He issues formal challenges for duels and continues to say how he will be the “TOP” or “leader” of the school. Having read one to many yankee comic books, his image doesn’t exactly blend in well with the others. However, much to everyone’s dismay, his version of a “yankee” is a bit outdated. So upon his return to Japan, he enrolls at the very same high school that he guy who saved him went to so that he can be the top, just like him. Inaba took those words to heart and made them his motto in just about anything. In addition, he gave Inaba his jacket and told him that once he is stronger, he should return it to him (which in turn makes the event fortunate because he gained a lot of courage from this guys words). This guy just so happened to be the leader of the delinquents at the local high school and after saving Inaba, he told him to never give up. Nobody dared to help him except for one guy. One unfortunate and fortunate incident that has stuck with him all his life is the day these three adult men were picking on him and bullying him in public (which is what makes the event unfortunate). Nakajima Yuto as Inaba NaoyaĪ bit of back story on our main character is that when he was younger, he was a big crybaby. He is living with his childhood friend Iwasaki Nagisa (played by Sakurako Ohara) and her family while he attends high school. Now, he is finally back in Japan so that he can finish high school. He is originally from Japan but moved abroad for a while. The main character of the story is Inaba Naoya (played by Nakajima Yuto). Instead, the characters simply seem to be the type that just like to fool around and have too much fun rather than going around picking fights with everybody. This is because the characters don’t fall into the stereotypical “yankee” persona that is seen in others that involve delinquent students. The word “yankee” in the title is slightly deceiving, from what I have seen so far. To start off, this drama is a little different from what I had originally thought. But, on the bright side school is finishing soon and I’ll have quite a bit of time to just sit back and watch dramas. How it is I am going to keep up with watch the four dramas I am currently watching is beyond me. So, in a spur of the moment I decided to start watching yet another drama.
