The 36th episode of the NHK morning drama " Anpan " starring Mio Imada(General Asadora , Monday to Saturday at 8:00 AM and others) was broadcast on May 19th. At the end, Setsuko Wakamatsu, played by Misuzu Kanno , made her first appearance, which became a hot topic among viewers.
In the 36th episode, Nobu (Imada) has been a teacher at her alma mater, Gomenyo Elementary School, for a year and a half, and spends her days instilling patriotism in her students. When Nobu turns 20, he receives several marriage proposals, but he has no intention of getting married, as he wants to continue working as a teacher.
Towards the end of the story, Setsuko suddenly comes to the Asada household and asks Kamaji ( Kotaro Yoshida) and Kura (Asada Miyoko), "Sorry to interrupt you unexpectedly. I know this is a rude question, but there is a young lady here named Nobu, isn't there? Has she married off somewhere yet?"
When Kamaji responded, "Eh... I'm still not done with cleaning up, so I'll be working as a teacher...?", Setsuko was pleased, saying, "Oh! That's good." The 36th episode ended with Kura asking, "Who is this?"
Setsuko, played by Kamino, is the mother of Jiro (played by Ayumu Nakajima), who works as a first-class engineer. She finds out about Nobu and brings the idea of an arranged marriage between Jiro and the Asada family. Kamino has appeared in numerous dramas and movies to date, demonstrating her outstanding presence. In recent years, she has appeared in the TBS Sunday Theatre series Anti-Hero, which will air in April 2024, Secret ~THE TOP SECRET~ (Fuji TV) in January of this year, and Mamono, which is currently airing on TV Asahi, Fridays at 11:15 p.m. (excluding some regions).
On social media, people were saying things like, "Whenever Misuzu Kanno appears in a TV drama, it only brings with it an ominous feeling," "The image of her past roles is so strong that I only feel something ominous when I see Misuzu Kanno, so I wonder if she's okay," "In Sunday Theatre, she usually plays the bad guy lol," and "I knew it was Misuzu Kanno right away by her voice."
