On December 14, Fuji TV will broadcast a drama special titled ‘Churaumi Kara no Nengajou.’ It revolves around Okinawa’s Churaumi Aquarium, which opened in 2002 and was the largest in the world until 2005.
Actor Saburo Tokito stars in the drama as the aquarium’s director. The story begins when he announces the plans for the aquarium’s 7500-ton main tank, inspired by a boy fighting an incurable illness in a Hokkaido hospital.
The supporting cast includes Kenta Suga as the young boy and Hiro Mizushima as a postal worker delivering the boy’s letters to Tokito.
Saburo Tokito also starred in the J-drama “Dr. Koto Shinryoujo” which was filmed on location in Yonaguni, Okinawa.
