Ryō Katō co-stars in NHK shorts about robot integrating in human society

Voice actress Ayana Taketatsu will star in her first live-action broadcast television drama alongside Ryō Katō in NHK's new Robokatō Nakajima to Hanazawa-san (Nakajima Robokatō and Hanazawa) mini-drama beginning on December 28. The drama will be part of the Choi Dora 2017 ~Jinsei de Emoi Koto wa 10-pun de Okoru~ (Mini-Drama 2017 ~Sad Moments in Life Happen in 10 Minutes~), a program of five 10-minute segments.

Taketatsu plays the heroine Hanazawa in the drama, a woman with whom the humanoid robot Nakajima Robokatō (Ryō Katō) is in love. In the story, Professor Takada built Robokatō to investigate human psychology. He disguises the robot and integrates him into human society. For some reason, Robokatō's antenna always picks up a strong signal from his coworker Hanazawa.

NHK is streaming the drama's "episode 0," and it will also stream "episode 0.5" at a later date.

Taketatsu has voiced characters in such anime as K-ON! (Azusa Nakano), Highschool of the Dead (Arisu Maresato), Star Driver (Aragon Simone), Oreimo (Kirino Kōsaka), Guilty Crown (Tsugumi), Sword Art Online (Leafa), High School DxD New (Koneko Tōjō), Kan Colle (Yamato), Girls und Panzer der Film (Arisu Shimada), Dagashi Kashi (Hotaru Shidare), and Classroom of the Elite (Kei Karuizawa).
