On February 27, it was announced that actor Hasegawa Hiroki will star in NTV�s serial drama �Kumo no Kaidan (tentative title)� which will begin airing in April.� The drama is based on the novel by Watanabe Junichi, who is known for his novel �Shitsurakuen�, and Hasegawa will star as the unlicensed doctor Aikawa Saburo.
This is the first NTV drama that Hasegawa will star in since he last appeared in the big hit drama �Kaseifu no Mita�.
The drama is set on a sparsely populated island in the Izu Islands.� The drama depicts the fate of Saburo as he provides medical care without a license to the island�s inhabitants as there are not enough doctors on the island and also follows the lives of two women who love Saburo.� The two women are�Suzuki Akiko, the clinic�s nurse, and Tasaka Akiko, the daughter of the director of a major hospital in Tokyo. The roles will be played by actresses Inamori Izumi and Kimura Fumino, respectively.� Additionally, Muraki, the head of the island�s clinic will be played by singer and actor Otomo Kohei, and Tasaka Yuichiro, Akiko�s father, will be played by actor Naito Takashi.� Actors Hagiwara Masato and Aoyagi Sho, and actress Kimura Midoriko will also appear in the drama.
Hasegawa spoke about his character Saburo: �(I) have gotten to this point only by luck (laugh.)� Saburo may have gotten to his position because of his environment (laugh.)� If you want to know whether or not Saburo is lucky or unlucky, please watch the drama.�
The drama will air every Wednesday at 10 PM on NTV starting April.
