Asadora"Bakebake" introduces Toki's relative, Ushimizu Fu

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 Ushimizu Fu, played by Shinichi Tsutsumi .

" 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."

Ushimizu was a relative of Toki. He was a high-ranking samurai and a distinguished aristocrat in the Matsue domain. He was a man of character known to everyone in Matsue, and in these changing times, he worked hard to reach out to many fallen samurai. He has loved his relative Toki since he was a child.

This will be Tsutsumi's first appearance in a Asadora in 11 years, since "Massan" (2014 second half).
