Yoshihiko Inohara Makes Surprise TBS Drama Return After 28 Years

Yoshihiko Inohara made an unannounced appearance in episode 8 of the TBS Friday drama "Until the T-Shirt Dries," airing August 28. The appearance marks his first role in a TBS serial drama in about 28 years, since "Sweet Season" in 1998. Inohara plays Atsuhiko, a mysterious man connected to Sakiko's past.

Yoshihiko Inohara slipped into the cast of "Until the T-Shirt Dries" without any advance notice, appearing at the end of episode 8 as Atsuhiko, a man living in a seaside town who greets Sakiko (Yui Aoi) with smiles alongside a boy and girl believed to be his children. The drama, written by Miyu Ubukata and directed by Yasuharu Doi, follows two couples whose stable lives collapse after an accident.

Inohara's last TBS serial drama role was "Sweet Season" in 1998. Episode 9 promises to reveal the secret Sakiko has been carrying and how Atsuhiko fits into her past.
