The official website for the live-action series of Akiko Higashimura’s Bishoku Tantei Akechi Gorō (Gourmet Detective Gorō Akechi) manga revealed on Tuesday that Kanta Satō is joining the show’s cast as Tatsuomi Takahashi.
Higashimura launched the Gisō Furin (Disguised Adultery) color web manga on the web manga site XOY in December 2017.
The high-strung gumshoe detective is a subordinate to Katōno, and is such a fan of Gorō Akechi that he readily gives up the details of any case to Akechi.
Yukiya Kitamura as Katōno, a police officer who dislikes Akechi’s meddling in investigations, but Akechi always ends up saving him.
