Tanihara Shosuke to star in TV Tokyo Spring 2016 drama "Doctor Chousahan ~ Iryo Jiko no Yami wo Abake ~"


Tanihara Shosuke will be starring in the TV Tokyo Spring 2016 drama "Doctor Chousahan ~ Iryo Jiko no Yami wo Abake ~" (Doctor Investigative Unit ~ Exposing the darkness of medical accidents ~) which will begin its run from April in the Fridays 8pm timeslot. Tanihara who celebrated his 20th anniversary as an actor last year, plays the role of the leader who is also a digestive system surgeon in a fictitious organisation "Iryo Jiko Chousa Iinkai" (Investigation committee of medical accidents) which is made up of doctors and lawyers who infiltrate hospitals and medical institutions suspected of being involved in medical accidents and tries to find out the truth behind the cases. This drama is especially timely as there was a new system set up in Japan last October to investigate medical accidents and how to prevent them.

This is the first time 18 years since Tanihara acted in a TV Tokyo drama when he appeared in the 1998 drama "Nanase Futatabi".
