LatestIchiro is a PE teacher in 1986 feared by his students for a "tough love" approach, harsh tongue and frequently “inappropriate” behavior. He’s also a dad trying to raise a rebellious daughter after having lost his wife to illness. When he gets transported in time to 2024, he encounters modern sensibilities that teach him about empathy but also gives people of today a reason to rethink their own political correctness in this time traversing comedy about change.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The 'Showa nostalgia' boom in Japanese media often romanticizes authoritarian warmth; this series weaponizes that affection against itself.
Director Fuminori Kaneko insisted on shooting the 1986 scenes with vintage lenses and no digital cleanup, creating genuine visual dissonance when Ichiro hits 2024.
