Kengo Kora, Hiroyuki Ikeuchi, and Sota Uchimura have joined the cast of the Hulu original series "Yagami Eiko -Ueno Central Police Station Organized Crime Countermeasures Division-" starring Meisa Kuroki. Kora plays Takafumi Gojo, a police inspector at the Shinjuku South Police Station Organized Crime Countermeasures Division.

Ikeuchi, a judo black belt, plays Shuhei Kawakami, a police inspector in Eiko's own division who is frustrated by her rule-breaking solo actions and wants her transferred. Kawakami investigated the death of Eiko's husband Masaya and closed it as suicide. Uchimura plays Satoru Izawa, a light-hearted junior detective who provides comic relief. The series is based on Akiu Fukamachi's police novel series. It will stream exclusively on Hulu starting July 24, with the first two episodes released together and new episodes every Friday.
