Horikita Maki will be playing a policewoman for the first time in one of the episodes of TBS summer 2014 drama "Oyaji no Senaka" (A Father's Back) which is due to begin its run from 13 July at 9pm on Sundays. The drama will be episodic in nature with one scriptwriter responsible for each episode featuring a different lead actor or actress.

Horikita will appear in one of the episodes written by Izumi Tsutomu and his wife Mega Tokiko (O.A. date not confirmed) where she plays a policewoman who gets told by her male childhood friend who is also a police officer that he wishes to stop being friends with her. Upon hearing this, her angry father played by Endo Kenichi will step in to help resolve the situation although he ends up being more of a hindrance. Horikita last appeared in Izumi and Mega's work "Nobuta wo Produce" 9 years ago which became her first shot to fame.

Filming begins in the beginning of July.
