Gyakuzoku no Bakushin

Synopsis

Will be broadcast from Jan 2027. Date TBA!

Matsuzaka Tori will star in the 2027 upcoming Taiga Gyakuzoku no Bakushin. This work tells the untold story of Oguri Tadamasa (Kozukenosuke), a historical figure famously known as Katsu Kaishū’s rival. This narrative unfolds from the perspective of the “defeated” – an Edo shogunate vassal – revealing the hidden aspects of the tumultuous late Edo period. Oguri, who became Japan’s first envoy to the United States and experienced the civilization of a new era, designed a blueprint for a new nation. However, the Meiji government ultimately branded him a “traitor,” and his legacy was buried in the darkness of history.
