IIRC, when the show was confirmed to be filming, he was spotted at the sets in Yusuke’s trademark green outfit. I suppose this is just making what was an open secret official.

Too old. He'd make more sense for the Hollywood Bleach. Whoever did the casting for Battle Royale should be consulted.

Maybe they will change the characters' ages into high schoolers like they did in Tokyo Revengers, where he also starred.

I doubt he can a "How is it hanging fellow kids?" regardless of the cast's class.

That's always been the case with a lot of dramas. They always hire actors who are in their 20s to play characters 10 years younger than them. Same thing happens in a lot of Hollywood productions. Heck, that is how they can get pass age restriction laws for young actors! The only time they will hire actual high schoolers in dramas is if they are a newcomer and it is not a high risk project and they can have the actors develop their acting skills along the way. See any tokusatsu drama franchise as an example. A lot of the actors they cast are inexperienced, the usual experienced actors are part of the support cast.

Ukiya: The series takes place in middle school, not HS.

How much money will they waste until they realise that live action adaptations of anime suck?

Baron: I liked Death Note '06 and Nana. And I hear Guyver and Kenshin and Crying Freeman aren't bad.

The Rurouni Kenshin movies are the only live-actions adaptations of any manga/anime that lived up to their source material. That's how good they are.

They have to be aging them up, or trying to be one of those productions that don't bother in acting like their the age they are.

Hopefully this live-action ends up being reasonably good at least.
