The shows plot involves Yoshihiko (played by Takayuki Yamada), and his three companions the warrior Danjo (played by Shin Takuma), the villager Murasaki (played by Haruka Kinami), and the mage Mereb (played by Tsuyoshi Muro). These four are tasked by Buddha (played by Jiro Sato) to save the world.
The Hero Yoshihiko and the Guided Seven is set to premiere this October.
