As part of the currently running Japan International Contents Festival (CoFesta), organizers are holding the 2nd International Drama Festival on October 22-24. This year, the event is introducing the first Tokyo Drama Awards, and the winners were announced during a press conference held on Thursday.

The grand prize was awarded to two dramas, "Pandora" and "Ten to Sen" ("Points and Lines"). "Pandora" aired on WOWOW this spring, starring Hiroshi Mikami as a doctor embroiled in a political war after he discovers a cure for cancer. The two-episode drama "Ten to Sen," which aired on TV Asahi last November, was based on a Seicho Matsumoto mystery novel and starred Beat Takeshi.

In the kids and youth category, the award went to TV Tokyo's "Keitai Sousakan 7" and Fuji TV's "Last Friends." NTV's "Saito-san" won in the family category.

The other winners were "Atsuhime" (jidaigeki category) and "SP" ("non-genre" category). Special awards were given to the art staff of "Ten to Sen" and to actor Tetsuya Takeda and the staff of "3 Nen B Gumi Kinpachi Sensei."

The award presentation ceremony will be held on the 22nd.
