Disclosure: I work for TWIGFARM on behalf of ODK Media, a US distributor of this TV series. Per WP:COI I am requesting changes here rather than editing directly.
Request 1 — lead, second paragraph. The lead currently mentions the TV drama but does not name its protagonist or reflect its scale. Proposed replacement for the second paragraph:
- The manga has been adapted into a number of media, most notably a live-action
television drama series starring Yutaka Matsushige as Gorō Inogashira, which has aired on TV Tokyo since January 2012 and has run for more than ten seasons. A Chinese web series adaptation starring Winston Chao was released in 2015. A 10-episode original net animation premiered in 2017. A feature film continuation of the drama series, directed, co-written by and starring Matsushige, was released in January 2025.
This can be supported entirely by sources already cited in the article (Anime News Network 2011; SCMP film review, March 2025; Japan Times, March 2025).
Request 2 — new Cast subsection under "Japanese TV series". The article currently has no structured cast information anywhere. Proposed text:
- Cast
- Yutaka Matsushige as Gorō Inogashira, a self-employed importer of general
goods who dines alone between business calls.
- Masayuki Kusumi (the original author) as himself, in the unscripted closing
segment in which he visits the restaurant featured in the episode.
Both points are verifiable from refs already in the article (ANN; Sabukaru; Tokyo Weekender). Rationale: the drama is the form of this franchise best known internationally (per the cited SCMP and Japan Times pieces), and per MOS:LEAD the lead should reflect it; cast information is standard for TV series coverage. Thank you for reviewing.
