Plus Size Girl Power

1. Kanna-san
Japanese Drama - 2017, 10 episodes
I have issues with this drama and I feel like Naomi Watanabe deserved better BUT she shines in this, Kanna is a strong independent woman who has a career in the fashion industry, an amazing personal style and gets along great with other women.

2. MONSTERS
Japanese Drama - 2012, 8 episodes
Yanagihara Kanako plays Yamashita Tomohisa's girlfriend, she isn't treated as badly as one would expect from a jdrama and she's super cute.

3. Five Star Tourist
Japanese Drama - 2015, 12 episodes
This isn't the best character Naomi has been cast as, considering she gets to hide in a pretty bad wig and dull clothes, but the character is super interesting and she has her comback for disrespectful people.

4. Deka Wanko
Japanese Drama - 2011, 10 episodes
Naomi Watanabe plays Wanko's best friend and she's treated well, having male characters interested in her and everything, which you'd think isn't a big deal but that's just how terrible the jdrama industry is about female representaiton.

5. Nanase Futatabi
Japanese Drama - 2008, 10 episodes
Yanagihara Kanako plays Nanase's best friend and she could have a better role but I can't complain with how she was depicted, her style is also super nice and she's a great side-character.
