Meisa Kuroki teams up with Kusanagi in "Ninkyo Helper"

from Tokyograph

Some details are now out about Tsuyoshi Kusanagi's new comedy series, "Ninkyo Helper," which starts filming this week. One major cast addition is Meisa Kuroki, who will take on the heroine role.

"Ninkyo Helper" stars Kusanagi as the boss of a yakuza group. As part of training, his group's parent organization orders all of its subordinate bosses to work as nursing helpers at an elderly institution. This includes Kusanagi, as well as Kuroki, a female yakuza boss who starts out as Kusanagi's rival.

Ken Matsudaira has been cast as the leader of the parent gang, and Yui Natsukawa has been cast as the director of the nursing organization. Kota Yabu (of Hey! Say! JUMP), Shunji Igarashi, and Jutta Yuki will appear as yakuza underlings, while Yusuke Yamamoto and Riisa Naka play helpers at the institution.

The show will air on Fuji TV on Thursdays at 10:00pm, starting in early July.

and Riisa Naka! I'm with you sireensilver , nothing could have compelled me to finish watching Hachi One Diver, but she caught my eye.  Jutta Yuki...the cute one from Mei-chan, right? I only know this because of Unleash the Geek, I didn't finish M-chan. (Not even Hiro's hotness or Osamu's evilness was enough. But now I have BECK to look forward to....)

Okay, this is going on The List.

wow thanks for the info!

looks like everyone from AtaDan is getting lined up for new dramas fast.

this is Yabu Kota's acting debut right?

definitely on my summer drama list (which has so few right now that i'm actually looking forward to watching).


i skimmed through Mei-chan no Shitsuji. After the first two episodes, I found it kind of pointless. Plus that horrible white wig on Mukai kind of killed it a bit for me. Also a lot of the actors/actresses from HanaKimi couldn't get me to finish it.
