Actor Kotaro Koizumi (30) finally has his chance to truly prove himself as a lead actor, taking on his first starring role in a drama series. He plays a salaryman in TV Asahi's "Call Center no Koibito," written by Miho Nakazono ("Haken no Hinkaku").
The drama focuses on a young man named Wataru Tokura (Koizumi), proud of his job as a salaryman in a big city. However, he suddenly gets transferred to a rural call center, where he is forced to deal with customer complaints. Mimura plays a contract employee with impeccable customer service skills, while Yuko Natori plays a charismatic television shopping show host.
Koizumi has been the lead in drama specials before, but never in a series.
"Call Center no Koibito" will premiere this July, occupying TV Asahi's Friday 9:00pm time slot.
