Matsushita Nao to star in FujiTV drama SP "Shikatsushi ~ Joou no Houigaku ~"

Matsushita Nao will be taking on the lead role in the upcoming FujiTV drama SP "Shikatsushi ~ Joou no Houigaku ~" (Corpse resuscitator ~ The Queen's forensic science) which will be shown on 27 September at 9pm and is based on the manga by Morino Aki. This is the first time that Matsushita is acting in a medical drama and she plays Kiriyama Yuki, an assistant professor in forensix science at an university's faculty of medicine, who's great at finding the true cause of unnatural deaths. On the other hand, she has a reputation of being a weirdo with her messy hair, going without makeup and behaving more like a man than a woman. Co-stars include Yokoyama Yu who plays the role of Inukai Hajime, a research student working under Kiriyama and Matsushige Yutaka who plays Murakami Mamoru, the police detective who is at odds with Kiriyama. Filming began in early August.
