The character relationship chart for the Asadora"Anpan" from the 23rd week has been released

A new character relationship chart for the NHK Asadora drama "Anpan " (General TV, Monday to Saturday 8am and other times), starring Mio Imada , has been released on the drama's official website. The chart, which begins on September 1st and begins with the 23rd week, "We Are Powerless", sees the "resurrection" of Sokichi Yamura(Sadao Abe), also known as "Yam-san", who also appeared in the preview for that week. There are four weeks left of the drama's broadcast.

Yam-san is a mysterious man who appeared out of nowhere in Kochi when Nobu (Imada) was a child. He is strict about money and has a bad mouth, but he is a skilled bread maker. At Nobu's request, he becomes a baker at "Asada Bread." He stayed with the Asada family for many years, but left during the war. He suddenly appeared when Nobu's grandfather, Kamaji (Kotaro Yoshida), passed away, but disappeared again.

The official website also introduced him as "Yam-san's first appearance in a long time!", announcing his return after seven weeks since Week 16, "Live with Fun." His title remains the same: "Baker." His appearance doesn't seem to have changed much, but where has he been and what has he been doing up until now?

Furthermore, the new character relationship chart does not include the names of the Karashima family's eldest daughter, Karashima Ai (Okamoto Nozomi), and second daughter, Karashima Hana (Toren Ai), so it seems likely that each child actor's appearances will end last week.

"Anpan" is based on the married couple Takashi Yanase(1919-2013), the manga artist and picture book author who created "Anpanman," and his wife, Nobu (1918-1993). It is a "story of love and courage" that will fill you with the joy of living, depicting how these two, who were once nobodys, overcame all sorts of rough seas to become "Anpanman," the embodiment of "unreversible justice."
