Nakai Masahiro to star in TBS spring drama "ATARU"

SMAP's leader Nakai Masahiro will star in TBS spring drama "ATARU" to be shown at 9pm on Sundays starting from April 2012. This is his first drama in 3 years since his last appearance in FujiTV's "Konkatsu!" in April 2009.

Nakai will play an autistic man named Ataru who also has the Savant Syndrome (autistic people who have special talents in specific areas) which allows him to solve difficult cases using his memory and reasoning powers. As the story progresses, Ataru's tragic past and why he chooses to challenge such criminal cases will be revealed.

Joining Nakai in this drama will be Kitamura Kazuki who plays the police detective working with Ataru to solve the cases and Kuriyama Chiaki whose character helps Ataru during the process.
