The 51st episode of the NHK Asadora drama "Anpan " (General TV, Monday to Saturday at 8:00 AM and others), starring Mio Imada , was broadcast on June Getsuku, and viewers were drawn to the words and actions of Private First Class Yagi (Satoshi Tsumabuki) of the Kokura Regiment.

In the 51st episode, Taka is transferred from the Kochi regiment to the Kokura regiment, known for its bravery. He begins his harsh military life, where he is subjected to violence under the strict guidance of senior soldiers such as Baba (played by Itabashi Shunya), who is in charge of training new recruits. However, Private First Class Yagi, who is in charge of Taka, is strict but never hits him, and he draws a line between himself and the veteran soldiers.

One day, when Taka was ordered to take care of the horses at headquarters, he asked a recruit working with him, "It's about Private First Class Yagi...why are people of higher rank than him all bowing so much? Everyone is scared of him, so I wonder who he is?" He then muttered in surprise, "That guy doesn't hit anyone."

Afterwards, Kamino (Eita Okuno), the squad leader of the Kokura Regiment's internal affairs squad, gathers the rest of his squad and yells that the company warrant officer scolded him for being the slowest recruit in the internal affairs squad. He also shouts at Baba and Koda (Ryosuke Hagiwara), saying, "You guys haven't been trained properly!", and punishes the squad members one after another with Tekken. Then, Yagi, who was reading on his bed, calls out, "Hey squad leader. Keep it moderate," and stops Kamino.

Baba and the others, who received the Tekken punishment for the wrongdoing, falsely accused Taka of stealing Koda's combat cap, calling it "pampering." Taka denied it, but their accusations were not accepted and he was slapped several times. Then Yagi came and took Taka away, saying, "Let me put on my mask."

Yagi told Taka, "You may not last until the battlefield. You will give up in despair and hang yourself in the toilet or the backyard. I've seen many recruits like that," and ordered Taka to shine his shoes.

Yagi behaves differently from other soldiers, not using violence, quietly reading books by himself, and looking up at the night sky after lights out and lost in thought. On social media, people have been saying things like, "Who is Private First Class Yagi?", "He's so mysterious," "Friend or foe?", "He must be a good person," "I feel like he's casually protecting Taka and the others from unreasonable violence without them realizing," "What in his past must he have that even his superiors can't stand up to him," and "Private First Class Yagi's sense of being 'different' is a comfort to me."
