Shot in the traditional and beautiful city of Kyoto, My Undead Yokai Girlfriend depicts the extraordinary Japanese folklore of 'Yokai' and 'Otaku', as a strange relationship of love and mystery is sparked between a lonely college student Tadashi who wants nothing more than to find a girlfriend, and Izzy, a Yokai girl who accidentally finds herself bonded to him through a magical hex. But the quirky love story takes an unexpected and gripping twist as the true intention of Izzy is to exact revenge on a human family for an incident from over 500 years ago.
Starring in many popular, high-profile dramas and films, Hayato Sano said, "My Undead Yokai Girlfriend is truly a remarkable series that has everything an actor could hope for in a project, there's romance, drama, comedy, action and horror that make it complete from every aspect. After my debut over nine years ago, I am thrilled to once again work with Takahiro Miki and be part of such a novel and entertaining series that I am certain audiences from all over the world will thoroughly enjoy."
