Last month, it was announced that Arashi’s Satoshi Ohno (29) will star in a live-action drama series based on the “Kaibutsu-kun” manga. On Wednesday, more of the cast members were revealed, along with their costumes.
The fantasy story follows young Kaibutsu-kun (Ohno), the prince of a land of monsters, who travels to the human world for training. Takeshi Kaga (59) plays the king of that world, while other monsters include Dracula (Norito Yashima), Wolf Man (Ryuhei Ueshima of Dachou Club), Frankenstein (Choi Hong Man), and Jijiya (Kazuaki Hankai).
Members of the demon world include the prince Demokin (Masahiro Matsuoka), Demorina (Izumi Inamori), and Akkuma (Kanji Tsuda). The human world includes Utako Ichikawa (Umika Kawashima), Hiroshi Ichikawa (Tatsuomi Hamada), and a policeman (Hiroki Miyake).
The series premieres on April 17.

Real Time News coverage:
Oh-chan is so darn adorable here, the Kaibutsu-kun outfit certainly makes him look 16, ne. How can he be turning 30 year this?! He gets cuter and cuter as he ages. I’m also really psyched about him working Mabo. :up: for some Arashi and TOKIO collaboration, definitely looking forward to this!
