A woman walks up a gentle slope in a residential area with a serious expression. She is actress Yuina Kuroshima (29).

In late February, filming was taking place in a residential area of Shibuya Ward for the April drama Mikaiketsu no Onna: Keishichō Bunsho Sōsakan Season 3 (TV Asahi), starring Kyōka Suzuki (57).

“This drama is based on Kazufumi Asami’s original novel Keishichō Bunsho Sōsakan, which first aired in April 2018, followed by Season 2 in August 2020. Haru (34) played the lead. Suzuki has appeared since Season 1 as police officer Risa Narumi of the Sixth Division, a document analysis expert known as the Witch of the Warehouse.

Season 3, returning after six years, is set after the detective played by Haru has been transferred. Narumi’s new superior is Hinako Mutsu, a career officer in the National Police Agency who values fulfillment over promotion. Hinako volunteered to become the new section chief, and she and Narumi team up as a buddy to solve difficult cases,” said a TV magazine writer.

Filming took place on the grounds of a shrine. After wrapping up, Kuroshima emerged with a blunt bangs hairstyle, wearing a black hoodie and green pants. While some staff chatted casually after filming, she continued walking with her expression unchanged, seemingly still in character.

Kuroshima gave birth to her first child in July 2024 with her partner, actor Hio Miyazawa (31). Regarding this project, which marks Kuroshima’s first co-starring with Suzuki in six years since Gyōretsu no Megami: Ramen Saiyūki (TV Tokyo), Suzuki commented:

“She is truly dedicated and never spares effort. I’m so happy to work with her again after such a long time. Now that she has a child, I feel like I can experience a slightly different side of Kuroshima-san, and I’m really looking forward to it.” (From the drama’s official website)

Meanwhile, Kuroshima shared her impression of Suzuki:

“Kyōka-san is an incredibly cool woman! At the same time, when we last worked together, I glimpsed her very natural and charming side, and I thought, ‘Wow!? She’s so cute!’ which made me happy.”

Regarding her first role as a detective, she added:

“I plan to approach the role by showing a more active side and changing my bangs visually, making it different from my usual look.”

With this new hairstyle, it will be exciting to see what kind of buddy duo Kuroshima and Suzuki will present.
