Mikami Sensei:[Student Introduction] Student number 3 "Ichihara Honami"Sayu Suzukawa A fluffy and unique voice actor otaku who belongs to the anime research club

The Sunday Theatre drama " Mikami Sensei " (TBS, Sunday 9pm) starring actor Tori Matsuzaka Tori will begin airing on January 19th. The drama will introduce the 29 unique students of class 2, year 3, of Rintoku Gakuin, where Mikami (Matsuzaka) is the homeroom teacher, in order of their attendance numbers. Here we will introduce Ichihara Honami ( Sayu Suzukawa), who is attendance number 3.

Ichihara has a unique, fluffy personality and gets along with everyone. Although she is in a liberal arts class, she is good at science and math, and often talks with Jigen Kenta (Kubota Airu) and Ihara Sora (Watanabe Iro). She is a voice actor otaku who belongs to the anime research club. In class, she is good friends with Kanamori Ema (Serizawa Hinari), Toda Sachiko (Hanaoka Sumire), and Enomoto Sakura (Nishimoto Marin).

Suzukikawa, who plays the role, commented, "It was a big goal of mine to appear in Sunday Theater, and I'm so happy to be chosen to play a regular role in a drama for the first time. Everyone brought their film cameras to the set and took pictures of each other. About two weeks after filming began, we already have over 1,000 photos in the album. It's a lively class that's full of energy. Every day is exciting, and we're working hard on the filming, savoring every moment. All the students in Class 3-2 have sparkling personalities and are all charming characters. I hope you'll pay attention to each student's facial expressions and gestures, and the way they listen seriously to Mikami Sensei's instructions."

"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, he was demoted, but Mikami himself takes to the podium and leads 18-year-old high school students living in the Reiwa era, standing up to authority... This is a "great reversal education revival story."

This completely original work 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 writing the script for a prime-time drama series for the first time. Kazutaka Iida, who has been in charge of popular Sunday Theater dramas such as "Anti-Hero" (2024) and "VIVANT" (2023), will serve as producer.
