posted on by Rafael Antonio Pineda
The official website for the live-action television series of Hiroyuki Nishimori's Kyō kara Ore wa!! gag comedy manga revealed additional cast members for the series on Thursday. The additional cast includes:
Kentarō as Shinji Itō, Mitsuhashi's partner
Taiga as Katsutoshi Imai
Yūma Yamamoto as Yasuo Tanigawa
The third round of cast members will be announced on April 12.
The previously announced cast includes:
Kento Kaku as Takashi Mitsuhashi
The series will premiere in NTV's Nichiyō Drama time slot in October. It marks the first live-action adaptation for the manga in about 21 years.
Yūichi Fukuda (live-action Gintama, HK/Hentai Kamen, Super Salaryman Mr. Saenai) is directing the series. Fukuda previously worked with Kaku on the live-action television series Yūsha Yoshihiko to Maō no Shiro. Fukuda directed the series, and Kaku played a policeman in the 11th episode.
The manga's story centers on the blond delinquent high school student Takashi Mitsuhashi. He is sly and holds "Whatever I do, I'll win!" as his creed. He forms a duo with Shinji Itō, a fellow high school student who is serious and dutiful with a strong sense of justice.
Nishimori's series ran in Shogakukan's Zōkan Shonen Sunday and Weekly Shonen Sunday magazines from 1988 to 1997. The series' 38 compiled book volumes have a total of more than 40 million copies in print.
The manga inspired an original video anime series in 1992, and Toei released a V-Cinema direct-to-video live-action series inspired by the manga from 1992 to 1997. The V-Cinema series' cast and staff also reprised their roles for a live-action film adaptation that debuted in 1994.
