Hulu released the main trailer and key visual for its original drama 'Yagami Eiko -Ueno Central Police Station Organized Crime Countermeasures Division-' starring Meisa Kuroki. Based on Akio Fukamachi's police novel series, the crime suspense story follows detective Eiko Yagami as she investigates her husband's death by working with yakuza and Chinese mafia. The series streams from July 24.
The trailer opens with Eiko Yagami being warned by a senior police official that revenge has no meaning, but she presses forward anyway. The clip introduces key players across multiple factions: yakuza boss Shogo Arishima (Eiji Okuda), his second-in-command Michiaki Kai (Naohito Fujiki), detective Takafumi Gojo (Kengo Kora), Eiko's superior Shuhei Kawakami (Hiroyuki Ikeuchi), Chinese mafia member Liu Yingli (Ryo), and Filipino hitman Granizo (Ken Kojima of Aぇ! group). The key visual carries the tagline 'The more you chase evil, the more you become stained by evil' and places Eiko alongside her late husband Masaya (Katsuya Maiguma) and the other characters. A character relationship chart released alongside the trailer lays out the four main groups: the police, the yakuza group Chinami-gumi, the semi-organized crime group Tokyo Alliance, and the Chinese mafia operating in Ueno. The first two episodes drop simultaneously on July 24, with new episodes every Friday after that.
