Actress Naka Riisa revealed at the press conference for her upcoming drama 'Resident ~ 5-nin no Kenshui' (TBS) that she decided to cut her hair instead of wearing a wig. She's one of many actresses who recently decided to go for a short hairstyle.

The press conference was held at the TBS studio in Kanagawa on October 2. The drama focuses on the problems of five medical interns played by Naka, Hayashi Kento, Masuda Takahisa, Omasa Aya, and Ishibashi Anna.

In order to portray her character more convincingly, Naka decided to shorten her long hair by no less than 30cm (~11"). She revealed, "The staff was coming up with ideas that could avoid me having to cut my hair, but none of them were convincing enough for me."

With the blue uniform and the fresh new hair cut, Naka truly looks like a young doctor. She commented, "Every day we are filming, I always realize how important it is to value people's lives and your comrades." However, she seems to be much more carefree and blunt on set than her character would make us believe.

Furuta Arata expressed, "The one that doesn't seem like a doctor among those who play medical interns? That's Riisa for sure. She always seems to be having fun." Ozawa Yukiyoshi added, "Riisa is always dancing around..."

Despite being such a bright and positive person herself, she named Masuda as the mood maker among the five young actors, who commented, "We'll work hard in order to make this our personal masterpiece." Hayashi explained, "Everyone is so cheerful that even some who are fearful of strangers like me have no problems connecting with the others. It's a really great group of five we got here."

Omasa stated, "I hope you can see me develop as a medical intern," and Ishibashi added, "I checked all of the medical terms on my PC, and I already feel like I'm a real medical intern myself."

The rest of the supporting cast includes�Sudo Risa, Arakawa Yoshiyoshi, Mitsuura Yasuko, Minagawa Sarutoki, and Terajima Susumu.

The first episode of 'Resident ~ 5-nin no Kenshui' is scheduled to air on October 18.
