The 43rd episode of the NHK Asadora drama series "Kaze,Kaoru " (NHK General, Monday-Saturday 8:00 AM, etc.), starring Ai Mikami and Juri Kosaka , aired on May 27th, and the appearance of Kosuke, the husband of nurse Fuyu (played by Tsubaki Nekozawa), played by Jiro of the comedy duo "Sissonne," became a hot topic among viewers.
Rin (Mikami) asks Fuyu, the nurse, to teach her how to assist in surgery, but Fuyu refuses, saying, "Only if you pay me." Still unwilling to give up, Rin bows to Fuyu again, but Fuyu reveals that she has sent her son, who is not yet 10 years old, to work as a servant, and that her husband, Kosuke, has injured his leg, forcing her to work as a nurse. She then raises her voice and says, "If this trained nurse thing is so wonderful, I wish you would take care of my husband!"
Naomi replied, "I understand. I'll take care of your husband," and later visited Fuyu's house with Rin. Kosuke greeted them with a calm demeanor, but he was rubbing his leg as if in pain. When Rin asked, "Does it hurt?", Kosuke explained, "It's not very good today because of the pain, but on good days I can even walk... It's just numb."
When Naomi heard the story and confirmed, "So you injured your hipbone," Kosuke replied admiringly, "I see. You two certainly seem to be more than just ordinary nurses," but Rin and Naomi were bothered by the word "more than just ordinary." When Rin asked, "You like books, don't you?", Kosuke gave a wry smile and said, "Just to pass the time. It's embarrassing to have my wife doing all the nursing..."
Kosuke says, "Even if you nurse me, my leg won't get any better now. Please leave," but Rin suggests they do something they don't usually have time for. When Rin suggests "washing his hair," Kosuke hesitates for a moment, saying, "No, that's..." but then thanks her, saying, "That would be a great help." When Naomi suggests, "Let's air out the futon and wash the pillows too," Kosuke hesitates for a moment, saying, "No..." before bowing his head and saying, "That would be a great help."
On social media, comments included: "Is he really going to be saved? Lol, I love Jiro-san so much lol," "The timing of 'I'm saved' is exquisite. As expected," "Jiro-san's acting skills are amazing," "Kosuke, as played by Jiro-san, is very nuanced," "His timing was hilarious and impressive!!," and "I have a feeling he's going to become my favorite character."
