The seventh episode of the NHK Asadora drama "Bakebake " (General TV, Monday to Saturday 8:00 AM and others), starring Akari Takaishi , was broadcast on October 7th, and Nakamura Morimichi, played by Sakai Taisei, appeared as Toki's (Takaishi) arranged marriage partner, which became a hot topic among viewers.
In episode 7, Toki is anxious to get married quickly. However, at the factory, her colleague Sen (Adachi Kino) and Chiyo ( Anna Kurasawa) also get married according to the love fortune-telling. Unable to bear seeing Toki in despair, her relative and the president of the factory , Den Ushimizu(Shinichi Tsutsumi), invites her to a "rendezvous" to cheer her up.
About two weeks later, thanks to Tae (Keiko Kitagawa), Toki's arranged marriage is finally arranged. Her partner, Morimichi, is a former samurai of the Matsue domain, a fine young man who now works in business with his father. The moment Morimichi meets Tsukasanosuke(Takashi Okabe) and Kan'emon (Fumiyo Kohinata), he can't hide his surprise at the sight of the two men in their topknots and formal attire.
When Tsukasanosuke asked what was wrong, Morimichi replied with a wry smile, "You two have beautiful topknots." When Kan'emon said, "If you become the successor, you'll be able to look like this," Morimichi's expression became distorted.
Toki goes to visit him with some tea. Tae advises a nervous Toki, "If you think of your partner as a fox and a weasel, you won't be nervous." Toki mutters, "A fox and a weasel..." and heads towards Morimichi with unnatural movements like a mechanical doll.
Sakai, who plays Morimichi, is known for his role as Kuwagata Oger/Gira in the Super Sentai series "Ohsama Sentai King-Ohger" (2023-2024), and on social media, people have been saying things like, "The matchmaking partner is cool," "I've always thought I've seen this person before, but is the matchmaking King-Ohger?", "Is the matchmaking King-Ohger? It's Gira from King-Ohger!" and "Gira (Sakai Taisei) from King Oger appeared!"
