"Naoki Hanzawa 2" is undoubtedly the hottest Japanese drama of the year, except for the starring Masato Sakai, who has high hopes, every role in this drama has attracted much attention, and the soul of these characters is given by the actors who play.
Seven years ago, "Naoki Hanzawa 1" brought a lot of actors to the fire, such as Kenichi Takito, who played Hanzawa's contemporary friend, and Aisuke Kataoka, who played Lady Kurosaki of the Financial Services Agency, and so on.
Being able to star in the sequel to this national big IP drama with a large number of actors is also a high recognition for the actors.
"Naoki Hanzawa 2" continues to gather a large number of middle-aged male actors with outstanding acting skills, and in the second half of the sequel that is being broadcast, an actress has also attracted the attention of many viewers, and after each episode is broadcast, the discussion about her is not lost to the male actor.
She is Tetsuko Eguchi, who plays Yashiko Shirai, minister of the Ministry of Land and Transport.
In each previous episode of "Naoki Hanzawa 2", Jun Budiya would receive comments that "Sakura Ando is really good", but in fact, it is not Sakura Ando who plays this role, it is Tokuko Eguchi. (The Japanese name is Eguchi のりこ, and the other translation is Eguchi Noriko)
It must be said that these two people are indeed very similar, so much so that every episode makes people admit mistakes. (BuYajun even saw comments that Zhou Dongyu also collided with her)
Tokuko Eguchi is not a particularly big actress, why did TBS choose her to play such an important role?
At first, Budiya Jun also had this question, but after watching her performance, he was completely impressed by her.
Yakiko Shirai, played by Tokuko Eguchi in the play, is the minister of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, and is a member of the Japanese cabinet and has great power.
Shirai is the heroine of the TV station, with a beautiful appearance and a lot of popularity in the public after she entered politics, And Hanzawa's wife Kohana is her fan and is also believed to become The first female prime minister of Japan.
In the story of rebuilding Imperial Air, she is the vanguard of "blocking Hanzawa", slashing and slashing with a strong wrist, and launching a fierce offensive and defensive battle with Hanzawa.
At the end of episode 4, he appears in a white suit, which is very stunning, and on the surface he smiles with ease, but in fact, he is also a fierce character, using state power to suppress and persecute Hanzawa everywhere.
In fact, in the three episodes, Eguchi Tokuko only appeared 9 times, but each time he was full of memories, which always triggered a hot discussion among netizens on Twitter.
The contemptuous look in Hanzawa's eyes when he first saw him, his condescending feeling to President Kamiya of Imperial Aviation, and the forced look in his eyes when he threatened President Nakano Watanabe fully reflected the arrogance, strength, and step-by-step of the character of Shirai.
Especially episode 7, the final duel between Shirai and Hanzawa.
From winning, arrogant, provocative, to surprised, decadent, and finally trembling, Tokuko Eguchi took the emotional mutation of Minister Shirai's roller coaster like a roller coaster in this episode, showing superb acting skills and extreme facial skills, once again making Japanese social networks boil.
And she condescendedly said to Hanzawa: "For the future of this country, what should you do?" should.... The Ming... white.... finish..... Right?"
Tokuko Eguchi's expression at this time was proud and arrogant, but also a flirtatious provocation word by word, and when Hanzawa replied decisively, "I don't understand", he was shocked and exchanged a look with Lawyer Nohara, and Tokuko Eguchi said in a tone that looked at the praying mantis blocking the car, "You are really funny."
It is widely believed that the role of Shirai is a synthesis of two characters in the real Japanese political arena.
The heroine broadcasts Lotus, who often appears in white, and the sentence "い.ま.じゃ.な.い" is what Lotus Fang said when questioning about this year's "go to travel" policy.
Another archetypal figure was Kiyomi Tsujimoto, the deputy minister of land, infrastructure and transport in 2009, who led japan's air redevelopment plan.
