The TV Asahi drama Daikuko Gate24, starring Shuri, has filled out its main cast ahead of a July premiere. The series is set at an airport and follows GATE24, a special unit under the Cabinet Secretariat responsible for airport security. Shuri leads the ensemble as an unnamed central character.
Two casting announcements in June 2026 established the supporting team. Gōdon Maeda plays super-elite immigration inspector Keiichiro Hayami, and Rihito Itagaki plays customs officer Atsushi Matsuyama, both members of GATE24 whose contrasting personalities create internal friction within the unit. Toshiro Yanagiba plays veteran immigration inspector Shizen Fukasawa, reuniting with Shuri after they played parent and child in the NHK morning drama Boogie Woogie. Yasuko Matsuyuki plays elite bureaucrat Midori Sugihara.
The drama will air Thursdays at 21:00 starting July 23. No further cast, staff, or episode count details have been reported in the available stories.
