Fans of gritty police stories and hip-hop culture have something big to look forward to — ABEMA’s original series “警視庁麻薬取締課 MOGURA” will debut globally on Netflix starting March 13, 2025.

Already a hit in Japan, MOGURA fuses intense crime drama with the raw energy of rap music, drawing inspiration from a real-life account shared by rapper 漢 a.k.a. GAMI. The series follows the gripping story of a skilled rapper who works undercover as a police officer, penetrating a circle of artists to expose a drug ring.

At the heart of the story is Hannya, a major name in Japan’s hip-hop scene, portraying officer Shokichi Izanagi — a man torn between duty and the dangers of undercover work. His performance has received widespread acclaim for its realism and emotional weight.

The cast also features powerful performances from Riko Narumi, Kaito Yoshimura, Kuroudo Maki, Mitsuru Fukikoshi, and Shunsuke Kazama, bringing to life the gritty, high-stakes world of MOGURA.
