Series Synopsis

In his first drama, 15-sai no Blues, Tegoshi plays a rather miserable 15 year old boy named Sanada Kohei. Kohei is in the third year of junior high school, and he is constantly being bullied by three of his classmates, one who happens to like the same girl that he does. This girl is also a classmate of his, and Kohei secretly takes pictures of her with a miniature camera.

Along with a troubled school life, Kohei doesn't get very good grades. His family life isn't too great either, with an overprotective and doting mother, a serious and nerdy sister, and a father who doesn't even look at his family. The only company he keeps is that of flowers, and he keeps many flower pots in his room that he keeps good care of.

Kohei has already gone through ten tutors by the time that the drama takes place. Hip-hop singer ZEEBRA plays Shunsaku, his newest tutor. Shunsaku not the usual kind of tutor; he's a bit perverted and will throw Kohei around and hit him when he's being difficult (which is most of the time).

Ultimately, it's Shunsaku's influence that changes Kohei. (Credit to Tegoshi-Yuya.com)
