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 for the final week (26th week), "Only Love and Courage Are Friends," which begins on September 22nd, teases the appearance of a new character, TV producer Takeyama Keizo (Maehara Akira).
Keizo Takeyama is a TV producer and a big fan of "Anpanman." He's visiting the Yanai family to propose an anime adaptation. Meanwhile, Renji Ishibashi, who has been the subject of much discussion for his appearance in the preview for the final week of the series, isn't listed on the character relationship chart.
Mano Goro (Irei Katata), the director of the musical "Kaiketsu Anpanman" which appeared in the previous week (week 25), comedian Hamabe Hirame (Hamano Kenta), who played the role of Anpanman, actor Furukawa Mamoru (Nishiyama Jun), who played the role of Yaruse Nakasu, and actor Komiya Mika (Satake Momoka), who played the role of Milka, have all disappeared.
There is one week left in the drama. In addition to Nobu ( Mio Imada) and Takashi (Takumi Kitamura), the names that have continued to appear on the character relationship chart since the first week are Hatako (Noriko Eguchi), Ranko (Yuumi Kawai Yumi), Meiko (Nanoka Hara), Tomiko (Nanako Matsushima), and Chiyoko (Naho Toda). They have "completed the series."
"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."
