Koyuki to be regular cast member in "Legal High"; other supporting cast members and guest stars also announced

Koyuki returns to her first drama series through the new installment of "Legal High" in autumn following the birth of her second child in January this year. The drama will begin its run via FujiTV from 9 October in the Wednesdays 10pm timeslot and still features Sakai Masato as the lead Komikado Kensuke with his partner Mayuzumi Machiko to be played by Aragaki Yui.

Koyuki will be playing the role of Ando Kiwa, a convict on death roll after she was sentenced for the murders of her company's president and his daughter in order to receive their insurance payouts. Ando had been married twice but both her husbands died under suspicious conditions (second husband supposedly killed himself) so her case is one that enjoys high media attention. Koyuki commented that it has been a long time since she acted in a drama serial and hopes to work with everyone to produce something enjoyable.

FujiTV also announced other supporting cast members and guest stars in the new drama including Furutachi Kanji and Kuroki Hana who play lawyers in the law firm NEXUS which is also a rival of Komikado and Matsudaira Ken who appears in the first episode as a special guest and plays the chief prosecutor for Ando's case.
