It was announced that TV Asahi upcoming late-night dorama 'Samurai Sensei' will star Kanjani8's Nishikido Ryo (30) as lead cast! He is once again acting as teacher after his previous 2014 TBS dorama, 'Gomen Ne Seishun!' but in different timeline.

Takechi Hanpeita (Nishikido Ryo), a samurai of Tosa domain who campaigned for the expulsion of foreigners, unwittingly travels 150 years in time from the last days of the Tokugawa shogunate to present day Japan. He becomes a teacher at a private school run by Saeki Makoto in a village in the remote countryside through an unexpected turn of events, and solves all kinds of problems in the village with methods unique to a samurai.
