It is indeed Kaho. She's about 5 years' younger than Ms. Ueno but it looks like she's heading for success too.

This concludes screen caps from episode 2. As you can see this episodes features Ms. Ueno's character, Hoshino Misae, heavily. The story was nearly exclusively about Misae. Apart from Toda Erika's characher, Hida Harumi, no other children in Kaze no Oka Home enjoys such coverage.

"Engine" Batch 21:

In about half an hour it will be Ms. Ueno's 20th birthday (Tokyo time). Allow me to be the first to say: �a�������߂łǂ�. All of you familiar with Japanese culture will know that the 20th birthday has a special significance - it is the coming of age for a Japanese. Ms. Ueno can now official consume alcohol, amongst other things.

I have admired Ms. Ueno's acting skills, and her looks certainly did nothing to diminish this admiration. On her birthday then I wish her every success in all her ventures, professional and personal, and that she's stay true to her calling as an artist of astounding performance skills.

I shall continue to collect her works - it is a shame that some of that are not available on DVD at all - and post screen caps. At least until I go flat broke or the forum administrator kicks me out.

If any of you wish to send Ms. Ueno a birthday message you can do so at the following site:
