Actress Rino Katase will make a guest appearance in the fourth episode of the popular detective drama "AIBOU Season 24" (TV Asahi, Wednesdays at 9 PM), which will air on November 5th. This will be her first appearance in "AIBOU," and she will play a "seductive woman" who charms everyone she meets.
The story begins with Ukyo (Yutaka Mizutani) enjoying dinner with Elizabeth Kumai (Katase), whom he met at a tea shop and hit it off with. However, just after parting ways with Elizabeth, an elderly man suddenly attacks him, yelling, "You're just messing around with her! Stop making her sad!"
The man is Yonemura (Yoshimitsu Hiroto), the president of a major telecommunications company. Feeling a sense of crisis due to his unusual behavior, Ukyo investigates Yonemura and Elizabeth together with Kaoru (Terawaki Yasufumi). Then, Elizabeth's secret comes to light.
This is Katase's first time acting alongside Mizutani. "Aibou is a series that everyone in Japan looks forward to every episode, and when I received the offer to appear in it, I couldn't help but look forward to the day filming would begin, opening the script every day. Elizabeth is a woman who lives her life by seeing herself reflected in the eyes of others. I played the role hoping to express her silence, talkativeness, and wavering heart," she said.
In response to the recent sudden change in the weather, he appealed, "We've suddenly skipped over autumn and winter has arrived. On nights like this, please enjoy 'AIBOU' while sipping a hot cup of tea."
