2026 NHK Taiga Drama Revealed
Toyotomi Kyodai - Centering on Hashiba (Toyotomi) Hidenaga!
The annual NHK year-long historical Taiga Drama TV series for 2026 has been announced as “Toyotomi Kyodai”, The Toyotomi Brothers, referring to Toyotomi Hideyoshi and his younger brother and right hand man, Toyotomi (Hashiba) Hidenaga. While Toyotomi Hideyoshi has been the subject of the series numerous times, this already appears to be of great public interest as Hidenaga, younger half-brother of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and one of the men seen as the keys to Hideyoshi’s successes, is going to be the feature character. Already the role of Hidenaga, and at this stage only Hidenaga, has been revealed as the aptly named 31 year old actor, Nakano Taiga.
