It was recently announced that actor Sawamura Ikki is going to reprise his role as a super doctor in the second season and special of the hit drama 'DOCTORS ~Saikyou no Meii~' that aired on TV Asahi in 2011.

The drama is written by Fukuda Yasushi ('Galileo', 'Ryomaden') and portrays the shocking current state of a medical system that has long abandoned its actual mission of saving people. It's set at the Dogami General Hospital, which has run into financial difficulties. 'Sagara Kosuke'(Sawamura) is a heartless and incredibly skilled surgeon who hasn't yet lost sight of his mission as a doctor. In his own way, he tries his best to reform the hospital and to get his colleagues back on the right path.

On the June 1st special episode, the hospital was threatened by a huge organization and university hospital. Other recurring characters include Takashima Masanobu as the surgeon 'Moriyama Suguru', Ito Ran as the internist 'Minagawa Kazue', Higa Manami as the nurse 'Miyabe Sachi', and Nogiwa Yoko as the hospital director 'Dogami Tamaki'. 

'DOCTORS 2 ~Saikyou no Meii~' is going to air every Thursday at 9:00 pm starting in July.
