Mukai Osamu and Ayano Go to star in TBS Winter 2014 drama "S - Saigo no Keisatsukan"

Mukai Osamu will be starring in the TBS Winter 2014 drama "S - Saigo no Keisatsukan" which will begin its run from January 2014 and will work with Ayano Go for the first time in this drama based on the same-titled manga. Mukai plays the role of Kamikura Ichigo, a retired pro boxer who joins the National Police Agency's Special Assault Team (SAT) as a sergeant. Kamikura boasts of great physical abilities and uses his bare punches to overcome the criminals. On the other hand, Ayano plays the role of Soga Iori who is the No.1 sniper in SAT and is cool, can concentrate well and has great observation skills. Being pole opposites, Kamikura and Soga will be at loggerheads in the drama.

Mukai commented that as this is his first police officer role and that he has many action scenes, he has been going to the gym to learn boxing in preparation for his role. He expressed hope that this drama will be as popular as the current season's hit "Hanzawa Naoki" which is talked about widely in schools and companies on the day after each episode's broadcast. As for Ayano, he said that Soga is a truly attractive role and feels that this character will probably bring some effects to himself even after it ends. As Mukai and Ayano are of the same age, they both expressed anticipation at being able to work together for the next few months.
