Taichi Shiozaki attends ‘Mou Papa!’ production announcement

Taichi Shiozaki, a member of the group M!LK, appeared at a production announcement press conference for the upcoming ABC TV drama ‘Mou Papa!’. The series, written by Erika Yoshida, is scheduled to begin broadcasting on October 4, 2026.

Shiozaki will portray Shunya, a video streamer and childhood friend of the character Noriko, played by Nanoka Hara. During the event, Shiozaki discussed his character development process, including experimenting with hair color and accessories like bandanas to differentiate his persona during video streaming versus personal interactions.

At the conference, Shiozaki also shared humorous anecdotes, including being nicknamed ‘Shoki Soubi Niki’ (Initial Equipment Guy) due to his habit of wearing black T-shirts and shorts to filming sets. He noted that this preference is so well-known that he recently received several high-end black T-shirts as birthday gifts.
