Previously, we reported that the TBS drama "Kinpachi Sensei", starring Takeda Tetsuya, would end its 32 years of history, and that the special drama, temporary�titled "Kinpachi Sensei Final", would be broadcasted in March.
Today, on February 4th, it was announced that Hey!Say! JUMP member, Okamoto Keito, has been chosen as one of the main students for the final. �Okamoto's role will be as the delinquent student who has transferred�to Kinpachi's class, and Kinpachi trying to reclaim him will be the central focus of the drama.
This will mark Okamoto's first appearance in a drama, and he has strong feelings for the show. �Why? �The reason is not only that many of his JE seniors have made appearances in the drama series, but also that his father, Okamoto Kenichi (actor), made an appearance as a student in a special episode which was broadcasted back in December 1985.
Okamoto commented, "I'm very honored to be able to appear in this great drama. �I will try my best without being�defeated�by the pressure and anxiety."
