"Last Man -FIRST LOVE-" movie adaptation of the hit drama starring Masaharu Fukuyama, releasing on December 24, 2025.

The continuous drama "Last Man -Blind Investigator-" starring Masaharu Fukuyama, which aired on TBS TV in April 2023 and caused a major boom, will be adapted into a movie titled "Last Man -FIRST LOVE-" set to be released nationwide on December 24, 2025, Christmas Eve. This work features Fukuyama as the blind FBI investigator Hiromi Minami and Yo Oizumi as the solitary detective Shintaro Godo, who form an uneven buddy duo to solve difficult cases in this exciting new era buddy drama. The protagonist, Hiromi Minami, lost his eyesight due to an accident in the past but is known as the "Last Man", the ultimate trump card in the FBI, having solved numerous cases as a skilled special investigator. Assigned to assist Hiromi, who is an exchange student from America, is the solitary detective Shintaro Godo, who will stop at nothing to arrest criminals. Despite their completely different titles and personalities, the two gradually come together to become an "invincible buddy" solving cases. Furthermore, in the latter half of the drama, the past ties between Hiromi and Shintaro are revealed, culminating in the shocking fact that they are actual brothers. Viewers praised the emotional and moving ending, saying things like "I didn't expect to cry this much" and "unexpectedly sobbing". New cast members involved in difficult cases include SF9's Rowoon, rising actress Rui Tsukishima, and talented actor Kan Ichiro. The regular cast from the drama will return, and Rie Miyazawa will appear as Hiromi's "first love". Rowoon plays Clyde Yun, an FBI investigator who sees Hiromi as a rival, while Rui Tsukishima plays Nina Iwanowa, the daughter of Hiromi's first love, Nagisa Iwanowa (Rie Miyazawa). Kan Ichiro plays Glen Araki, a high-ranking member of a terrorist organization targeting Nagisa, and Ayumu Yata plays Tony Tan, a CIA information officer. Daisuke Kuroda plays Noboru Hatamoto from the Hokkaido Police SP team. Other notable actors include Riku Kumaki from "Kamen Rider Gatchard" and Hime Kamoshida from the Netflix original drama "Extreme Bad Queen". The seven new cast members, who are participating in the Last Man team for the first time, will be involved in the most challenging case in history. Comments from Rowoon and Rui Tsukishima were received upon the announcement of the new cast. ◆ SF9 Rowoon (Clyde Yun) Comment: Participating in a Japanese work was a new challenge for me, but I was looking forward to acting in a different language and cultural sphere. I was happy to make friends with respected seniors like Fukuyama and Oizumi during filming, and I was also happy to shoot in the beautiful environment of Hokkaido. I believe "Last Man" is a work that can be enjoyed with family, friends, and loved ones during the year-end and New Year holidays. Yun is a confident person full of passion for success, and I hope you will pay attention to how he changes throughout this story. ◆ Rui Tsukishima (Nina Iwanowa) Comment: When I heard the news of my casting, I imagined being among such luxurious and wonderful actors, and I still vividly remember the shock and joy that welled up in me. I was looking forward to filming, but I was a bit nervous at the beginning. However, the kindness of Rie Miyazawa, who played my mother, helped me blend into the set as both Nina and myself. Nina appears cool and smart, yet has a shadowy presence. I cherished the time spent with Hiromi and Shintaro, learning about my true self and various forms of love. I hope you enjoy the beautiful scenery of Hokkaido that perfectly fits the title "FIRST LOVE" while watching this powerful story in theaters! ◆ Kan Ichiro (Glen Araki) Comment: I felt pressure because the continuous drama was very popular, but I was happy to join the Last Man team. I had quite a few scenes with Fukuyama, who treated everyone equally, creating an environment that allowed me to naturally enter the filming even as a newcomer. Araki is a high-ranking member of a mysterious organization, and when I first read the script, I imagined him as a hot-tempered type, but after discussing with the director, we decided that a quiet character might appear scarier, so we developed the character that way. While inheriting the good aspects of the drama, the scale and action have further ramped up. I believe it has become a powerful visual experience, so I hope you will come to see it in theaters. ◆ Ayumu Yata (Tony Tan) Comment: For about two weeks in Hokkaido, we chased snow and filmed in Nagano and Gunma, participating in almost all locations. My role is to assist the blind investigator, and meeting Fukuyama, whom I admired since high school, was a dream come true. At first, I could only communicate awkwardly, but he was very approachable, and I will cherish the dinner party in Hakodate as a lifelong souvenir! As Fukuyama said, in a sense, we want this movie to be a star for people with disabilities. In fact, there are real-life investigators like this in America, and what we think is impossible might actually yield results beyond fantasy or science fiction. So I believe this story is not a lie in movies or dramas, but a world that exists, making it a more enjoyable work to watch. ◆ Daisuke Kuroda (Noboru Hatamoto) Comment: Even in very harsh conditions on set, the atmosphere was pleasant, so I am looking forward to the completion. I apologize for sliding and getting a lot of snow on Fukuyama's face during the heavy snow. ◆ Riku Kumaki (Igarashi) Comment: I am very honored to be able to participate in a work that I have been a fan of. When I first read the script, I was drawn into the tension created by the interplay between terrorists, Japanese police, and the FBI, and I was very excited to see how it would unfold with action. During filming, the staff were shoveling snow for the next scene, and Daisuke Kuroda jokingly asked Oizumi, who was actively shoveling snow, "Is this job long?" (laughs). That led to an improvised skit-like exchange that left a strong impression on me. I feel that such a warm atmosphere supported the harsh filming and is alive in every corner of the work. I hope you will enjoy it in theaters. ◆ Hime Kamoshida (Hokkaido Police SP) Comment: When I was cast, I was anxious about joining a team that was already established, but as someone who cried a lot watching the drama version, I was purely happy to meet the strongest buddy again, and I was excited about the chemical reactions with each new team. This work also features the amusing exchanges between Hiromi and Godo, and there was a scene where I chuckled thinking, "Fukuyama is saying this line," and I am looking forward to the audience's reaction. The scenes filmed in the city were also memorable. The film "Last Man -FIRST LOVE-", set against the backdrop of winter Hokkaido, is a very interesting work that the whole family can enjoy. Please look forward to it in theaters! ■ Work Overview "Last Man -FIRST LOVE-" will be released nationwide on December 24, 2025.
