Autumn 2009 Gekku drama - "Tokyo Dogs ~ Saiaku de Saikou no Partner"

Oguri Shun and Mizushima Hiro will be teaming up in the autumn 2009 FujiTV Gekku drama (Mondays, 9pm), "Tokyo Dogs ~ Saiaku de Saikou no Partner" (Tokyo Dogs ~ The Worst yet Best Partner) which begins its run in October. This is the first police investigative drama in Gekku history and Oguri's first appearance in this slot. Oguri plays an elite police detective working in New York City who rose through the ranks from the military. He works with a calm and serious attitude and is well-known for being rigid. When he starts to work on a drug case with the Japan police force, he ends up having to work with a gangster-turned-policeman played by Mizushima Hiro. Mizushima's character is a guy who is well-versed in various forms of martial arts and is the exact opposite of Oguri's cold character. In addition, he is a fan of group dating unlike Oguri who shows little interest in women. Yoshitaka Yuriko will also be in the lineup as a mysterious woman who holds the key to solving the case.
