Ikuta Toma starring in movie "Nou Otoko" (Brain Man)

Ikuta Toma will play his first bad guy role in the movie "Nou Otoko" (Brain Man" due to be shown in theatres from February 2013. The movie is based on Shudou Urio's same-titled novel which won the Edogawa Ranpo award after it was published in 2000. Ikuta Toma plays a good-looking, clever and athletic man named Suzuki Ichiro who kills people mercilessly and whose actions are analyzed by a police detective and a brain surgeon played by Eguchi Yosuke and Matsuyuki Yasuko respectively.

In preparation for the role's action scenes, Ikuta started learning various martial arts since six months ago at the request of the movie's director. In addition, the climax scene when Suzuki Ichiro faces off with a serial terror bomber will be filmed at a former hospital in Toyama Prefecture which was due to be demolished instead of relying on CG. Filming began in early June
