Naoki Tanaka, one half of the comedy duo Cocorico, will be playing a key role in an upcoming NTV drama series. "Reset" is inspired by a horror comic written by mangaka Mayuri Yamamoto, who is also known for "Honto ni Atta Kowai Hanashi" and the "Reinousha" series.

The drama consists of individual stories, each featuring a different star. In each episode, the main character is faced with an "ultimate choice" that will determine whether they can "reset" their lives for the better. Tanaka will play a "time guide" named Anri who watches over the protagonists and appears to them during their crucial moments.

The series will lead off with a 2-hour special starring Masahiko Tsugawa as Anri, followed by Tanaka taking over the role later the same night. NTV will premiere the show in January, placing it in the Thursday 11:58pm time slot.
