Daitsuiseki (大追跡) was a Japanese comedy-action police TV series. It starred regulars Yūzō Kayama, Masaya Oki, Tatsuya Fuji, Naomi Hase, and Kyohei Shibata, with Fumio Watanabe as a semi-regular. It ran for twenty-six episodes in 1978 and won popularity.[1] It is noted for the ad-libbing and jokes by the cast and staff, which became more frequent as the show wore on.
Kyohei Shibata appeared as regular cast for the first time in TV drama series.[2]
The final episode was directed by Toru Murakawa who was simultaneously directing the film Satsujin Yūgi featuring Yūsaku Matsuda and Yutaka Nakajima, and thus pulled them in for cameo roles.
