Actor Hiraoka Yuuta (24) has been given his first starring role in a dorama. He will play the doctor Mahigashi Teru in the TBS dorama "Godhand Teru" that is starting on April 11th.

The dorama is based on the popular manga by the same name that had been published in the "Weekly Shonen Magazine" in 2001. Mahigashi Teru is a surgeon just out of medical school who's starting to work in Yasuda Memorial Hospital that is full of excellent physicians. Most of the time Teru is your usual clumsy newbie doctor and people even start to wonder why he decided to become a doctor in the first place. However, when put into a critical situation where one mistake can make the difference between life and death, he never fails to save his patients. All his operations miraculously end in success and there never was a patient who died in his care. Is he really such a prodigy and what has his past have to do with it...?

Also appearing in the dorama are Mizukawa Asami (23), Murakawa Eri (21) and Kaname Jun (27).

On Monday, actress Shaku Yumiko (30) attended a PR event for Fuji TV's 4-episode evening dorama "Ketsuekigata Betsu Onna ga Kekkon suru Houhou~" (How to marry a woman with a different blood type~) in Tokyo. She appeared in a wedding dress and expressed her mind about marriage. "I'm 30 now and it's strange not to be married..."

The dorama itself is very unique with 4 actress of different blood types appearing each in one of the 4 episodes. Shaku Yumiko has the blood type B. "I thought that I would be able to meet a nice person someday, but in reality I've became really impatient by now." She really has the desire to marry anytime soon.

Actress Mizukawa Asami (25; blood type AB) will appear together with TOKIO's Joushima Shigeru (38). Joushima is just as serious as Shaku about that problem. "Next year I'll be 40. I don't think that you can call it an extravagant desire. I'm felling like 'Somebody help me!' all the time." The A-type will be represented by actress Katou Rosa (23) and the O-type by Kashii Yuu (22).

The 4 episodes will air from 02/23 to 02/26 at 11pm.
