The 75th episode of the NHK Asadora drama "Anpan " (General TV, Monday to Saturday at 8:00 AM and others), starring Imada Mio, was broadcast on July 11th. In the episode, Maki Tetsuko, played by Mio Imada Keiko, the voice actress of Anpanman in the popular anime series "Soreike! Anpanman" (Nippon TV), made her full appearance, which became a hot topic among viewers.
In the 74th episode (aired on July 10th), the day before a business trip to Tokyo, Nobu (Imada), who was checking the documents of the congressman he was going to interview, became interested in Tetsuko Maki, a female congressman nicknamed the "Queen of the Underpass," who Iwashimizu ( Yuki Kura) said he wanted to interview first.
In the 75th episode, Nobu and his friends arrive in Tokyo and immediately begin to investigate, but they have difficulty finding the "Queen Under the Guard." Tokairin (Kenjiro Tsuda), Iwashimizu, and Takashi (Takumi Kitamura) fill their stomachs with oden from a food stall, but Nobu, who is full of excitement from coming to Tokyo, is unable to eat.
The group resumed their interview, but suddenly Takashi clutched his stomach and crouched down on the spot. Tokairin and Iwashimizu returned, clutching their stomachs and looking in pain. Nobu asked a woman passing by if there was a doctor nearby, but the woman was surprised and said, "Because you'd eat oden on such a hot day," and said, "Well, I guess there's no other way," and offered to let them use her room.
After taking a rest, the three of them recovered. Nobu told the woman that he was a reporter and asked her if she knew the Queen of the Underpass. The woman said that she didn't know anyone like that, but in fact she was the very woman Nobu and the others were looking for, Maki Tetsuko.
On the day they left Tokyo, Nobu consulted Tokairin about writing an article about the woman who had helped them. When they headed to the underpass with Taka, Tetsuko was playing mahjong with the bosses under the overpass, with the children's shelter at stake. Tetsuko declared, "Don't mess with me!" and performed a dramatic comeback from last place with "Tsumo! Honitsu, Toitoi, Azuma, Dora 3, and the parent double."
In the 74th episode, only her feet and back were seen, but now she is making her full appearance, and on social media, people are saying things like, "Anpanman is here!!!" "The real star has appeared!" "Tetsuko is so cool as she challenges the bosses in Tosa dialect" and "She has a different presence. She really shines!"
