A new character relationship chart for the NHK Asadora drama "Anpan " (General TV, Monday to Saturday 8:00 AM and other times), starring Mio Imada , has been released on the drama's official website. The chart, which begins on September 8th with the 24th week "The Birth of Anpanman," tea ceremony student Nakao Hoshiko (Furukawa Kotone) will be appearing as a new character.
Nakao Hoshiko is a student at a small tea ceremony class that Nobu (Imada) will be holding in his tea room at home. She quickly becomes captivated by the charm of Anpanman. The official website also introduced her as "Nakao Hoshiko will appear as a student at Nobu's tea ceremony class."
Sokichi Yamura(Sadao Abe), also known as "Yam-san," who returned in the previous week's 23rd week, "We Are Powerless, But...," will also remain. Meanwhile, Tokairin Akira (Tsuda Kenjiro), Nobu and Taka's former boss at Kenjiro Tsuda Shimpo, who was seen for the first time in a long while in the preview, is nowhere to be found on the character relationship chart. There are three weeks left in the drama, including the 24th week.
"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."
