The seventh episode, "Son," of the popular detective drama "AIBOU Season 24" (TV Asahi, Wednesdays at 9 p.m.), starring Mizutani Yutaka and Terawaki Yasufumi, aired on November 26th, and guest Yano Masato became a hot topic.
Yano plays Kengo Nagate, a businessman who is the head of an organization endorsed by the government that "supports the weak." However, the organization is actually closed off, and the news of those who join disappears. The Special Investigation Team approaches the secret of the "utopia where people disappear."
Yano, who is active in a wide range of roles in stage, drama, and film, played the role of Ookuwagata Oger/Lacles Hasty in the 2023-2024 Super Sentai series "Ohsama Sentai King-Ohger."
Special effects fans responded to Yano's appearance, with comments such as "He's almost like King Lacles in the early days lol", "Lacles, who plotted the founding of an extremely evil nation", "Lacles (Yano) really suits dark and shady roles", "I love the way Yano's eyes lose light, he has something in common with Lacles", and "He was perfect for the role of Lacles, but his performance as Nagate this time is also brilliant", were posted one after another on social media. "Lacles" became a trending topic on X.
