The 68th 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 July 1st. In this episode, Kanta, the con artist played by Kisetsu Fujiwara, reappeared, attracting the attention of viewers.
Having decided on a new place to live, Mitsu (Mizuno Miki) suggests that Naomi (Uesaka) move in with her. Rin (Mikami) agrees, but Naomi is undecided.
One day, Rin came running into her house, out of breath, muttering, "There was a man following me..." Soon after, a man's voice knocked on the door, calling out, "Is this Ichinose's house?" When Naomi opened the door, she found Kanta standing there, sporting a beard, a hat, and Western-style clothing.
When Naomi led Kanta outside the house, he began by saying, "I found it in Atami... It's Urasaki Hachiman Shrine, right?" Kanta then told Naomi about the amulet she had had since her mother abandoned her, saying, "Apparently, it's a shrine known locally for prayers for safe childbirth. I also asked about a prostitute named Yunagi, but I couldn't find anything. I guess your parents probably wished for a safe delivery when you were born." He then asked, "If I find out anything about my mother, where should I go to ask?"
In response to Kanta's actions for Naomi's sake, comments on social media included "Kanta is so kind," "He's surprisingly a good guy," "Kanta is diligently searching for Yuunagi despite everything," and "I can't tell if he's a good guy or a bad guy." There were also comments about Fujiwara's performance as Kanta, such as "He's so incredibly melodramatic," "Fujiwara Kisetsu looked like a completely different person," and "He's such a good actor."
