Saki Aibu (相武紗季）,25. has the lead role in an drama series called “Rebound,” airing spring on Wednesday nights at 10:00pm. The show will use special makeup to make Aibu’s character appear to be as heavy as 85 kilograms in weight.
Rebound is an original script by screenwriter Kazuhiko Yukawa, whose past dramas include Magerarenai Onna and Joou no Kyoushitsu.
Aibu plays Nobuko, the daughter of a tonkatsu shop owner who grew up on tonkatsu and cake.
