Kokumin Kuizu" Reiichi Sugimoto,Shinkichi Kato/OHTA Publishing Company

Get ready for the next ultimate dystopian entertainment experience with Quiztopia, a new series adapted from the cult-favorite manga "Kokumin Kuizu." Originally written by Reiichi Sugimoto and illustrated by Shinkichi Kato, the manga was serialized in 1993 and became a rare find until its reissue by Ohta Publishing Company due to high demand.

Set in an alternate Japan, the narrative revolves around a government-sanctioned quiz show with supreme authority, as established by the Japanese Constitution. Contestants who win have any wish granted by the government, but those who lose face severe consequences, such as fines, forced labor or conscription. This deadly game tests participants' resolve to pursue their deepest desires.

Takayuki Yamada (Ushijima the Loan Shark, Crows Zero, The Naked Director) stars as the charismatic quiz host who captivates audiences with his exceptional performance skills and enthralls the nation. When a group of dissidents aiming to overthrow the system confronts him, a frenzy begins to unfold, setting the stage for a tale of ambition, rebellion and human nature.

The series is directed by Teruyuki Yoshida, known for his work on Amachan, NEO - Office Chuckles, and The 13 Lords of the Shogun. The screenplay is co-written by Director Yoshida and Magy, who has been involved in writing for dramas, films, and stage plays, including Criminologist Himura and Mystery Writer Arisugawa and #BeMyFamily. Executive producer Shinichi Takahashi (City Hunter, Tokyo Swindlers) and chief producer Akira Morii (Alice in Borderland, Yu Yu Hakusho) also bring their expertise to this thrilling adaptation.

Stay tuned for more updates on Quiztopia, coming soon on Netflix.
