[Tokyograph News]

Yuta Uekusa, the 12-year-old son of Shonentai member Katsuhide Uekusa, will appear in his first television drama this fall.

Yuta barely made his debut as a Johnny's Jr. idol in July when he joined his father in Shonentai's annual musical, "PLAYZONE." His next role is an a part in TBS's "3 Nen B Gumi Kinpachi Sensei 8," which begins on October 11.

His character in the drama series is Yuki Kanawa, a boy who behaves like an honor student at school, but is quite different on the inside.
