The new Blue Walker in VIVANT season two is drawing attention beyond the drama. Sumire Hanaoka, who took over the role of Riho Ota from Ai Iinuma, posted off-shots on her Instagram on August 19. She asked followers how they are spending their summer, then shared photos from her day off: eating Betsupan red melon bread from a VIVANT collaboration with Kobe-ya, looking at a shark specimen at the National Museum of Nature and Science in Ueno, and playing with fireworks and a swing in a park.
Fans responded with comments about her cuteness and her relaxed, off-duty look. Some noted how different she seems from her character, calling the contrast a good thing.
