It has been announced that actors Miu Tomita, Taketo Tanaka, and TikToker and cosplayer Akari Akase will appear in the seventh installment of "Doctor Y: Surgeon Hideki Kaji," starring Masanobu Katsumura, a spinoff of the popular medical drama series "Doctor X: Surgeon Michiko Daimon" (TV Asahi), starring Ryoko Yonekura. Tomita will play Aya, the beloved daughter of popular "Doctor X" character Kei Ebina (Kenichi Endo).
In "Doctor X," it was said that Aya was a daughter aiming for medical school, but this is the first time she has been seen. It turns out that she has successfully made it into her dream medical school, and she begins her clinical training at Totei University Hospital, where her father works, with the pure desire to "help patients." The heartwarming story of the Ebina family is also a highlight of this episode.
Tanaka will play the "party-loving medical student" Junya Nakamura. Junya, who aspires to be an internal medicine doctor in order to take over his parents' clinic that opened in a prime location in Tokyo, is a rich kid with an unusually light-hearted personality. Junya's reckless actions develop into a "big commotion that shakes the prestige of Totei University Hospital."
Akase, who appeared as herself in the seventh series of "Doctor X" (2021), will appear this time as Riko Koishikawa, an ultra-realistic medical student aspiring to become a plastic surgeon. Kaji Hideki (Katsumura) will face medical students who are completely different in terms of their personalities, motivations, and ways of dealing with medicine.
The protagonist of "Doctor Y" is Kaji Hideki, a surgeon who is so skilled that he is revered as the "laparoscopy magician," but who likes to be in a group, loves money, and has some regrets as a person. In the second series (2017), Kaji was caught up in a ghost scandal, and in the third series (2018), he suffered a major defeat in the professor election. After that, he was forced into many difficult situations such as a secret child scandal and a surgical mistake, but he has risen like a phoenix many times. However, this time, he falls into debt hell. It will be broadcast from 9:00 pm to 10:54 pm on November 30th.
To commemorate the release of the movie "Doctor X: Final Movie" (directed by Tamura Naoki, released on December 6th), which will be the final film in the series, it was also announced that "Doctor X: Surgeon Daimon Michiko Special", which was broadcast in July 2016, will be broadcast from 8:00 pm to 9:54 pm on December 6th. The show attracted attention as it featured Beat Takeshi and Inoo Kei of "Hey! Say! JUMP".
