Tachibana Tamako, also known as Maya, is a seasoned member of the Criminal Investigation division within the Kyoto Prefectural Police. She has a reputation for being a devoted enthusiast of maps and possesses an unparalleled knowledge of every corner of Kyoto that can be depicted on a map. Her exceptional talent as a "human GPS" is utilized by the police in creating meticulous investigation maps that are capable of debunking any false alibis. Despite her invaluable skills, there are instances when Tamako is absent from a crime scene because she has stumbled upon a location that has yet to be documented on a map. Surprisingly, this marks Maya's debut in a television drama series. With the captivating setting of Kyoto, there are compelling reasons to tune in to "Sousa Chizu no Onna" this autumn.
