Actress Naomi Zaizen (44) has been given her first lead role in a television drama series in more than six years. In fact, she has not had a regular role in a series since NHK’s 2005 taiga drama “Yoshitsune.”
The drama is titled “Fake: Kyoto Bijutsu Jiken Emaki.” Set in Kyoto, the story revolves around a single, 40-year-old part-time university lecturer named Yu Urasawa (Zaizen). Although she is awkward in normal social situations, she possesses extraordinary judgment when it comes to understanding people in art-related contexts and determining the authenticity of historical works of art. With those skills, she is able to determine the truth behind various incidents that happen around her. Although Urasawa once worked overseas as an art curator, personal circumstances have led her back to Japan.
