Since the age of 7, when her parents died, Kumiko has been living with her grandfather, who is the head of an influential Tokyo Ninkyo group. She is very idealistic and wants to inspire her students and help them graduate high school. Though she is forced to keep her family a secret from the public, her yakuza upbringing gives her the strength and the experience to reach out to her students, while also providing comedic situations.Ĭharacters Kumiko 'Yankumi' Yamaguchi ( 山口久美子, Yamaguchi Kumiko) Voiced by: Risa Hayamizu (Japanese) Caroline Lawson (English) Portrayed by: Yukie Nakama, Suzuka Ohgo (young, season 1) Kumiko is a 23-year-old university graduate and is newly hired at Shirokin Gakuen. Her class is full of delinquents, but she tries her hardest to teach them not just academically, but about lessons of life. Kumiko becomes home teacher of class 4-2 in mathematics at an all-boys private high school, where she is known as 'Yankumi'. While her grandfather approves of her choice, others in the family want her to become the next boss. However, her lifelong dream has been to become a teacher.

Her parents died when she was at the age of seven, and her grandfather had no other descendants, so Kumiko is next in line to head the family business with the title of ' ojō' ( お嬢, 'young lady'). For those of you who have seen the first season - you won't be disappointed with this one.Kumiko Yamaguchi is the granddaughter of a yakuza boss, Kuroda of the Kuroda Ikka. Overall - I enjoyed it just as much as the first season.

I can see myself rewatching this drama sometime, but probably not for a long time. I loved Kamenashi Kazuya's 'Kizuna' that was played during the drama, though (: The music wasn't anything special - the theme song changed from 'Feel Your Breeze' to 'No More Cry' at the end which wasn't a bad song. The acting was great, I loved the entire cast! For those who've seen the first Gokusen you'll find familiar faces also among the cast - and a return of Kuma! One of my favorites from the first season, I was happy to see him return in Gokusen 2!

While the original Gokusen had popular names such as Matsumoto Jun and Oguri Shun, Gokusen 2 has Kamenashi Kazuya, Akanishi Jin, Hayami Mokomichi, and Koike Teppei. While the story is quite similar to the first season - it's a whole new group of students and therefore new stories, new problems. One this is for sure - you don't have to watch this series in order. But I was surprised and found myself actually enjoying this one just as much if not more. Rewatch Value 8.0 After watching the first season I wasn't sure how I'd like this one.
