It has been revealed that actor Ryo Narita will appear in the live-action adaptation of 'Oshi no Ko.' Narita plays Goro Amamiya (commonly known as Goro), a pivotal character at the start of the story. Goro, influenced by a certain girl, becomes a devoted fan of Ai (played by Asuka Saito), the ace of the idol group B-Komachi, but ends up being her obstetrician when she becomes pregnant.

The newly released character PV showcases various scenes: Goro cherishing Ai's merchandise, playfully goofing around, being shocked when Ai, now pregnant, appears as a patient, resolving to be her doctor, getting caught up in an extraordinary situation, and finally, closing with a narration filled with Goro's intense desire for revenge following Ai's demise.

Narita, who has appeared in numerous films and TV dramas and won various movie awards, notably performed as the heroine's husband in the NHK morning drama series 'Ochoyan' (2021). He currently stars as a detective investigating the kidnapping and abandonment of child victims in the ongoing drama 'Falling Snow, Lonely Death' (Yomiuri TV).

In this film, Narita uses his polished acting skills to portray Goro's complex emotions, ranging from love for Ai to determination and vengeance.
