Takuya Tsuru of the comedy duo "La Parfait," known as an impersonator "officially approved" by Hiroshi Abe, has released a parody visual of Nozaki Mamoru, played by Abe, for the TBS Sunday drama "VIVANT" (Sundays at 9pm).
Immediately after a new visual of Nozaki was released on the official Twitter account for "VIVANT" (@TBS_VIVANT), Tsuru released a parody visual of Nozaki.
Nozaki's visual is a back view with his head bowed and a slight smile on his face, but the "fake Nozaki"'s visual is facing directly towards the viewer and appears to be shouting something.
On social media, comments such as "That's not Abe!" and "I've been fooled!" were flying around, as were some who speculated, "Nozaki's expression makes it seem like he has a split personality."
