The fifth episode of the TBS Sunday drama "GIFT," starring actor Shinichi Tsutsumi, aired on May 10th, and the average viewership ratings (according to Video Research, Kanto region) were 6.9% for households and 4.3% for individuals.
The drama is set in the world of wheelchair rugby, a parasport, and tells the story of Fumito Gotetsu (played by Tsutsumi), a genius astrophysicist, who finds answers to difficult problems facing a weak team, while learning the importance of friends and family. Yuki Yamada and Kasumi Arimura also appear in the drama.
Episode 5 was broadcast under the title "The end of Chapter One! I will live on here...! A tearful confession and the final battle—".
The Bulls were buzzing with excitement as they prepared for the Memorial Cup. Keijiro (Honda Kyoya) was showing remarkable improvement, and Ryo (Yamada) was beginning to acknowledge his talent. Gotetsu (Tsutsumi) was completely absorbed in tactics. When Sora (Tamamori Yuta) heard from his mother, Hiroe (Yamaguchi Tomoko), that Gotetsu was his father, he went to see Gotetsu and blurted out something he didn't mean.
Meanwhile, Hitoka (Arimura) was unable to go to Bulls practice. This was because she had discovered that Keijiro was a victim of an accident her father had caused 10 years ago... and so the story unfolded.
