Narimiya Hiroki will be the guest star in Ep 5 of TBS Autumn 2016 drama "IQ246 ~ Karei naru Jikenbo ~" which will be shown at 9pm on 13 November. He will be playing Chiyono Kouichi, an up-and-coming artist responsible for a murder that happens at an art gallery. Houmonji Sharaku (Oda) meets Chiyono at the gallery's pre-opening ceremony which is produced by Chiyono and his partner Banda Kaname (Yamoto Yuma). However, during the ceremony, Banda falls to his death right in front of Sharaku and Chiyono.

Narimiya expressed his joy at being able to work with Oda who has been his idol since he watched his dramas "Tokyo Love Story" in 1991 and "Okane ga nai" in 1994. As such, he was so excited when they first met and just shouted Oda's full name without honoriffics which led the latter to tease him for doing that. Narimiya commented that the battle between their characters is definitely worth checking out especially since the tricks used by the murderer this time are very intricate and complicated.
