Kei Tanaka, Kento Nagayama, Nobuaki Kaneko revealed to be in Mao Inoue’s “Ohisama”

A few more key cast members have been announced for NHK’s upcoming morning drama series “Ohisama,” which stars actress Mao Inoue (23). Although the inclusion of Kengo Kora (23) was already known last month, three more male characters were revealed for the first time: Kei Tanaka (26), Kento Nagayama (21), and Nobuaki Kaneko (29). None of the four men have appeared in an Asadora before, nor have they acted with Inoue before.

“Ohisama” stars Inoue as the cheerful Yoko, alive during the time of World War II. The show follows her life as she becomes a teacher, then later marries Kazuya, the son of a long-standing soba shop family (Kora).

Yoko’s two older brothers Haruki and Shigeki will be played by Tanaka and Nagayama, respectively. Kaneko will play Koichi, a friend of Haruki who also becomes Yoko’s first love.

“Ohisama” begins next year on March 28 and ends on September 24, airing Mondays through Saturdays at 8:00-8:15am for a total of 156 episodes.
