NOTE: This renzoku drama is broken up into different series. Years 1999 through 2002, the series was named Kasouken no Onna. The series technically ended as of the 2002 season, with a total of four seasons. In 2004, TV Asahi brought back the series as a whole new renzoku drama, called Shin Kasouken no Onna. 2004 season is identified as new season 1, although most people, including KIKU, identifies this as season 5. Starting with 2009, the series title returned to Kasouken no Onna, usually distinguished by the year of broadcast (e.g. Kasouken no Onna 2009).
