So, this time, we would like to take a look back on Kaji’s role in this drama and the history of his previous appearances in live-action dramas.

The drama”Love Will Begin When Money Ends”, where he appeared this time, shows Kuki Reiko, a poor woman played by Matsuoka Mayu, and Saruwatari Keita, a loose boy who spends money played by Haruma Miura, who have met as “Pure poor girl” and “Waste boy”, but then for some reason Keita starts to live in Reiko’s house in Kamakura… A summer love story unfolds through learning about money.

Kaji plays the role of Yamaga Shinichiro, the president of a venture company that proposes new projects to the company “Monkey Pass” where main protagonists Reiko and Keita work.
He tweeted about the broadcast, “The Yamaga, who I play, has one scene this time. He appears fleetingly. But it’s deep. Please think about ‘Who is this guy?!’, Haha! Anyway! First of all, please look forward to the first episode.”

Please look forward to seeing what Kaji will add to the story.

And in WOWOW’s original drama “Piple / Piple: AI to Kekkon Seikatsu Hajimemashita”, he played the role of Kaburagi Kenichi, a salaryman who chose to marry a humanoid AI.

Kaji’s first starring role in a live-action drama was the role of an ordinary boy Arasa, who is not good at communicating with real people, because of his temperament in “Ikiri Otaku”.

We will continue to watch out for Kaji’s charm as an “actor,” which is different from his voice actor performances, narration, and variety performances.
