Rei Fujita, who made his acting debut in “Kamen Rider 555” and is currently active in roles such as Enomoto Takeaki in the musical “Touken Ranbu,” has been added to the cast of the drama “Gift,” scheduled to air on TOKYO MX and BS NTV from Wednesday, October 1, 2025. He will play Taku Natsume, the older brother of Kanade Natsume, played by Toshiyuki Someya, who also co-stars with him in “MANKAI STAGE A3!” Taku Natsume / Suguru Natsume (played by Rei Fujita) Rei Fujita…Born September 6, 1988, in Tokyo. A superintendent in the Criminal Investigation Division of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, he is an elite “career officer.” He is the older brother of Natsume Kanade (played by Someya Toshiyuki). He is quiet and it’s hard to tell what he’s thinking. Rei Fujita’s Comment I will be appearing in the role of Taku Natsume. As the older brother of Natsume Kanade, played by Sometani-kun, I’m actually one year younger than Sometani-kun, so I grew a beard to make myself more convincing as an older brother (lol) As an elite career detective, he’s quite a mysterious character this time, but I played him based on his own sense of justice and beliefs. I hope you enjoy his interactions with the other characters as well as Kanade. Look forward to it! Guests in Each Episode In episode 2, Yoshitaka Shion, who has previously co-starred with Fujita Rei and Someya Toshiyuki in “MANKAI STAGE A3!”, will appear as Hongo Keito, a man who starts causing a disturbance inside the restaurant “Solliev0.” Also appearing in the drama and stage production of “Solliev0,” Yasui Kazuma will reprise his role as Mikoshiba Chidai, the same character he played in “Solliev0,” while Takizawa Ryo, who also appeared in the stage production of “Solliev0,” will play Ito Eiji. The guest for episode 3 is Ryuto Yamamoto, who is also active as a member of the dance vocal unit “ICEx.” He plays the role of Koike Asahi, a follower of the Juei sect. In episode 4, guest star Yo Maejima, who has previously worked with Kenji Taniguchi, who plays Sakuma in “Gift,” in “Kamen Rider Amazons.” He plays Shiibashi, who unexpectedly becomes a user of special abilities.
