Japanese actress Tabe Mikako is adorable in just about everything she’s done whether it be starring in the latest Shakalabbits video or playing Prisoner of Zelda, and her performance as Yasuko Oki in the Masahiro Matsuoka drama YASUKO TO KENJI was no exception!
Tabe played the little sister Yasuko to big brother Kenji (Matsuoka) and the story followed the siblings as they dealt with the ups and downs of life including a romance for Yasuko (in the form of Kanjani8 ‘s Tadayoshi Okura) and Kenji (in the form of Hirosue Ryoko) all amidst the slapstick life of a former-gang-leader-turned-manga-artist in the WACKIEST drama yet! 
Besides all the usual cute stuff you’ve come to expect from Tabe Mikako in past dramas like Shikaotoko Aoniyoshi and Yamada Taro Monogatari, Yasuko to Kenji had this one HILARIOUS running gag in that the character of Yasuko was supposed to be extremely klutzy, especially when faced some daunting task (like talking to the boy she loves) and she inevitably trips herself up, flies across the screen, and lands face down on the ground, where she proclaims a silent “Ouch!”
This was SOOOO cute and funny, and I found myself waiting for the scene’s appearance in each upcoming episode, and one night I decided to go ahead and screen capture each of the “pratfalls” Tabe Mikako has performed throughout the series, though I’m pretty sure I still missed one or two!
