Towards the end of the Edo era, in the town of Kyoto, there lived a wealthy merchant by the name of Imai Tadamasa. He was blessed with 3 children, Hatsu, Asa and Kyutaro. His eldest, Hatsu, was a traditional girl who loved to play the koto and sew. Whilst his second daughter, Asa, was an impish hoyden who loved sumo wrestling. Asa was engaged to be married to the second son of a distinguished family who ran a money changer business in Osaka, Shirooka Shinjiro.

Yoshitaro Katayama (Masaki Aiba) became a police detective after having followed the will of his father who had been known as a great detective. However, Yoshitaro can never step into murder scenes because he faints whenever he sees blood, and criminals are able to easily slip away because he is afraid of heights. He also has phobias of women and ghosts. Moreover, he hates to doubt people more than anything, so he happens to believe whatever people say. Thus, Yoshitaro has tried, in vain, to quit his job a number of times in the past, but his brother Hiroshi (Naohito Fujiki), who loves mystery novels, and his super active sister Harumi (Aya Omasa) always manage to convince him to remain as a detective. One day, hopeless Yoshitaro finds a calico cat that somehow understands what people say and sometimes shows great reasoning power. With the help of strange hints given by this cat, Yoshitaro luckily succeeds in solving the cases.

A program that thoroughly investigates the little “differences” in the world that often make one wonder.

It’s a fact. There are hopeless human beings who exist in society and while they may be referred to as being “OUTcasts” from the general public’s perspective, they remain true to themselves, in honesty, more so than the general public. In fact, this may be exactly why they have become these “OUTcasts”. After all, many legendary scholars or artists seemed to have lost their common sense or stood out from society in general. There is only a fine line between those on the outside and those on the inside. Hosts Matsuko Deluxe and Hiroyuki Yabe will guide you through this cheerful talk variety show, rooting for the underdogs!
