The sixth episode of the TV drama "Private Banker" starring Toshiaki Karasawa (TV Asahi, Thursdays 9pm) will be broadcast on February 13th.
Private banker Koichi Anno (Karasawa) receives a call from Takehiro (Hashizume Isao), the president of the Tenmiyaji Aina Group. The time has come to decide who to give away Takehiro's assets of 508.2 billion yen. As tension runs high among the Tenmiyaji family, Takehiro announces some shocking news. He has adopted Soma Emiko (Yamazaki Shizuyo), a caregiver who has devotedly looked after Takehiro, and made her a candidate for inheritance.
While his eldest daughter Saori (Anna Tsuchiya) and other children strongly oppose the idea, his wife Mikoto (Mari Natsuki) readily accepts Takehiro's story. Saori and her friends are worried that Emiko must have approached Takehiro in order to get her fortune, so they ask Anno to expose Emiko's true nature.
Anno begins to investigate Emiko together with his assistants Iida Kumiko (Suzuki Honami) and Mikoshiba Osamu (Uesugi Shuhei), but everyone, including her colleagues and residents at the high-end nursing home where she works, as well as people from her previous workplace, praise her highly.
Saori, fed up with the situation, takes action and finds out that Emiko has bought a luxury bag worth 2 million yen. However, this incident only strengthens Takehiro's trust in Emiko, and Saori and her co. are forced into a difficult situation...
The drama is an original work that focuses on a professional private banker who advises the wealthy on how to manage and build their assets, and is a thrilling money suspense drama in which Anno, a skilled private banker, solves various financial problems of a wealthy family. The total number of views for the first five episodes of the missed broadcast has exceeded 9.56 million (as of February 11, according to Video Research).
