Kanako Enomoto

Kintarō Yajima used to be the leader of a feared and respected biker gang, but out of respect for his late wife he chooses to straighten himself out and work as a salaryman so that he can support his son.

Kintaro Yajima comes to Tokyo and is hired by Yamato Construction Company when he saves the life of the company's CEO. A former leader of a motorcycle gang, Kintaro is known for his highly principled and forthright way of dealing with matters and is never afraid to tell his superiors exactly what he thinks. This has a tendency of irritating some; but when corruption from within the company begins to surface, he may be the only one who can stand up to it.

Iguana Girl is a manga by Moto Hagio published in Petit Flower. It was adapted into a television drama in 1996. It is about a young girl, Rika, whose mother views her as being ugly, and favours her other daughter, Mami. Rika thinks of herself as ugly and as an iguana, but after her mother's death, realises that her mother was also an ugly iguana. Iguana Girl reflects Hagio's own relationship with her mother, and it took her "years to write this story". Hagio saw an iguana in a documentary on television and identified with it, feeling it was "lamenting its failure to become a human, just like me".

Comedy drama.

Yuko (Kanako Enomoto), always dressed in flashy, trend-setting fashion, looks carefree and bold at first glance. But in reality, she has very few female friends. She especially can’t stand Setsuko (Sayaka Yamaguchi), a classmate at the same junior college, whose similar “fashion-forward” style feels like competition. However, after the two unexpectedly run into each other at a convenience store—both bare-faced and wearing track suits—they begin to open up, wondering they’re more alike than they thought. One day, they win a Saipan trip in a lottery and set off full of excitement… but things don’t quite go as planned. Based on a manga called "Ikeike! Baka Onna!" by Suzuki Yumiko.

This is a light-hearted, typical high-school "girl-has-crush-on-boy" type of drama. The main character, Otonashi Karen, was only used to gazing at her crush from a distance, until one day she misinterpreted his line while eavesdropping, turning her usual, timid self into a fancy "Barbie-doll" to attract his attention. The guy, of course, found her ridiculous and unbearable. Nevertheless, this drama traces the "fairy-tale-like" yet somehow sweet process of Karen's devotion to this guy. Each and every episode also shows how Karen's enthusiasm momentarily melts his heart, leaving him smiling with pure amusement, which indicates his growing fondness towards her.
