This is Okura's first starring serial TV drama on commercial broadcasting, and also his first role as a doctor.
The drama is based on manga "Dr. DMAT ~Gareki no Shita no Hippocrates~", which is written by Takano Hiroshi and illustrated by Kikuchi Akio.
It depicts the activities of a Disaster Medical Assistance Team (DMAT) who tackle extreme situations such as a large-scale earthquake in Tokyo, tunnel accident, poisonous gas outbreak, landslides, and so on. The filming will be held under the cooperation of the Tokyo Fire Department.
Okura will be playing the protagonist named "Yakumo Hibiki", a physician and a member of DMAT.
As fellow DMAT members who work at the same "Arisugawa hospital" with the protagonist, Kato Ai, Ichikawa Mikako, Sato Jiro, and Aso Yumi will be making appearances. Hosshan and Kunimura Jun will also be part of the hospital staff members, and Takimoto Miori will play as the younger sister of the protagonist. Takaki Yuya (Hey! Say! JUMP) and Ishiguro Ken will be playing the members of the Tokyo Fire Department Hyper Rescue squads.
