SATO TAKERU

Takeru Sato to star in "Q10" drama

Sun, August 8, 2010 (7:27pm EDT)

Actor Takeru Sato (21) has landed his first starring role in a drama series. He will play a high school student in the NTV drama "Q10" this fall, using an original script by Izumi Kizara ("Nobuta wo Produce").

Sato plays Heita, an ordinary high school boy with a kind heart but no real interest in romance. His class is joined by a transfer student named Q10 (pronounced "kyu-to," the same as "cute"), who looks like a girl but is actually a robot. Together, the two end up causing trouble at school, and Heita even begins falling for Q10. A kiss scene between the two is planned.

NTV will start shooting the drama in early September in preparation for an October premiere. The series will air on Saturday nights at 9:00pm.

Is anyone watching this?

I've seen the first two episodes and it's pretty good. The tone is a lot like Nobuta wo Produce (and it makes sense since it's by the same writer). It's an adorable little love story, but it's also really focused on the high school aspect and what makes someone "human", since the female lead is a robot.
