Text/Yangcheng Evening News all-media reporter Hu Guangxin

The eight-episode web series TOKYO VICE, co-produced by Japan's WOWOW TV and HBO MAX, will begin airing next spring. The film is starring Ansel Elgert, the male protagonist of "Extreme Car Thief", and other actors include Ken Watanabe, Rinko Kikuchi, Hideaki Ito, and Tomohisa Yamashita.

"TOKYO VICE" tells the story of American journalist Jack (Ansel Elgert) who works at a Japanese newspaper and follows the Tokyo police into the dark side of society. Ken Watanabe plays a Tokyo policeman, a fatherly figure for Jack, leading the latter to the blurred line between the police world and the criminal world; Rinko Kikuchi plays veteran journalist "Maruyama Tsukimi", Jack's predecessor; Hideaki Ito plays Miyamoto, a policeman who uses his identity to act in the case.

It is worth mentioning that Tomohisa Yamashita, who became independent from The Janis Office last year, will challenge the male public relations role for the first time in the drama, playing a popular male publicist Akira. He said: "This character is very characteristic, and I did my homework to find out why he became that person. And most importantly, I worked hard to be a part of this great work. ”

"TOKYO VICE", which costs up to 8.8 billion yen to produce, is expected to be broadcast next spring on HBOmax and Japan's WOWOW TV. (For more news, please pay attention to Yangcheng Pie pai.ycwb.com)
