Matsuda Shota stars in "parody mystery" series  

Posted by: Pori in , , ,

Actor Matsuda Shota has just picked up his first true lead role in a television drama. Titled "Meitantei no Okite," the show is based on a "parody mystery" work by award-winning author Keigo Higashino.

The original "Meitantei no Okite" is a short mystery collection that takes a humorous approach to many of the genre's cliches. Matsuda stars as the "famous detective" Daigoro Tenkaichi, while Kashii Yuu plays the female lead as a rookie cop. Kimura Yuichi has also been cast.

"Meitantei no Okite" will air on TV Asahi on Friday nights at 11:15pm, starting in April.
