Introducing Toki's grandfather, Kanemon Matsuno, from the Asadora"Bakebake "

The NHK Asadora drama series "Bakebake " (General TV, Monday to Saturday, 8:00 AM) starring Akari Takaishi will begin airing on September 29th. The story follows the heroine, who loves ghost stories, as she and her foreign husband go about their everyday lives. Here, we introduce Kanemon Matsuno, played by Fumiyo Kohinata .

" Bakebake" is the 113th morning Asadora. The heroine, Toki Matsuno, and her husband, Lefkada Heaven, are based on Setsu Koizumi, the daughter of a fallen samurai from Matsue, and Lafcadio Hearn(Yakumo Koizumi ). The drama boldly reconstructs the characters, changing some of the names of characters and organizations to create a fictional portrayal.

The story is not based on an original work, but is an original work by screenwriter Fujiki Mitsuhiko, who has worked on NHK's drama "Asagaya Sisters' Relaxed Life" and WOWOW's "Shooting Break Series." The music will be composed by Kensuke Ushio, who has also worked on TV anime " Dandadan" and "Orb: On the Movements of the Earth (Chi: Chikyu no Undo ni Tsuite). " The theme song has been decided to be "Waratta Korondari" by the male-female duo "Humbert Humbert."

Kanemon Matsuno is Toki's grandfather. A true samurai who lived through the end of the Edo period with vigor. Even in the Meiji era, he believed that it was up to him to protect the country, and he continued to wear a topknot and practice sword fighting as the "last samurai." He has a terrible weakness for Toki.

This will be Kohinata's first appearance in a Asadora in 10 years, since he played a pastry chef in "Mare" (first half of 2015), as he plays Kan'emon.
