Actress Aiko Ito has been selected to play the heroine in Fuji TV's upcoming drama series, "Aishuu no Romera." Ito is perhaps best known for her role as Abare Yellow in the TV show "Bakuryuu Sentai Abaranger," though she has also had plenty of dramatic roles and variety show appearances.

In "Aishuu no Romera," Ito plays Tamaki Nanase, a woman who falls in love with the son of a hospital director, with whom her mother previously had an affair. But when she discovers that the director is the reason her mother committed suicide, she casts aside her feelings of love and becomes filled with hatred and a desire for revenge.

Actor Tsuyoshi Ujiki has also been cast in the drama. The show will run in Fuji TV's 1:30pm afternoon slot on weekdays, starting on September 29.
