Masato Yano, known for his role as Ookuwagata Oger/Lacles Hasty in the Super Sentai series "Ohsama Sentai King-Ohger," will appear in the 16th episode, "Farewell Gennai, the View is Horai" (broadcast on April 20th), of the NHK Ryusei Yokohama drama "UNBOUND (Berabou)" (General TV, Sunday 8pm and others), starring Ryusei Yokohama.
This will be Yano's first time in a taiga drama since "Kirin ga Kuru" which aired in 2020. In the previous drama, he played Toki Yorizumi, the first husband of Kicho (Haruna Kawaguchi), and the scene in which he was poisoned to death by Saito Dosan (Masahiro Motoki) became a hot topic.
He will appear in the 16th episode of "UNBOUND" as Jouemon. A photo of him in costume has also been released.
"UNBOUND (Berabou)" is the 64th taiga drama, depicting the life of Tsutaya Juzaburo(or "Tsutajyu" for short), who is said to have built the foundations of Japan's media industry and pop culture. The script was written by Yoshiko Morishita, known for "Drama 10 'Ooku'" which was broadcast on NHK two years ago and became a big hit.
