The 67th episode of the NHK Asadora drama "Anpan " (General TV, Monday to Saturday at 8:00 AM and others), starring Mio Imada , was broadcast on July 1st. Kota ( Takumi Kitamura), also known as "Konta", a childhood friend of Takashi (Kitamura Takumi) who fought alongside him on the battlefield, made a reappearance, which became a hot topic among viewers.
In episode 67, Taku and Kentaro (Fumiya Takahashi) were selling miscellaneous goods that they had collected from the occupying forces. When Kota, who had joined Taku and his friends, returned from collecting the junk, he regretted, "Damn. I didn't get any chocolate. I said 'Give me chocolate' louder than anyone else." When Kentaro was surprised and asked, "You were shouting along with the kids?" Kota replied, "You're an adult, you want to eat chocolate, right?"
On social media, there were voices of relief such as, "Thank goodness, Konta is alive!", "What a relief," "Konta has quietly returned," and "I'm glad that he's safe."
Also, due to the fact that Kota would steal Takashi's lunch and eat it when he was in elementary school, and that he had an obsession with food even at the Kokura Regiment, comments such as "Kontaku has always been a gluttonous character", "Kontaku is always hungry", "Kontaku's obsession with food is as strong as ever lol", and "Kontaku goes to get chocolate among the kids...he's so unwavering" were also received.
