Japanese actor Takashi Sorimachi, who played reformed biker gangster-turned-teacher Eikichi Onizuka in the live-action television adaptation GTO , is reprising his role in an upcoming TV special.
The 1998 series, which was adapted from the Japanese manga series of the same name, starred Sorimachi as a teacher dealing with a class of students facing various issues in unique and creative ways. Sorimachi said in the press release that he had turned down several offers to play the role of Onizuka again, but decided to accept this time as he thought it would be meaningful.
“I was interested in what kind of interactions Onizuka will have with students in the current era as they face problems and worries that are unique to present times.”
