Japanese stars Ito Hideaki (“Tokkai”), Kasamatsu Sho (“Flowers and Rain”) and Yamashita Tomohisa (“The Man from Toronto”) have joined the cast as series regulars on “Tokyo Vice.” The series is back…

The series is loosely inspired by American journalist Jake Adelstein’s 2009 memoir, “Tokyo Vice: An American Reporter on the Police Beat in Japan.” The series was created and written by Tony-winning playwright J.T. Rogers.Portrayed by Elgort in the series, Adelstein was the first foreigner working the crime beat for a Japanese newspaper and spent 12 years there. His book was first published in 2009 and has been translated into multiple languages.

Ito plays Miyamoto, a vice detective who is great at his job and knows it. Kasamatsu plays Sato, a Chihara-Kai crime family member, while Yamashita portrays Akira, a professional host who is not as honest as he seems.
