The story is about a Ministry of Education bureaucrat, Mikami (played by Matsuzaka), who is trying to change the Japanese education system, and is seconded to a private high school, Rintoku Gakuin. He takes to the podium himself, guiding 18-year-old high school students living in the Reiwa era, while standing up to authority.
"Kanzaki! Do you want to come over to my place today?" Jigen invites him. "Come in, come in!" he says, guiding Kanzaki (Daiken Okudaira Aju Makita ), who has secretly followed the two, sees the PC and figures in the room and asks, "Did Jigen put all of this together?"
"Yeah. To begin with, there are a lot of students from families with high fighting ability at our school. Academically, our family has zero fighting ability, but a genius was born there like a sudden mutation. So we're pretty loose with our purse strings!" Jigen puffed out his chest.
Airu's father, Yosuke, appeared in the drama series "GTO" (Kansai TV/Fuji TV) broadcast in 1998. He played the role of Kikuchi Yoshito, a student of Onizuka Eikichi (played by Sorimachi Takashi) who is adept at using computers, and on social media, people commented, " Airu Kubozuka as Mikami Sensei is just like Yosuke Kubozuka in GTO," and "He reminds me of Kubozuka's role in GTO!"
Yosuke played the role of Ando Takashi, nicknamed "King," in the drama "Ikebukuro West Gate Park (IWGP)" (TBS), which aired in 2000. On social media, he became a hot topic, with comments such as, " Airu Kubozuka reminded me of King from IWGP. They really are father and son," "His way of speaking is just like his father in IWGP," and "Maybe it's because of his role this time, but Airu Kubozuka reminds me of King from IWGP in some way. He has a good presence and fits the role well, so I like him."
