Koji Yamamoto, Shintaro Morimoto (SixTONES), Yuki Kura, and Yu Kashiwagi (Cho Tokkyuu) have been confirmed to appear in the drama “Icy ~Momentary Memory Investigation Hiiragi-ban~” starring Haru (starting airing on January 21st).

In this work, Hizuki Hiiragi (Haru), a female detective with an instantaneous memory ability called “camera eye,” struggles to solve cases with detectives with quirks while facing a past that she cannot forget even if she wants to forget. This is a detective drama with a new sensation, and a completely original work by screenwriter Yuya Takahashi. Yuichi Sato, who has produced many popular dramas and movies, including the Netflix series “City Hunter” (2024), will be in charge.

The four people who have been chosen to appear on the show will be members of Team Hiiragi, the 3rd Enforcement Section 1 of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department’s First Investigative Division, of which Higetsu is the chief.

■“Hiiragi-ban”, which has a diverse cast from veterans to fresh young people, is now available
Kenjiro Tsuchiya, a languid police sergeant with excellent insight who is also responsible for organizing the Hiiragi squad, which is prone to conflicts, has recently been played in the movie “Kingdom” series (2023 and 2024), “Moshi Tokugawa Ieyasu”. When becomes Prime Minister” (2024), “ In addition to appearing in the Netflix series “Cells at Work!” (released December 13, 2024) and the Netflix series “The Ground Masters” (2024), he also starred as Mark in the Japan-U.S. joint Broadway musical “RENT” (2024). Koji Yamamoto is active in many fields. Tsuchiya, who obeys the clumsy and harsh Higetsu without any opposition, belongs to the Hiiragi group for a certain purpose.

Shintaro Morimoto, a member of the popular group SixTONES, plays Shogo Homura, a hot-blooded detective with a sincere personality and a tendency to break through in any situation. Recent works include “Namba MG5” (Fuji TV / 2022), “But Passionate” (Nippon TV / 2023), “Machiscape Irumasu Yatsura” (Nippon TV / 2024), He continues to appear in popular movies such as “G-Men” (2023) and “True Body” (currently being released in 2024). Homura, who has an old-fashioned idea of ​​“investigating with your feet,” is skeptical of Higetsu’s method of taking credit for his “camera eye,” and although he is his boss, he views Higetsu as a rival.

The role of Keisuke Kisara, a cyber detective who was formerly active at the SSBC (Criminal Department Investigation Support Analysis Center), will be played in 2021 after making his acting debut in “Trace ~Kasouken Otoko~” (2019/Fuji TV). Yuki Kura appeared in the NHK TV drama series “Ochoyan”. Recent works include “I want to punch that scum” (TBS / 2024), the movie “Akabane Kokotsu no Bodyguard”, and “Arrogance and Goodness” (2024). This is director Sato’s second work, following the currently released movie “Six Liars at University Students.” Kisara is a herbivorous detective who is confident in his intellect but not in his physical strength, and has an extraordinary aversion to violence.

Ritsu Mizue, whose father was the head of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, wanted to join the First Investigative Division in order to gain experience in the field, and joined the Hiragi Squad, will be played by Yu Kashiwagi of the main dancer and backing vocal group Chotonkyukyu. He made his debut as an actor in 2022, and the following year he played the lead role (*double lead role) in “You Can’t Reach” (TBS, 2023), and his first solo lead role in “Ghost Yankee” (MBS, 2023). He also appears in the Fuji TV drama “Billion x School” (July 2024). Mizue is a pure rookie detective who has a firm goal of catching criminals with her own hands and contributing to the clearance rate, rather than relying on her parents’ influence.

The members of the Hiragi Group surrounding Higetsu gather together, how will their hearts move, and how will the story develop?

Although it is a full-fledged detective drama that follows cases that reflect the times, it is also a human drama that carefully depicts the thoughts and human behavior of the police, as well as the backgrounds and growth of the detectives in the Hiragi Squad, making it a great drama for adults. This work is an entertainment work for adults that can be thoroughly enjoyed. Let’s look forward to the broadcast from 21:00 on January 21, 2025.

■Comment from Koji Yamamoto (Kenjiro Tsuchiya)
The last time I co-starred with Haru-san was when she was still in her infancy, so I’m really looking forward to working with her again this time. Personally, I love stories about people with special abilities, and I think everyone will enjoy them. I’m the oldest member of the Hiiragi group, so I want to build a good team by having fun while also valuing the nature and role of the role I play. We still don’t know how the story will progress, but that’s why we hope to approach filming with the feeling that we’re going on an adventure with everyone. Please look forward to it!

■Shintaro Morimoto (voice of Shogo Homura) Comments
Oh, it’s a detective drama! I thought. I’ve always loved detective dramas, so I’m really looking forward to it. Homura is a hot-blooded detective with an old-fashioned side, so I’m trying to portray him as a detective from the past. How Hyougetsu and his friends from the Hiragi group solve the case and how the story progresses…If you enjoy watching it, you’ll have a great time from January to March next year! We will do our best to bring you a drama that you can look forward to every Tuesday at 9pm!

■Yuki Kura (role of Keisuke Kisara) Comments
This is my first detective drama, so I was excited and excited at the same time! I’m also really looking forward to the development of the story, how the Hiiragi group, which was disorganized and lacked a sense of team, will change, and how Kisara, who I play, will grow. Right now, I’m researching a lot of things about the police that I didn’t know much about, and I’m learning from the basics. I will do my best to prepare my role well and make it a drama that everyone can enjoy.

■Yu Kashiwagi (role of Ritsu Mizue) Comments
I was surprised to receive the role of a detective! I think acting with all my co-stars will be a valuable experience for me, so I’ll do my best to absorb as much as I can and give my best. I would like to use my experience in group activities to play the role of Mizue, a hard worker. This work is a full-fledged detective drama, but I think it also depicts scenes that will give courage to the viewers, so I would be happy if you could feel those aspects while watching it.

■Producer Akane Yoshikawa Comment
The members of the Hiiragi group, led by Higetsu played by Haru, are a wonderful group of actors who shine in a variety of works! Mr. Yamamoto was able to play any role with charm, and I had hoped to work with him someday. Mr. Morimoto has emotional acting and the power to attract those around him. Mr. Kura is unique in his delicate and natural expressiveness. Mr. Kashiwagi is impressive with his fresh smile and sensitivity. The other day, when I saw the five members of the Hiiragi team together for the first time, I realized what a unique and exciting team they were! I was so excited.
A good sense of team has already been formed on the set, but what kind of team will they become as they sometimes clash and sometimes share pain, making things difficult? Please look forward to the activities of the Hiiragi group, which is full of individuality and charm!
