Mio Imada stars in the NHK Asadora drama "Anpan" (General TV, Monday to Saturday, 8:00 AM and other times). According to the latest character relationship chart published on the drama's official website, Hinata Todo will appear as Eisuke Mutsuhara from the 20th week, "Look Up at the Stars at Night," which begins on August 11th.
This is Todo's first appearance in a Asadora. He plays Mutsuhara Eisuke, an up-and-coming director, lyricist, and scriptwriter. He is a genius with flashes of inspiration, and an eccentric character. He works with Takashi (Takumi Kitamura) and Takuya (Motoki Omori). The official website describes him as "the people surrounding Nobu (Imada) and Takashi." Solo shots have also been released.
"Anpan" is based on the married couple Takashi Yanase(1919-2013), the manga artist and picture book author who created "Anpanman," and his wife, Nobu (1918-1993). It is a "story of love and courage" that will fill you with the joy of living, depicting how these two, who were once nobodys, overcame all sorts of rough seas to become "Anpanman," the embodiment of "unreversible justice."
In the 20th week, Taka, who had retired from the department store, joined a group called the Original Manga Group and was carrying out the tasks assigned to him there, but it was by no means smooth sailing.
To support Takashi, Nobu begs Tetsuko (Toda Keiko) to let her continue working as his secretary, but she tells him something he never expected. Seven years have passed since then, and there is still no sign that Takashi will become a successful manga artist.
One day, Ise Takuya Ise to the Yanai family with Rokuhara Eisuke and asked if they could work on the stage art for the musical "Look Up at the Stars at Night."
