 in the drama "Kaidoku: Urban Legend Code Mystery" (Kantele/Fuji TV). For special effects fans, he is familiar for his role as Kamen Rider Saikou/Yuri in "Kamen Rider Saber" (TV Asahi), which aired from 2020 to 2021.
Also, on the 3rd of this month, he announced that he had married former member of the idol group Nogizaka46, a talent, Seira Nagashima, garnering a lot of attention.
