Night Hero NAOTO is the first original drama created by and starring NAOTO.
Description[]
One night at a park, NAOTO witnesses 3 young people attacking a homeless person. Naoto can't ignore the situation, but he also can't reveal his identity, which is being a member of the boy group EXILE. At that time, NAOTO sees a mask in his bag. He puts on the mask and tries to save the homeless person. However, he is unable to beat the 3 young men and gets in trouble. At that time, female high school student Shiori (Kuroshima Yuina) who happens to be there saves NAOTO. Shiori then asks him to take on bad people together.
This drama follows NAOTO on his quest to protect the socially vulnerable while keeping it a secret from the public and his fellow EXILE members.
