Teppei Koike to star in Otsuichi adaptation

Teppei Koike of pop duo WaT has been chosen to star in Tatsuya Ogishima’s movie “KIDS,” based on the short story “Kiz/Kids” by Otsuichi. Ogishima previously directed “Kimi ni Shika Kikoenai,” also based on a story by the same author.

“KIDS” revolves around a young man named Asato, who has the power to transfer other people’s wounds to his own body. The story focuses on his friendship with another young man named Takeo (played by Hiroshi Tamaki). Chiaki Kuriyama also has a part in the cast.

Filming began on the 14th of this month. The movie is scheduled to open in February.
