Koike Eiko to be the lead for NHK drama "Hana Saku Ashita"

Koike Eiko will take on her first leading role in a NHK drama through the new series "Hana Saku Ashita" (Tomorrow when the flower blooms) which begins its run from 5 January at 10pm on Sundays. She plays the role a career woman from a family living in Kamakura City, Kanagawa Prefecture, whose mother (Natsuki Mari) left home 20 years ago to go to Italy and abandoned her husband and five children. When her mother suddenly returns to look for them, Koike's character clashes with her as she cannot understand why her mother left them and why she returned. Koike's siblings will be played by Mashima Hidekazu, Hoshino Mari, Yamada Yu and Takeda Kohei. Her love interests will be played by Suruga Taro and Yanagishita Tomo.