In short, Tokuko Eguchi perfectly plays the role of two strong women.
Tokuko Eguchi and Sakura Ando are not first-time beauties in appearance, but they both rely on solid acting skills to gain a foothold in the fiercely competitive Japanese showbiz, and the following Yajun will introduce this golden supporting actress who often shows her face in Japanese dramas, and she and Sakura Ando still have a little intersection.
Born in Hyogo Prefecture in 1980, Tokuko Eguchi is just 40 years old this year and has been an actress for 20 years.
Like Masato Sakai, she is also a "drama master" who is obsessed with drama, and when she was in junior high school, she had the idea of being an actor, studied drama problems, and after passing the examination of a troupe at the age of 19, she came from her hometown to Tokyo and began her career as an actor.
The day she joined the troupe coincided with her birthday, the troupe is called "Tokyo Dry Battery", and the creator is Akira Tsubasa, who is currently starring with her in "Naoki Hanzawa 2".
In his early years, Eguchi Tokuko often saw the figure of Akira Eguchi in film and television dramas, and he admired him very much, so he chose to join his troupe, and later Eguchi Tokuko said that she was very lucky to follow the right people.
When he first entered the troupe in his early years, while sending newspapers to make money, he followed the troupe to hone his acting skills, and often discussed with Shan Benming, so close that Shan Benming's wife doubted the relationship between the two.
Akira Tsunemoto personally brought out Tokuko Eguchi and cultivated her excellent acting skills of being introverted and working details. It can be said that Akira Akira is her mentor, and this time it is a master-apprentice performance, and it is the first time to perform together.
In particular, the eldest son of Akira Tsujimoto is married to Sakura Ando, who has a very peculiar connection with Tokuko Eguchi, and they also collaborated in the NHK special drama "My Name is Ono" in 2010.
After entering the film and television drama industry from the troupe, nowadays, we can often see the figure of Eguchi Indochina in Japanese dramas.
Buya Jun was deeply impressed by her "Jose and the Tiger and the Fish" in her early 20s, when she was handsome, thin, and had a very bold rivalry with her husband, Satoshi Mu.
Her acting skills are amazing, and Buya Jun believes that we must not forget the 2013 Japanese drama "Anonymous Poison".
Eguchi plays the person who made up lies to join the company because she was jealous and finally wanted to kill Ryoko's sister, and at that time thought that she had a face that played a bad woman professional household.
You may be more familiar with the serious colleague in "Proofreading Girl Etsuko Kono".
There is also the Chinese restaurant owner in last year's popular Japanese drama "I Leave Work on Time".
She played the boss lady Wang Dan can use Japanese or Chinese to say "this soup noodles that make you eat is delicious", and Eguchi's acting skills in this drama have received high praise both on the SNS network in China and Japan, "Too real!" "I love the role of this Chinese boss lady so much!" "The acting is too great!".
"Approximate Extramarital Love", "Obstetrician Hong bird 2", "Tomorrow's Mother Is Not There", "This can not be reimbursed! In dramas such as "Time Police", "What is Love", "Memoirs of a Ghost Trick", etc., today's Tokuko Eguchi, she has acted in more than 100 works, but all of them are supporting roles, in her own words, "If the scenes on the scene are calculated in seconds, I may have acted in a total of 4 films."
She is also a very humorous sister, but enough for her to be remembered by the audience.
This time acting in "Naoki Hanzawa 2", she has a higher degree of discussion, and there will be more works in the future, just launched the new drama "K2 Dangerous Duo" (starring Ryosuke Yamada), Andya Jun saw her figure.
Launched next month, "Remolove ~ Ordinary Love is a Cult ~" starring Bo Yao, Eguchi Tokuko will also star.
"In the future, I would like to try out male characters or playing musical instruments, but if I say so, I really will have such a commission." I'm sorry, I'm just talking casually, don't blow it up (laughs)" Eguchi said humorously about his future plans.
