We've seen quite a lot of dramas with a female detective in the leading role. Numerous actresses already gained a stab at such roles, with some of them transforming into a detective for the first time in their careers.

Unfortunately, some of the younger actresses weren't exactly 100% convincing in their roles, which also becomes clear when looking at the most recent survey held by 'escala cafe'.

'escala cafe' is an Internet portal and community for working women in Japan. They often conduct survey on various topics, and this weekend they released the results of a survey that asked women which actresses are most suited to play the role of� detective.

More than 300 women (22~34 years old) participated in the poll and crowned a clear winner. The result isn't very surprising, but it once again shows that you need to have a more mature and strong image to be convincing as a detective.
