When Shizuku Tachibana (Yuko Araki), Yori Suzuki (Ryo Yoshizawa), and Subaru Tojo (Yosuke Sugino) were young children, they were firm friends with a shared dream: They all wanted to become famous.

But as they grew older, their families moved away and they lost contact with one another.

Celebrity dreams have come true for two of the three, with Shizuku Tachibana now a successful model and Subaru Tojo embarking on an acting career. Only Yori Suzuki has failed to make it big. Now a high school student, he decides he will stop at nothing in his quest to also become a star – and also reunite with Shizuku Tachibana, as he harbors a secret admiration for her.

He manages to transfer to the school she attends and also manages to land a role as a production assistant on a commercial she is shooting. By a stroke of luck, he manages to appear in the ad – developing phenomenal popularity overnight as a result.

Can he capitalize on his sudden success, and find a way to win Shizuku Tachibana’s heart – even after Subaru Tojo (who also has feelings for her) reappears on the scene?

This drama was based on a 2014 manga series of the same name.

“Anokono Toriko” is a 2018 Japanese movie that was directed by Ryo Miyawaki.
