"Tantei-san, Ryukku Aitemasu yo" (Winter 2026, TV Asahi) is a drama about a detective and inventor in a hot spring town who solves bizarre cases in a laid-back manner. Matsuda Ryuhei plays Ichinose Yosuke, a detective/inventor who took over his father's detective business after his father disappeared, while also dedicating himself to inventions. He uses his family's abandoned hot spring inn in the small rural town of Nishigaya Onsen as his detective office and residence, but it's filled with Yosuke's bizarre and surreal inventions! In fact, he once successfully conducted research in America to convert "negative emotions" into energy. With Yosuke's return to Japan, Nishigaya Onsen has become a slightly unusual hot spring town where strange requests come in from a variety of unique clients. Yosuke is busy trying to solve numerous bizarre requests in unpredictable and eccentric ways.
