Sugimoto Tetta & Furuta Arata to star in TBS Winter 2014 drama "Inpei Sousa"

Sugimoto Tetta and Furuta Arata will be the joint leads in the upcoming TBS Winter 2014 drama "Inpei Sousa" which will begin its run from 13 January 2014 at 8pm on Sundays. The drama is based on the bestselling police detective novel by Konno Bin which had sold more than 1.3 million copies to date and describes the story about a group of elite police officers involved in a power struggle. There had been 2 drama SP adaptations of the same novel in 2007 and 2008 starring Jinnai Takanori and Yanagiba Toshiro and another stage play adaptation in 2011 starring Kamikawa Takaya and Nakamura Senjaku.

Sugimoto plays the role of Ryuzaki, an elite officer who graduated from Tokyo University and has a strong belief in his values. On the other hand, his colleague Itami who is played by Furuta, is good at human relations and sometimes holds vastly different views from Ryuzaki. Namase Katsuhisa will play their colleague while Ryuzaki's wife will be played by Suzuki Sawa.
