Uchino Masaaki will be starring in the TBS Winter 2013 drama "Tonbi" which is due to begin its run in January next year in the Sundays 9pm timeslot. The story is based on a novel by Naoki Award author Shigematsu Kiyoshi published in 2008 and features Uchino as Ichikawa Yasuo, a single father who works as a truck driver and has to raise his only son Akira alone during the Showa era after his wife passed away due to an accident when Akira was just 3 years old. The teenager and adult version of Akira from 16 to 30 years old will be played by Sato Takeru while Yasuo's wife will be played by Tokiwa Takako. The drama which will be produced by the same crew that worked on TBS hit drama "JIN", will adopt Akira's viewpoint when he becomes an employee at a publishing company and his father's life is shown in the form of flashbacks. Co-stars of this drama also include Fukiishi Kazue and Emoto Akira.
