Jiro Nagakura/Live Action

Jiro Nagakura (永倉二郎, Nagakura Jirō) is Kako Motoya and Mikado Yaguchi's close friend in the live action film Policeman and Me, based on the manga My Boy in Blue. He is portrayed by Daigo Nishihata.

While in the manga, Jiro is Mikado's childhood friend, in the film it is unclear whether or not this is the case.

Appearance
Jiro is a rather short young man, being about as tall as Mikado. He has brunette hair and brown eyes.

The Oto High School uniforms were changed from the manga, having been turned into a typical gakuran, which consists of a black jacket and black pants, with a white shirt underneath. With this outfit he wears a pair of black shoes outside, and a pair of blue and white sneakers inside, which are a part of the school uniform.

According to a throwaway comment made by Kako, Jiro was going to wear a maid outfit for the school festival, however, this was never shown in the film.

Personality
Jiro is a sweet young man with a kind, caring and understanding personality. He is shown to be somewhat protective of Kako, as after the incident when Heisuke Okami accidentally hit her on the head, Jiro is shown keeping an eye on the guy and even pulling Kako away from him with Mikado.

Later on, however, it is also he who seemingly has the closest relationship with Heisuke, as he gets worried for him when he does not show up for school and knows where Heisuke lives.

This soft personality is somewhat contradictory to his manga counterpart, who, whilst still a nice guy who clearly fit into the one-of-the-girls persona, was not nearly as gentle with the girls. The live action version of Jiro might even be more clever than he was portrayed to be in the manga, as he seems to be aware that Kako and Kota Sagano are seeing each other, as evidenced by him cheering Kako on at the end of the film when she went to see Kota.

Background
As Jiro's role has been greatly reduced in the film, nothing was revealed about his background. Because of this, it is not known whether or not he and Mikado are childhood friends like they are in the source material.
