Actor Atsushi Ito will appear on the NHK program "Dosta" (General TV, Saturday 1:50 pm) broadcast on June 28. The program on this day is a special feature on the NHK's historical drama "UNBOUND (Berabou)," and Ito, who plays the owner of the Yoshiwara brothel "Oomonjiya," will be interviewed about the behind-the-scenes of the drama and highlights of the show.
In "UNBOUND," Ito plays two roles: the first Ooya Ichibei and the second who appeared after the first's death. We take a look at the filming of the Yoshiwara brothel owners known as "Banhachi," their interactions with the protagonist Tsutaju (played by Ryusei Yokohama), their practice of throwing fan-like movements and shamisen, and the backstage performance of the sparrow dance.
Also, what are his thoughts on the courtesan from Ooya, Daresode (Haruka Fukuhara), who is involved in the smuggling story in Ezo? Interviews with fellow cast members include fellow Bouhachi members Bokuzo Masana and Yumi Adachi, as well as Kazuki Enari.
