The 46th installment of the Tora-san series, Tora's Matchmaker (1993), finds Tora (Kiyoshi Atsumi) going after his nephew Mitsuo (Hidetaka Yoshioka) after he runs off due to his stress caused from job hunting. The shushoku (job hunting) process is fraught with frustration-Mistuo has had 30 interviews and no job offers, so he's frustrated and runs off to Takamatsu on Shikoku Island for no particular reason other than to put some distance between himself and the job hunting in Tokyo. he ends up on a mall island, Kotojima, working to help out the local elderly population and falls for a lively young nurse who works there, Aya (Mikako Shiroyama). Mitsuo is staying with an old sea captain and his daughter Yoko (Keiko Matsuzaka). Tora is sent after Mitsuo and ends up staying for about a week before they both leave-Mitsuo back home and Tora back on the road.
