The NHK Taiga drama " UNBOUND (Berabou) " (General TV, Sunday 8:00 pm and others) starring actor Ryusei Yokohama . In the third episode "Many Visitors 'One Glance, One Thousand Books'" broadcast on January 19th, viewers were drawn to the "face" of Kataoka Ainosuke, who plays Urokogataya Magobei, at the end of the episode.
In the third episode, even after Tsutaesu (Yokohama-san) has reformed Yoshiwara Hosomi, he continues to raise funds from the prostitutes and rushes around to create a new book.
Surugaya (Katsumi Takahashi) is furious and cannot forgive Tsutaju for this, so he kicks him out of his house. Tsutaju, however, refuses to give up on making books, so he visits the artist Kitao Shigemasa (Jun Hashimoto). Meanwhile, in Edo Castle, Tanuma Okitsugu(Ken Watanabe) is consulting with Shogun Ieharu (Kokoro Terada) back to the Shirakawa Matsudaira family for adoption, which had once been cancelled... and so the story unfolds.
Towards the end of the film, Yoshiwara becomes a place of thriving visitors thanks to Tsutaju's "One Thousand Books at a Glance." Ichiuemon, the owner of Surugaya, who had been so opposed to Tsutaju's bookmaking, also approves, and just when you think everything will be happy, Ayase Haruka's narration begins, "But behind the scenes, dark passions are lurking," and Urokogataya's profile is shown in close-up.
On social media, comments such as "Oh, what's wrong with Ainosuke...?", "Uroko has a mean look on his face", "Ainosuke looks like he's wearing makeup, it's good that he's playing a villain", and "Ainosuke doesn't need makeup" were posted. In addition, referring to his hit role as Kurosaki in the hit drama "Hanzawa Naoki" (TBS), viewers commented, "Is that the Financial Services Agency...", "A special inspection by the Financial Services Agency?!" and "He looks like the National Tax Agency."
Ainosuke plays Urokogataya Magobei, the owner of a local book wholesaler in Nihonbashi (now Chuo Ward) and Fukagawa (now Koto Ward), one of Edo's leading areas, who became a pioneer of the yellow-covered picture book for adults, "Kaneka Sensei Eika Yume." He teaches Tsutajyo the basics of business, entrusting her with her first proper bookmaking job. When Tsutajyo begins to get serious about her bookselling business, the relationship suddenly changes and the two become rivals, pitting them against each other in a fierce battle. He is "both my mentor in the bookselling business and my biggest enemy in the industry."
In addition, the preview for the fourth episode, "Hinagata Wakana's Sweet Trap," which will air on January 26th, features the words "numerous traps set."
