A Kamen Teacher live action series based on the manga by GTO's Tohru Fujisawa was announced earlier this week. The series follows Gota Araki, a man with the power to become Kamen Teacher, a hero who goes from school to school to put down delinquency and bullying. Although he tries to avoid donning the mask, some situations call for Araki to begrudgingly become the super-powered motorcycle rider. Taisuke Fujigaya will play Goto Araki, joined by Aya Omasa and Fuma Kikuchi. The series is slated to start on July 6th on NTV.
