Proof of the Man

This crime thriller follows a Japanese detective, Takeshi Munesue (played by Yutaka Takenouchi), as he investigates the murder of a Black American man found dead in a Tokyo hotel. Munesue partners with a New York detective to unravel the mystery, delving into the victim’s complex past and secrets that stretch across Japan and the U.S. As they piece together clues, the detectives confront their own pasts and prejudices, exploring themes of identity, racism, and justice. The show is based on Seicho Matsumoto's 1976 novel, with some modern adaptations for the series.
