It has been revealed that actor Maika Yamamoto will star in the drama "Reiwa no San-ei Ketsu!" (Chukyo TV/Nippon TV), which will be broadcast on the 55th anniversary of Chukyo TV's launch. The drama was created and directed by Nagoya-born director Yukihiko Tsutsumi, and features a "hyper comedy drama" with a large gathering of eccentric characters who bring love for Aichi and Nagoya to the forefront. Other cast members from Aichi Prefecture, including Aya Hirano and Jiro Sato, also appear in the drama.
The comedy depicts a battle over stubbornness, pride and lineage between characters who believe they are direct descendants of the "Three Great Heroes of the Warring States Period" - Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Ieyasu - and the script is written by Norihiko Tsukuda, who is also from Nagoya.
Yamamoto plays Yoshino Oda, the only daughter of Kitchen Knob, a long-established Western restaurant. She questions the old-fashioned way of doing things, which is causing customers to leave, and proposes a new menu for young people, which puts her at odds with her old-fashioned father, Nobuo Oda (Sato). However, he is anxious to get married before he turns 25... His role is one in which he is in a hurry.
Okayama Amane plays Kinoshita Tokichi, the only son of Toyotomi Manufacturing, a sheet metal factory near Nakamura Park, and a descendant of the Toyotomi clan, who are at odds with the Oda clan. He is a young man who discovered his love for acting at university and continues to do so without getting a job. He meets Yoshino, who is recognized for her archery skills and attends a rehearsal for a play...
Hirano plays Tokugawa Kasuga, the wife of Tokugawa Yasumoto, the owner of Grand Hotel Aoi in Okazaki. She holds real power by bossing her husband Yasumoto, who is 20 years older than her. Her good looks make her an influential influencer, and she makes some disturbing moves...
The drama "Reiwa's Three Heroes!" will be broadcast on Chukyo TV and Nippon TV in the Wednesday Platinum Night slot from 11:59 pm for two weeks on December 11th and 18th.
