"GTO" is a popular series depicting the exploits of Onizuka Eikichi, a former legendary leader of a motorcycle gang and now a teacher. The original work was a manga of the same name by Fujisawa Tooru (published by Kodansha). It was made into a TV drama in 1998 starring Sorimachi Takashi. It was later remade starring AKIRA, with the first season airing in 2012 and the second in 2014. In April of this year, a "GTO revival" in which Sorimachi played Onizuka for the first time in 26 years also became a hot topic.
