Goro Watabe

Japanese audiences are closely following NHK's new morning drama 'Blossom', starring Miu Kiryu as heroine Yano Tamaki. Only a week into broadcasting, the heroine already faces an arranged marriage proposal, with her father's motives—possibly cutting off her money transfers—shocking viewers. The cast, including Takako Matsu as Yuko Fujikawa and Goro Watabe as a controversially harsh father, is drawing heavy discussion online.
