It's been revealed that actress Nagasawa Masami will star in an upcoming WOWOW drama called 'Bunshin' (or 'Doppelg�nger').

'Bunshin' is based on a novel written by best-selling mystery author Higashino Keigo. Nagasawa will play a double role as 'Mariko', a female college student from Sapporo who doesn't know much about her past, and 'Futaba', a woman living in Tokyo who possesses the same features and body as Mariko.

The story will mostly follow Mariko, as she investigates the inconsistencies surrounding her birth. During her search, she encounters Futaba in Tokyo, who resembles Mariko in so many ways that it's almost like she's a long-lost twin, if not a doppelg�nger.

Mariko is determined to solve the mystery, but the closer she gets to the truth, the more people start to get into her way. Meanwhile, Futaba also begins to question her own existence.

Nagasawa commented, "It's a very interesting role. They both have different outfits and make-up, which helps me to realize who I'm playing right now. It's an interesting sensation and I hope I will be able to finish the filming without losing that."

Directed by Nagata Koto, the film will also star actors Katsuji Ryo, Usuda Asami, Suzuki Sawa, Tezuka Satomi, Ibu Masato, and Sano Shiro.

WOWOW will� broadcast 'Bunshin' every Sunday at 10:00 pm, starting from February 12th. There will be a total of five episodes.
