A while ago, Fuji TV released a trailer for the much-anticipated upcoming drama, "Diplomat - Kuroda Kosaku", the drama adaption of the 2009 hit movie, "Amalfi Megami no Hoshu".

Oda Yuji is back again in the role of Kuroda Kosaku, a diplomat of the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs focusing on protecting fellow countrymen from terrorism. His new partner, a female detective, will be played by Shibasaki Kou. She's a "map otaku", which means that she is obsessed with maps of all kinds and has an amazing ability of narrowing down the location of the criminals with the help of maps. In the drama, we are also going to explore the past of Oda Yuji's character.

The drama didn't carry on the title of the movie, mainly because it isn't set in Amalfi, Italy anymore. Instead, the story is going to lead us to Japan, America (San Francisco), and Mexico.

"Diplomat - Kuroda Kosaku" is also going to feature Kagawa Teruyuki, Kaho, Konno Mahiru, Nishijima Takahiro (AAA), and South Korean actor Lee Byung Hun as an American detective.

The first episode is going to be two hours long and it will air on January 13th, 2011.
