As strange as it sounds, the role of live-action Doraemon will be played by none other than international film star Jean Reno (Léon: The Professional, Onimusha 3: Demon Siege) in the next Toyota ad.
The ad campaign—featuring Satoshi Tsumabuki as Nobita and Naoya Ogawa as Gian—was initially teased with pictures last week before the first commercial debuted. In addition to adding Jean Reno as the titular robotic cat with the transdimensional pouch, NEWS band member Tomohisa Yamashita will play Nobita's friend Suneo, and Asami Mizukawa will play his female friend Shizuka.
