Other name: 陽はまた昇る, ひはまたのぼる, 太陽依然昇起

Description:

Hi wa Mata Noboru is a compelling drama about Tono Kazuyuki, played by Sato Koichi, a former detective from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police's First Investigative Division. After resigning to take responsibility, Tono unexpectedly receives an appointment letter to become a police academy instructor. He believes he is completely unfit for this role, as his career was built on obsessive, unorthodox methods to arrest violent criminals, rather than teaching dry classroom theories. At the academy, Tono is met with naive young trainees who are only drawn to the stable civil servant lifestyle. Among them is Miyata Eiji, played by Miura Haruma, a smart, athletic, and popular trainee who has coasted through life without facing any hardships. Miyata's superficial approach is the exact opposite of what a real officer needs to protect citizens. This series explores the intense clash between an unconventional veteran and his untested students.
