Series synopsis
Ningen Kowai, also known as にんげんこわい is a Japanese mystery television series that premiered on WOWOW Prime on February 6, 2022. It ended on September 15, 2023. It stars Mizuki Yamamoto, Kitaro, Nao and Minori Hagiwara.
Rakugo has the image of a humorous story, but it is also a treasure trove of “scary stories”. Among them, this work boldly arranges a performance in which "human fear" stands out, and does it in an omnibus format.
There are four rakugo plays that will be drawn as a drama this time: "Kokoro", "Tatsumi's Tsuji Zou", "Konya Takao", and "Miyatogawa (upper / lower)".
