Several more cast members have been announced for the live-action “Ranma 1/2” drama special that was announced last week. The newest additions are Nagayama Kento, Nishiyama Maki, Kanai Yuta, and Tayama Ryosei.
Based on the classic manga by Takahashi Rumiko, the drama was already known to be an original script starring Aragaki Yui as Tendo Akane, with Kaku Kento and Natsuna playing the two halves of Saotome Ranma.
Nagayama will play Ranma’s rival Kuno Tatewaki, while Nishiyama will play Akane’s sister Nabiki. Kanai has been cast as Gosunkugi Hikaru.
Tayama will play an original character named Okamada, who is the vice principal of Akane’s school and serves as an antagonist to the main characters.
NTV will broadcast the “Ranma 1/2″ drama special this December.
