Fuka Koshiba journey from Four Seasons of Drama to Agency Independence by Year’s End
Oscar's ace, starring in more than 10 commercials, starring in 4 consecutive dramas and a heroine, and set to star in a summer drama as well. Was she working too hard after all?
From the radio personality in Listen to the Waves (TV Asahi) who became famous for her rapid-fire talk, to the job change agent in Job Change Demon King (Fuji TV), the chef in Fermat’s Cooking (TBS), and the main consort of the shogun in Ooku (Fuji TV).
For four consecutive seasons, she has been the lead actress and female protagonist in dramas, and if you look at commercials, you’ll see her in over 10 companies including SMBC Mobit and Lunch Pack (Yamazaki Baking). Fuka Koshiba (27) is truly someone you can’t miss on TV.
At the time when it was announced that she will appear in next year’s Taiga drama Berabou: The Dream Story of Tatsuei Giga, and as the lead in the summer drama GO HOME: Missing Persons Consultation Office (NTV), shocking information about her was reported in FRIDAY magazine.
“Although she’s confirmed to appear in next year’s Taiga drama, Koshiba will leave her talent agency, Oscar Promotion, by the end of this year to become independent.”
The informant, who is close to Koshiba, is a close associate, stating, “Her independence is a top secret known only to a few within the agency, and we’ve generally reached an agreement,” the source continued.
