Ai Takabe gets first drama lead in “Guren Onna”

Ai Takabe will star in a television drama for the first time this winter, in TV Tokyo’s comedy series “Cosplay Yurei Guren Onna.”

The drama is based on the novel of the same name by Nobuyuki Joko. Takabe plays a high school teacher who has no friends due to her gloomy personality. Trying to find a reason for living, she spends her nights dressing up as the “guren-onna,” a fictional ghost, and terrifying other people. However, she begins running into actual ghosts.

Takabe’s makeup for the part of the “guren-onna” is said to take four hours to apply.

The series premieres on January 11, airing every Friday night at 12:12am.
