The sixth episode of the Sunday Theatre drama " Mikami Sensei " (TBS, Sunday 9pm) starring actor Tori Matsuzaka was broadcast on February 23rd. Takaya Sakoda's character, Mizobata, the head teacher of the third year at Rintoku Gakuin, became a hot topic on social media, with people saying, "The flags of recklessness are rising one after another."

Mizobata was sitting across from Tsukada (Mitsuhiro Oikawa) and Nakaoka (Yasufumi Hayashi), both directors of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology's Bureau of General Education Policy, at a traditional Japanese restaurant.
Nakaoka began by saying, "That's a problem. When something like this happens, it means (Rintoku Gakuin's president) Kodai-san (Kazuki Kitamura) will be involved again," to which Tsukada retorted, "That's right. It's just when the Mayama Yumiharu (Mayu Hotta) incident was finally starting to die down."
When Nakaoka pointed out to Mizobata, "Could it be that (Kodai) is refusing to take part in the event involving former Chief Cabinet Secretary Higashi's grandson?" Mizobata replied, "Exactly. With the media hanging around the school, there's no way I could do it."
"That would be a problem," said Tsukada. Nakaoka added, "Are you sure? If you make Azuma angry, we don't know what will happen to next year's grant money."
As if persuaded by the two, Mizobata took over, saying, "I understand. I'll try to convince (Kodai) somehow."
Afterwards, Mizobata was reprimanded by Kodai, who said, "You went all the way to Tokyo and decided to ask me after all. Are you running an errand for a child?"
"But, next year's budget is coming up soon. I'm sure Chairman Kodai knows that Chief Cabinet Secretary Higashi has a tremendous influence on the budget," Mizobata said. Kodai ignored him, saying, "You have a face like a greedy dog, so people will take advantage of you." He continued, "If it turns out that this school is cheating, what will happen to the Rintoku brand that we have built up? Both Higashi and Tsukada want our brand. We need to let them know that it's not that easy to get."
When Mizobata left Kodai's room, he screamed "Haaaa" in a hushed voice. On social media, comments such as "It would be scary if Sakoda-san broke down~", "Sakoda-san... he really is going to do something. Expectations for him as a villain are too high. There is still a lot of mystery to him", "Mizobata-sensei, aka Sakoda-san, will live up to expectations lol", "Mizobata-sensei's 'Haaaaaa' is something only Sakoda-san can do, it makes me laugh", "I'm excited to see where Mizobata-sensei goes", "I just hope Mizobata-sensei doesn't get pushed any further and fall into the dark side", and "What is this unexpected combination. Tsukada, Nakaoka, Mizobata!" spread.
