NHK's Asadora drama series "Kaze,Kaoru " (NHK General, Monday-Saturday 8:00 AM, etc.), starring Ai Mikami and Juri Kosaka , will introduce a new character, Yuki Shinonome, played by Tomomi Nakai, starting in the fifth week, "Tsudoishi Monotachi," which begins on April 27th.
Yuki Shinonome is the daughter of a viscount. Inspired by Florence Nightingale, she transferred from the Umeoka Girls' School, where she had been attending, to a nursing school. She is gentle and mild-mannered, but also possesses a dangerously pure nature.
This is the first time that Nakai, who plays Yuki, has appeared in a Asadora.
"Kaze,Kaoru" is the 114th morning Asadora. Based on the story of two trained nurses, Chika Ozeki and Masa Suzuki, who graduated from the same nursing school, the drama depicts how the two grow through their struggles and clashes with each other in how to interact with patients and doctors, and eventually become the "ultimate buddy" team. Mikami plays the main character, Rin Ichinose, and Uesaka plays the other main character, Naomi Oya.
In the fifth week, the first class of nursing students, all aiming to become trained nurses, have gathered: Rin (Mikami), Naomi (Uesaka), Tae (Ikuta Erika), Kiyo (Kikuchi Akiko), Yuki (Nakai Tomomi), Shinobu (Kigoshi Akira), and Tome (Harashima Rin), a diverse group of individuals with different ages and backgrounds. Dormitory life begins under the guidance of Principal Kajiwara (Ise Shima) and dormitory supervisor Matsui (Hyunri), but nursing classes have not yet begun because Ms. Burns (Emma Howard) is late in arriving in Japan.
Instead, a task is assigned during the journey to their destination... and that's how the story unfolds.
