Onna Joshu Naotara, starring Kou Shibasaki is a story of Naotara Ii (Shibasaki), the only daughter of the Totomi region lord who eventually becomes a lord because there were no more male successor due to the wars. Naotara faces a difficult period, but the constant love from her fiancé, whom she became engaged at a young age helps her to keep moving forward (plot source). Also starring in this dorama are ikemen actors Haruma Miura as Naochika Ii, Naotara’s fiancé and Issei Takahashi as Masatsugu Ono, their childhood friend.
