The NHK Asadora drama series "Kaze,Kaoru " (NHK General, Monday-Saturday 8:00 AM, etc.), starring Ai Mikami and Juri Kosaka , will begin airing on March 30th. This 114th Asadora is based on the story of two trained nurses (nurses formally trained in the Meiji era), Chika Ozeki and Masa Suzuki. Here, we introduce Yoshimasa Nakamura, played by Takashi Kobayashi.
Yoshimasa Nakamura was a former retainer who served Rin's father, Shin'emon. After being dismissed from the Ichinose family during the Meiji era, he became an official in Tochigi Prefecture. He continues to visit the Ichinose family frequently.
This will be Kobayashi's third appearance in a Asadora, following "Gegege no Nyobo" (first half of 2010) and "Natsuzora" (first half of 2019).
"Kaze,Kaoru" depicts the story of two nurses who graduated from the same nursing school, struggling and clashing with each other as they grow, eventually becoming the "ultimate buddy" duo. The script is written by Tomoko Yoshizawa, who has worked on a wide range of genres from comedies and family dramas to medical dramas and period dramas. The theme song is "Kaze to Machi" by the three-member band "Mrs. Green Apple". The music is composed by Yuji Nomi, and the narration is provided by Naoko Ken, who also plays the role of Maji, a mysterious and elusive fortune teller.
