Diamonds Sleeping in the Sea:"Asako" Hana Sugisaki's younger brother, change of child actor cast becomes hot topic "Too natural change"

The sixth episode of the TBS Sunday Theatre drama "Diamonds Sleeping in the Sea" (Sunday 9pm) starring actor Ryunosuke Kamiki was broadcast on December 1st. Akiko Nogi, the scriptwriter for the drama, revealed on her official X (formerly Twitter) account that there had been a change in the cast of Takeo, Asako's (Hana Sugisaki) younger brother, which became a hot topic on social media.

Nogi-san revealed, "You may have noticed. As time passed, Asako's younger brother Takeo passed the baton from Banka Kyuta to his older brother Banka Tenka." Banka Tenka is Banka Kyuta's real-life brother and is currently active as a child actor.

On social media, the transition became a hot topic, with comments such as, "It was too natural," "I've never seen a child actor grow up so naturally," "Takeo! The child actor has become a big brother!" and "It's a passing of the baton that makes you wonder if it's possible for a child actor to grow up so naturally."
