One of my all-time favorite Japanese Detective Dramas of the 70s. An all-girl cop shop that pre-dated "Charlie's Angels" by a good 5 years. Almost like a "Pinky Violence" show for TV. During its run (4/7/1969 to 9/30/1974; 287 Episodes), a whopping twenty two (22) actresses were part of the プレイガール at one time or another. Most of the actresses were regular bit players of Nikkatsu and "Pinky Violence" Films. Some were also models, pinups and/or singers. Usually each episode featured no more than five of the girls at one time. Each episode would try to rotate the cast around but inevitably some of the actresses were featured more often than others, due to their popularity among audience members. Featured a number of familiar faces from Tokusatsu TV and "Pinky Violence" movies such as Katayama Yumiko (Giant Robo), Fuda Mimi (Battle Hawk), Oshida Reiko (Zubeko Bancho series), Watanabe Yayoi (Seijyu Gakuen), Hishimi Yuriko (Ultra Seven), Yashiro Machiko (Magma Taishi), Midori Mako (Mojyu) etc. Cast: - Togawa Masako (Makoto Masako) - Sawa Tamaki (Sawamura Tamaki) - Midori Mako (Ichijou Mako) - Oh Ran-Fan (Lan-Fan) - Kuwabara Yukiko (Hara Yukiko) - Mari Akemi (Hoshi Akemi) - Yashiro Masako (Godai Masako) - Han Bunjaku (Yuming Darowa) - Taka Mariko (Niwa Runako) - Oshida Reiko (Ota Reiko) - Nishio Mieko (Yamao Mieko) - Katayama Yumiko (Kataoka Yumiko) - Fukada Mimi (Tamura Mimi) - Ota Kiyomi (Ichijo Kiyomi) - Watanabe Yayoi (Tanabe Yayoi) - Miyazono Junko (Miyano Junko) - Yanami Eiko (Minami Eiko) - Hishimi Yuriko (Hishida Yuriko) - Azuma Michi (Higashida Michiko) - Obari Sanami (Kobari Sanami) - Natsuki Reina (Natsui Reina) Story: When mystery novelist and independently wealthy socialite Makoto Masako decides to start a business she settles upon a unique Insurance & Investigation Service. Recruiting a number of beautiful "thrill seeking" amateur detectives, and setting up shop in a fabulous Tokyo apartment/office Masako and company form the "PLAY GIRL(s)" as they affectionately call themselves. Masako and her "daughters" begin investigating various interesting cases and mysteries on behalf of their company's benefactors. While the bulk of their cases involve solving insurance scams, white collar crimes, fraud, white slavery, robbery and other assorted organized criminal ventures, some of their cases bordered on the bizarre and strange ( i.e. battling ghosts). During the course of their adventures "mother" Masako decides to travel the world and leaves the business in the trusted hands of her "eldest daughters" Tamaki and Masako. Several other "sisters" decide to leave the agency through the course of the series. To replace their ranks additional "sisters" are recruited to join, many "adopted" on some of their various assignments. 1969年4月7日-1974年9月30 東京12チャンネル/テレビ東京 キャスト戸川昌子　（天戸昌子） 沢たまき　（沢村たまき） 應蘭芳　（蘭芳 【ランファン】） 緑魔子　（一條マコ） 真理明美　（星明美） 桑原幸子　（原幸子） 八代万智子　（五代万智子） ハン・ザ・摩耶（范文雀）　（ユーミン・ダロワ） 高毬子　（庭ルナ子） 浜かおる （古城かおる/浜川かおる） 大信田礼子　（太田礼子） 西尾三枝子　（山尾三枝子） 片山由美子　（片岡由美子） 深田ミミ　（田村ミミ/深井ミミ/深沢ミミ） 太田きよみ　（一条きよみ） 渡辺やよい　（田辺やよい） 宮園純子　（宮野純子） 八並映子　（三波映子） ひし美ゆり子　（菱田ゆり子） 東三千　（東田みち子） 大堀早苗　（小堀早苗） 夏樹レナ　（夏井レナ） スタッフプロデューサー：吉野誠一、大久保忠幸、吉村晴夫、阿部征司、神山安平、岡哲男、近藤伯雄、東陽、山崎農平 脚本：伊上勝、島崎喜美男、押川国秋、船橋和郎、松田寛夫、山崎巌 監督：小林恒夫、竹本弘一、中川信夫、松浦健郎、島崎喜美男、井田探、伊賀山正光、加島昭 音楽：山下毅雄
