The fifth 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 April 3rd, and Naoko Ken, who also serves as the narrator, made her first appearance as the mysterious and elusive fortune teller Maji, attracting the attention of viewers.
In the fifth episode, as Naomi (Uesaka) is walking down the street, Makaze, who has long blonde hair and a flashy appearance, calls out to her, "Excuse me, young lady. You're dressed strangely, clumsy with your hands, and a bad cook... an orphaned young lady."
When Naomi asked, "Do you know me?", Makaze introduced herself as a "fortune teller." Naomi replied, "I don't believe in fortune telling," but Makaze said, "You don't believe in gods or Buddhas either... Oh, I guess not in people either. Just be patient a little longer. Your wish will come true."
To this, Naomi responded, "So you're going to America?", to which Makaze replied, "You'll meet people you can laugh with from the bottom of your heart." Naomi retorted, "That doesn't make me happy at all," and walked away.
On social media, comments included: "His visuals were too striking," "He made a huge impact," "He has an incredible presence," "The Amabie of the Meiji era," "His character creation, which gives off a strong sense of reincarnation, is truly impressive," "As always, he's incredibly good at playing suspicious characters," and "I laughed so much."
