Yoshida Yo to star in WOWOW Autumn 2016 drama "Cold Case ~ Shinjitsu no Tobira ~"

Yoshida Yo will be taking on her first leading role in a drama when she stars in the upcoming WOWOW Autumn 2016 drama "Cold Case ~ Shinjitsu no Tobira" which will begin its run from October. The drama which is the Japanese version of the popular US series and the 2nd commemorative drama for WOWOW's 25th anniversary, features Yoshida as Ishikawa Sayuri, a police detective in the Kanagawa Prefectural Police who works on unresolved cases with her colleagues.

Yoshida who is celebrating her 20th anniversary since her acting debut, revealed that she accepted the offer quickly and is very thankful for the chance to act in this drama. Although she last played a police detective in the TBS drama "Ouroboros ~ Kono ai koso Seigi", this drama would be different as she has to lead the cast. As part of the preparation for this drama, she also cut her hair in layers rather than the straight cut she has been sporting all this while.

Filming is currently in progress in Kanagawa Prefecture.
