Meitantei no Okite (Shota Matsuda as the lead)






TV Asahi, Friday 11:15pm, premieres April 17

The original "Meitantei no Okite" is written by Naoki Prize-winning mystery writer Keigo Higashino, whose works have been turned into several hit dramas, including "Galileo" and "Ryusei no Kizuna." But in this series, Higashino applies his humor to the mystery genre, taking jabs at the shameful cliches and contradictions found in standard mysteries, such as locked-room murders, alibi tricks, and dying messages. Shota Matsuda stars as the so-called "famous detective" Daigoro Tenkaichi, while Yu Kashii takes on the lead female role as a rookie cop.
