Eikura Nana & Takahashi Katsumi in spring 2013 drama "Kakushou ~ Keishicho Sousa Sanka"

Eikura Nana and Takahashi Katsumi will be teaming up as a police detective duo in the TBS spring 2013 drama "Kakusho Keishicho Sousa Sanka" which begins its run in April in the Mondays 8pm timeslot. They play partners in the 3rd division of the Metropolitan Police Department which specialises in the investigation of theft cases that form 70% of all crimes committed. The two of them will also meet with real police detectives in order to help them prepare for their roles in this drama based on the novel "Kakushou" by Konno Bin.

This is the first leading role in a private network drama for Takahashi who loves police detective dramas but only came to know that there are detectives specialising in theft cases after taking on this drama. He also hopes to portray the difficulties a middle-aged man faces when he has a younger female subordinate (Eikura) because they are always worried that any slip of the tongue might cause the misunderstanding of sexual harrassment. Eikura also commented that she wants to show the real life of a police detective instead of the stiff and serious stereotype that people are used to seeing. Co-stars in this drama include Shitara Osamu and Kadono Takuzo.
