Tokyograph News · 05-21-2007, 02:10 AM

It has been confirmed that teen actress Riko Narumi will be in the cast of NTV's summer drama series, "Juken no Kamisama." She will play the role of a genius junior high student, known as the "exam god" because every student she tutors passes the entrance exam to the school of his or her choice.

Her character, Michiko, possesses a cold personality and never even cracks a smile. For example, when the drama's protagonist Isamu (Tatsuya Yamaguchi of TOKIO) asks her to tutor his son, she demands he kneels before her. But over the course of the story, her interactions with Isamu and his son lead her to a change of heart.

The role of the son is still being auditioned for. The series starts in July, and filming will begin in early June.
