The staff of the live-action Tsuri Baka Nisshi Season 2 sequel television series announced on Friday that voice actor Kouichi Yamadera will guest star in the show's final episode on June 16. Yamadera starred in 2002-2003 Tsuri Baka Nisshi (Diary of a Fishing Fool) television anime series as protagonist Densuke Hamasaki (Hama-chan). Yamadera will play the manager of a fishing goods shop in the live-action series.
Gaku Hamada (live-action Space Brothers' Yasushi Furuya, live-action Nobunaga Concerto's Tokugawa Ieyasu) stars in the live-action sequel series as Hama-chan.
The second season also had a crossover episode with the Kodoku no Gourmet live-action series last month.
The show's second season premiered on April 21. The first season premiered in October 2015.
The Tsuri Baka Nisshi live-action show and manga both follow Densuke "Hama-chan" Hamasaki, an unavaricious white-collar worker who does not have any interest in success and self-protection. Even though he incurs the wrath of his superior and stirs ill feelings from his wife, Hama-chan prefers to take things at his own stride and goes fishing. He feels that there are more important things in life than work and enjoys the simple things in life such as fishing.
Juzo Yamasaki and Kenichi Kitami launched the manga series in Shogakukan's Big Comic Original magazine in 1979. Shogakukan released the 96th compiled book volume on March 30. The manga inspired 22 live-action films between 1988-2009.
