Shuto Inomata of the popular eight-member group "timelesz" appeared in the second episode of the drama series "Papa to Chichi no Uchigohan" (TV Asahi, Saturdays at 11pm), which aired on October 11th. His blonde hair became a hot topic.
The drama is based on the manga of the same name (Shinchosha) by Toyoda Yu, who is known for "It Cherry Magic! Thirty Years of Virginity Can Make You a Wizard?!," and stars timeless member So Matsushima So and actor Shirasu Jin. It is a family drama about two single fathers, Sengoku Satoshi (played by Matsushima) and Harumi Masahiro (played by Shirasu), who live together and struggle to raise their children.
Inomata, who plays Akutsu Tatsuya, made his first appearance in episode 2. Towards the end of the episode, he was shown looking at a part-time job application email at a manga cafe. On social media, viewers commented, "Wait, wait, wait, blonde?!", "I almost screamed because I didn't realize he was blonde," "Isn't Shuuto too blonde?! His hair color is completely different from the one on the poster (lol)," "Shuto's surprise blonde is amazing," "Shuto-kun, what a huge surprise, thank you," and "His looks are so good I'm crying."
