Kamikawa Takaya & Shibata Kyohei in WOWOW drama "Lady Joker"

Kamikawa Takaya and Shibata Kyohei will be starring in the new WOWOW drama "Lady Joker" which is due to begin its run from 3 March at 10pm on Sundays as revealed during the completion announcement press conference on 31 January in Ginza at the Jiji Tsuushin Hall. The story is based on the novel by Takamura Kaoru where Shibata plays Shiroyama Kyosuke, the president of a beer company, who gets kidnapped while Kamikawa who plays the police detective Aida Yuuichirou will try to save him and catch the criminals. This is the second time that Kamikawa is playing the role of Aida who last appeared in another 2010 WOWOW drama "Marks no Yama". This time, Aida was transferred from the Metropolitan Police Department's First Division to a neighbourhood police station but he will not be demoralised by the move. On the other hand, Shibata who has been used to playing police detectives since the popular "Abunai Deka" series, admitted that he was not used to playing a role like this and felt that it would be easier to play a police officer.
