Marumo no Okite (マルモのおきて, lit. Marumo's Rule) is a Japanese television series which premiered on Fuji TV on April 24, 2011.[1] This television series stars Sadao Abe as Mamoru Takagi, a public relations officer with a stationery company. It also stars child actor Fuku Suzuki and child actress Mana Ashida as Mamoru's late friend Jun-ichiro's twin children.
The television series was broadcast as part of the Fuji TV's Dramatic Sunday time slot, which airs every Sunday from 9 pm to 9:54 pm.
Plot
Mamoru Takagi's best friend, Jun-ichiro Sasakura, suddenly dies from cancer, leaving behind his twin children, Kaoru and Tomoki. The children's mother had abandoned them when they were young, and they had no other dependents left. The twins' relatives argue over who will take responsibility for them. In the end, the twins are separated. However, the twins are extremely close, and both run away from their respective foster families. Marumo manages to find them, and after a brief struggle to bring them back, Marumo gives in and agrees that the twins can stay with him. Along the way back, a dog, which has been following Tomoki, follows them back to Marumo's house.
Marumo has no parenting experience, but he makes a great parent. He manages to care for the twins, together with the help of his landlord and the landlord's daughter. Over time, they face many challenges, with Marumo trying hard to balance his time between his work and taking care of the twins.

Production
Marumo no Okite was first announced by Fuji TV on February 25, 2011.[3] Apparently the name "Marumo" comes from the children's mispronunciation of Mamoru's name.[3] "Okite" in this context means a promise or agreement in the Japanese language.
This television series will star actor Sadao Abe, child actor Fuku Suzuki, and child actress Mana Ashida.[4] Sadao Abe will play Mamoru Takagi, a single man who is an employee at a stationery maker.[4] He said that he had "suddenly become a father on Sunday nights" and that he looked forward to his role in this series.[4] Actress Mana Ashida previously made headlines in Japan for being the youngest lead star in a Japanese television drama when she starred in a NTV 2-hour long special, Sayonara Bokutachi no Youchien.[3] She is also noted for her role in the 2009 television series Mother.[3] This will be her first lead role in a Japanese television series.[4] Together with child actor Suzuki Fuku, they will play Mamoru's deceased friend's twin children.[4]
On April 4, 2011, it was announced that Mana Ashida and her co-star Fuku Suzuki would team up to produce tdrama's theme song in their debut as singers.[5] The duo will release the song under the temporary banner of Kaoru to Tomoki, Tamani Mook (薫と友樹、たまにムック, Kaoru to Tomoki, tama ni mukku).[6] This theme song will be entitled Maru Maru Mori Mori! (マル・マル・モリ・モリ!), and it will include sections where the talking dog, Mook, will sing.[6] The song takes its name from the fact that Ashida will play the character Kaoru, while Suzuki will play the character named Tomoki.[6] The Mook is from the talking dog's name.[6] Hamada Miwako, the choreographer for the hit song Gake no Ue no Ponyo was the song's choreographer.[6] The single album for the song Maru Maru Mori Mori! was released on May 25.[5]
In the last episode of Marumo no Okite, it was revealed that the show would have a special program but that the program's broadcast date was unconfirmed. Later, on September 2, Fuji TV announced that the program would be aired on October 9, 2011.[7]
Broadcast
Marumo no Okite was aired in the Fuji Television's Dramatic Sunday television drama time slot, which is aired on Sundays, 9pm to 9:54 pm.[1] The series debuted on April 24, 2011, and its first episode was extended by 20 minutes.[1] The seventh episode was extended by ten minutes.
The last episode of this series was extended by 30 minutes.[8] Before the airing of this episode, a special program entitled Naite Waratte 2-jikan Marumaru! Genki Mori Mori Special (泣いて笑って2時間マルマル!元気モリモリSP) was aired.[8] The program was hosted by the lead stars Mana Ashida and Fuku Suzuki.[8] The last episode also featured a special guest appearance by AKB48 member Atsuko Maeda, who would be starring as Mizuki Ashiya in the following television series Hanazakari no Kimitachi e -Ikemen Paradice-2011.[8]
On September 2, 2011, it was announced that the Marumo no Okite SP would air on October 9, 2011, at 9 pm on Fuji TV.[9] The show retained its main cast and was a two-hour long special program.[7]
