Yu Shirota joins cast of “Samurai High School” with Haruma Miura

Earlier this month, it was revealed that Haruma Miura (19) will star in a school comedy on NTV next season. The show’s title has now been finalized as “Samurai High School,” and Miura’s supporting cast will include actor Yu Shirota (23).

Miura’s character is a mild-mannered high school student named Kotaro, but whenever trouble arises, he somehow transforms into a samurai and saves the day. Shirota, on the other hand, plays a classmate who becomes a victim of bullying, a departure from his usual image as a tough guy.

Fashion model Anne (23) plays the heroine, a classmate and childhood friend of Kotaro, while Goro Kishitani (44) plays Kotaro’s father. Shigeru Muroi, Mikako Ichikawa, and Suzuka Ohgo will also appear in the drama.

The show starts next month, airing at 9:00pm on Saturday nights.
