KinKi Kids' Domoto Tsuyoshi will be starring in the TBS summer 2013 drama "Tenma-san ga yuku" which begins its run from July in the Mondays 12.28am timeslot. He plays the lead character Tenma who has inherited the power to get into contact with spirits but is afraid of his ability to do that. Out of no choice, he has to take on the position of the president of a exorcism company. Kawaguchi Haruna and Minagawa Sarutoki will be Tenma's assistants in his "ghost-busting" missions. Serina will play a elder woman in the neighbourhood who chases Tenma around while Sato Jiro plays Tenma's late father who communicates with Tenma through his dreams.
Actually, the reason why Domoto was selected to play this role is due to his ability to see spirits. Fukuda Yuichi, the scriptwriter of "Tenma-san ga yuku" who last worked with Domoto in the 2008 FujiTV drama "33-pun Tantei", revealed that while they were on location shooting near Mount Fuji, Domoto claimed to have seen spirits at the hotel they were staying at so he spent the night in the car rather than his room. As a result, Fukuda decided that Domoto is the best fit for this role of a exorcist who is rather meek.
The drama will consist of 10 episodes and the theme song will also be sung by Domoto (title undecided).

I think Sanspo hastily wrote the article, because Tsuyoshi is the one who will play as Tenma (character name?), refer to Oricon, Chuspo, Tower, and many others.
