This spring, TV Tokyo will broadcast a daytime drama series called “Mama wa Newhalf,” starring actor Noboru Kaneko. This is his first time playing the lead in a serial drama.
Kaneko plays a hard-working, elite salaryman who has suffered from a gender identity disorder since his youth. As a result, he spends his nights as a “newhalf” (transsexual) by the name of Luna, working as the number-one hostess at a nightclub. However, his life becomes even more complicated when he ends up taking in a five-year-old boy and having to fill the role of a parent.
