Characters

A surgeon whose skills are so good that he is called the “laparoscope magician”, but he is stingy. Because he chose money over title and power, his career progression has been slower than his peers.

Yonekura Ryoko as Daimon Michiko
A freelance surgeon. She belongs to Kanbara Akira’s doctors’ agency and moves around various hospitals. She observes working hours strictly, never accepts chores where a medical license is not needed, and is also uninterested in the power struggles characteristic of hospitals. Her fees are several orders of magnitude higher but her skills as a surgeon are topnotch. She has absolute confidence in her own skills. Because she speaks her mind without hesitation or fear of anyone, she does not get on well with the staff of the medical department. She is extremely curt with Kaji Hideki but acknowledges his skills as a surgeon.
Kishibe Ittoku as Kanbara Akira
The director of Good Doctors Agency, which manages freelance doctors like Daimon Michiko. Michiko admires him as a mentor. A man of many mysteries, he used to be a surgeon but was stripped of his license to practice medicine. He is also familiar with the state of affairs of a university hospital and intent on business. His interest is mahjong. He once suffered a serious illness which was beyond operation but his life was saved by Michiko’s surgery.
