Takaya Kamikawa stars in “Marks no Yama”

A press conference was held on Wednesday for the recently announced WOWOW drama series “Marks no Yama.” The show is based on the Naoki Prize-winning novel by Kaoru Takamura, which was previously adapted by director Yoichi Sai in 1995 as a film starring Kiichi Nakai and Masato Hagiwara.

The mystery story starts with two murders, one of a former gangster and another of a Ministry of Justice official. As one police inspector (played by lead actor Takaya Kamikawa) investigates the case, he learns of a connection to a mysterious young man named “Marks” (Kengo Kora).

The cast for the show, which was revealed one person per day from August 3 up until the press conference, also features Fumiyo Kohinata, Ken Ishiguro, Manami Konishi, Ren Osugi, and Naho Toda. The first of the five episodes will air on October 17 at 10:00pm.
