Yatabe Mineko from Hiyo-ko draws fresh attention in Japan
Original: 谷田部 みね子
Yatabe Mineko, the lead character of NHK's morning drama Hiyo-ko, is back in Japanese conversation. A column by actress Sato Hitomi, who played Takako, is drawing sympathy for her line that "there is no such thing as easy work," and viewers are relieved the drama's reruns have resumed safely after coverage of the US midterm elections.
Why now: A widely read column about the beloved drama character and news that its reruns have resumed are prompting fans to revisit the show.
