MARUSA (Tokyo Regional Tax Bureau)

Esumi Makiko will star in a drama that will be set inthe Tokyo Regional Taxation Bureau and similar to another drama that she was in...Esumi's division will solve cases that the other divisions are unable to handle.

[FUJI TV Synopsis]: Within the Tokyo Regional Taxation Bureau, a.k.a., "Marusa," there is a section called the Third Co-ordination Division. The mission of the members of this division is to detect both complex and shrewd forms of tax evasion, which the bureau is normally unable to uncover through normal tax inspection procedures. In this drama, "Marusa" investigates a Yakuza boss who's been making tons of money by running an illegal casino; an economic critic who is a famous tax reform crusader; a writer whose books constantly make the best-selling list; and a bank cashier who has the nickname "the professor of tax evasion techniques," although she doesn't actually commit tax evasion herself. In order to catch those that commit tax fraud, "Marusa" members have the authority to work "undercover." Through various investigation techniques, such as wearing disguises, wire tapping, and breaking into and searching the premises of suspected felons-all of which would normally be considered illegal-"Marusa" tries to bring the wrongdoings of criminals to light. The key person in this unit is a female inspector by the name of Kaneko Tsuburaya. Always carefully carrying out her mission step-by-step, Kaneko is the most powerful and sexiest heroine ever.
