And here is information on her character in the upcoming Taiga drama.
Quote:
Matsuda Seiko as Gion Nyogo
Emperor Shirakawa’s beloved concubine. A former dancing girl. Having been at his side for a long time, she sees the imperial family and aristocracy from this perspective and anticipates a huge change in the workings of the nation in the near future. She has her sights on Taira no Tadamori’s heroism when she pushes him to raise Maiko’s son, Kiyomori, as his own. After that, she leaves the capital, changes her name to Otsumae and leads a quiet life as an accomplished music and dance performer. At the invitation of the new Emperor, Go-Shirakawa, she returns to Kyoto as a teacher of songs in Heian poetry style and also meets Kiyomori again. She becomes a confidant to Kiyomori and Go-Shirakawa when they are in doubt or lonely.
