It has been revealed that actress Kiritani Mirei will make an appearance in TV Asahi's upcoming drama "Shinigami-kun" starring Arashi's Ohno Satoshi.

The drama is a live-action adaptation of Endo Koichi's manga of the same name, and the story revolves around a rookie reaper "Shinigami-kun" played by Ohno. 

Shinigami-kun's job is to pronounce death to expected people, and to take their souls to the spiritual world.

Kiritani's role is a watcher incarnated as a raven in the human world. With her wicked tongue, she recklessly denounces Shinigami-kun's job performance.

Other cast members include Suda Masaki and Matsushige Yutaka. Suda plays a devil, the rival of Shinigami-kun, while Matsushige plays as the chief that manages the reapers.

It was also revealed that the guests in the first episode will be Ohara Sakurako, Takada Riho, and Watanabe Shu.

"Shinigami-kun" will air starting on April 18 on TV Asahi (every Friday at 11:15 pm).
