Yoshitaka, Oguri & Mizushima to star in getsu9 drama this fall
Big news for all Oguri Shun fans, the 26 years-old actor is going to have the starring role in Fuji TV’s next Monday-09pm dorama "Tokyo DOGS ~Worst and Best Partners~" that’s starting in October.
It’s the first time ever that Fuji TV is going to air an original police dorama in their most prestigious time slot for doramas. Oguri will play an elite cop from the New York Police Department, but as the title already suggest, he won’t be working alone. His partner who experienced a sudden rise from being a delinquent to being a detective at the police headquarter is going to be played by Mizushima Hiro (25), yet another very popular young ikemen actor. Fuji TV is already counting with quite some high ratings and there is no reason why they shouldn’t.
Let’s look at some more detailed infos about their roles. Oguri’s role is an elite detective at the NY Police Department who originally has been working in the military. However, at work he seems to be calm and serious and not able to make use of his flexibility. He is coming to Japan and will work together with the Japanese Metropolitan Police Department in a joint operation in order to bust some large-scale drug dealings that are happening at the moment. He is going to work together with a detective from the Special Investigation Division, played by Mizushima.
Mizushima is a martial expert who used to be a delinquent and in a biker gang himself. He has a really hot-blooded character with a lot of hobbies that even intensify his cool and strong image, an unusual new role for Mizushima. Those 2 different personalities will have no other choice but to work as partners which is going to cause some really interesting negotiations, not to mention that great "buddy vibe" that is hopefully going to attract a lot of viewers.
Oguri himself is already quite excited about this dorama, "With such amazing coactors, I can’t help but being excited right from the beginning." Mizushima too, "It’s my first Monday-09pm dorama and I can’t wait to show a totally new side of me."
With two amazing actors such as them, is there even room enough for a heroine role? Rest assured, no other than the quickly rising Yoshitaka Yuriko (21) is going to take up that challenge and will play a very important key figure to all the events taking place in the dorama. Yoshitaka is just as excited as the other male leads. "I'm so nervous and excited that I'm shivering right now. I'd like to take advantage of this nervousness and use it as an impulse to dash forward."
