Seventeen model stars in next "Keitai Deka"

Tokyograph News · 05-25-2009, 08:56 AM

The popular BS-TBS drama franchise "Keitai Deka" has found its 7th generation heroine: 16-year-old Azusa Okamoto, a fashion model for SEVENTEEN magazine.

Okamoto's acting career was launched last year when she starred in the "Tokyo Shojo" drama series, also on BS-TBS (still known as BS-i at the time). Now she will be starring in "Keitai Deka Mei Zenigata" as the newest "cell phone detective," with her character's unique trait being a strong sense of sound. Okamoto will also bring her own saxophone skills to the drama, making her character even more special.

The "Keitai Deka" series has helped build the careers of several young actresses. The show started in 2002 with Aoi Miyazaki as the star, followed by Maki Horikita, Mei Kurokawa, Kaho, Saori Koide, and Aya Omasa.

"Keitai Deka Mei Zenigata" will air Saturday nights at 11:00pm, starting on July 4.

I wonder if this series will ever come to an end. No really. It seems to be endless. And Japan has an unlimited supply of cute schoolgirls to fill the Zenigata girls.
