NHK announced during a press conference on 10 October 2012 that V6 member Okada Junichi will star in their 2014 Taiga drama "Gunshi Kanbee" (Kanbee The Strategist). He will play the role of Kuroda Kanbee in this Taiga written by Maekawa Yoichi which is also his first appearance in a Taiga drama. Kuroda Kanbee was a genius well-versed in the art of battle during the Warring States era and heavily depended on by Nobunaga, Hideyoshi and Ieyasu while guarded against him at the same time. Kanbee had a perfect track record of no losses for 50-over battles during that era. During the press conference, Okada revealed that he liked history especially the Warring States era and had aimed to be a history teacher before he entered showbiz. As such, he is extremely honoured and happy to be selected for this role.
