I think of “Detective Abu Nazinai” as a major cultural undertaking. I am the foundation that explains the story’s origins and endings, and Kyo-sama colors the rhythm and worldview. So this work belongs to Kyo-sama.”

In a past interview with this magazine, actor Hiroshi Tachi (74) said, “Japanese detective dramas up to that time were heavyweight.

Until then, Japanese detective dramas were all heavy and tragic. Detective Abu” rejected this trend and presented a comical and fashionable detective drama. The actor who created that lighthearted worldview was Kyobei Shibata.

When the drama began airing 38 years ago, Tachi was too busy playing to spend time reading the script or memorizing the dialogue.

Eight years have passed since the last movie “Farewell, Detective Abu Nazinai” was released. Fans all over Japan rejoiced when it was announced that the new film, “The Return of the Abominable Detective,” would be released.

In an exclusive interview, Kyouhei Shibata (72), a.k.a. “Kyo-sama,” in whom Tachi places his complete trust, also expressed his thoughts on “The Abu Detective.

He said, “My body is not as sharp and my legs are not as fast as they used to be. But I think it’s cool to see a man over 70 years old running as hard as he can, even though he’s exhausted.

This film begins with Taka & Yuji, who have retired from detective work and run a detective agency in New Zealand, returning to Yokohama to open a detective agency. In addition, a woman who may be the daughter of one of the two also shows up – and the story begins.

As Shibata said, the duo’s all-out sprinting and flashy action are still present in their latest work. Both actors show off their magnificent body movements with a toughness that makes it hard to believe that they are over 70 years old.
