Although Yuri Chinen has had a string of appearances in several J-drama, “Sensei wa Erai!” will be his first recurring role in a drama since 2004’s “Nanako to Nanao.”
The drama stars Hey! Say! JUMP members Yuto Nakajima, Ryosuke Yamada, Yuri Chinen, and Daiki Arioka as middle schoolers who try to turn a dull teacher (Yusuke Santamaria) into a charming man. Tanaka will play one of their classmates.
