"Mikami Sensei" is about Takashi Mikami (Matsuzaka), a bureaucrat in the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology who wants to change the Japanese education system. He is ordered to transfer to a private high school called Rintoku Gakuin. In reality, it was a demotion given to an elite bureaucrat, but Mikami believes that he cannot change the system even if he is on the side that creates it, so he should speak up from the field and destroy the system from within. He stands at the podium himself, guiding 18-year-old high school students living in the Reiwa era and confronting power... This is a "great reversal story of education revival."

The completely original series will be written by Shimori Roba, who will be teaming up with Matsuzaka for the first time since the film "The Journalist," and will be in charge of the script for a primetime drama series for the first time. Kazutaka Iida, who has been in charge of the popular Sunday Theatre series "Anti-Hero" (2024) and "VIVANT" (2023), will serve as producer.
