| Overview: | The title of this drama, "kui TAN" is short for "kuishinbou no tantei" or "The Gluttonous Detective". The title pretty much says it all. The main character (played by Higashiyama Noriyuki from the old JOHNNY's group shounentai) is a detective who has an endless appetite, and is constantly eating. He always has food on his mind. Nevertheless, he is a brilliant detective and always solves the case.
The drama begins when he joins a private detective agency generically named "Holmes Agency". There are only two other people who work there. One is a mediocre detective named Ryousuke played by Morita Gou from the JOHNNY's boy group V6. The other is a secretary/assistant named Kyouko (Ichikawa Mikako).
Holmes agency goes poking their noses into police business a lot, and the "kui TAN" solves the cases by finding clues hidden in food. The police chief soon realizes the kui TAN's talent, and allows him to cooperate in police business. But there is also the daughter of an important police official played by Kyouno Kotomi who doesn't care much for the kui TAN or Holmes Agency, and tries to keep them out of police business. She is disliked by most everyone, but people have to listen to her because of who her father is. She also has a bungling sidekick named Igarashi (Sano Shirou) who she is always yelling at. "IGARASHIII!"...
