It has been decided that KAWANISHI TAKUMI will appear as one of the main cast members in TV Tokyo's "Cool Guys", which will start broadcasting from April 14, 2023.

The original is a manga of the same name by Kokone Nata, serialized in "Gangan pixiv", which has exceeded 800,000 copies in total, and is a topical work that has been animated on TV Tokyo from October 2022.

Four cool handsome guys with different occupations and ages, but what they all have in common is "all clumsy"!

Playing music on the bus without wearing earphones, pretending to lift up your glasses even though you're wearing contact lenses, or using a bendable straw without realizing it. The "cool bumbling boys", who find even such "clumsers" to be "cool", have a fateful encounter because of their clumsiness. A heartfelt depiction of the daily life of "beloved boys" who work hard to support each other and gradually develop friendships while facing the troubles of life-sized modern boys.

KAWANISHI will play the role of Soma Shiki, one of those "cool bumbling boys".

Comment from KAWANISHI TAKUMI as Soma Shiki

nice to meet you. I'm Takumi TAKUMI, and I'll be playing the role of KAWANISHI Shiki. First of all, I am very grateful to be able to participate in such a wonderful work.

thank you. This is my first terrestrial drama and I started filming with anxiety and tension, but the staff and cast members are warm and I am filming in a very good atmosphere.

I would be happy if you could enjoy watching the four people go through their own blunders and somehow get on the same wavelength while laughing and laughing.

And I think that everyone can sympathize with the troubles that each of the four people have.

I would be happy if it becomes a drama that blows away everyone's worries and anxieties by seeing how they overcome it.
