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, Tome Kudo, played by Rin Harashima, starting in the fifth week, "Tsudoishi Monotachi," which begins on April 27th.
Tome Kudo is from Aomori Prefecture and is the youngest child of a wealthy farming family. She has the tenacity to overcome difficulties and is also a mood-maker.
This will be the first time that Harashima, who plays the role of Tome, will be appearing 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, has gathered: Rin (Mikami), Naomi (Uesaka), Tae (Ikuta Erika), Kiyo (Kikuchi Akiko), Yuki (Nakai Tomomi), Shinobu (Kigoshi Akira), and Tome (Harashima). They are a diverse group of individuals with varying 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 arriving in Japan.
Instead, a task is assigned during the journey to their destination... and that's how the story unfolds.
