Japanese drama about a Hebrew patriarch (4)
I believe the answer is:
noah
'hebrew patriarch' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'japanese drama about a' is the wordplay.
'japanese drama' becomes 'noh' (I've seen this before).
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'noh' enclosing 'a' is 'NOAH'.
(Other definitions for noah that I've seen before include "Hebrew patriarch who survived the Flood" , "Biblical shipbuilder" , "Webster?" , "Biblical patriarch" , "Oh, an ark man" .)
