Key Points of This Release

Brand movie "Doctor Yokoi" starring Hidekazu Mashima and Mio Tomita will be released on July 1, 2026 (Wed.).

A special website will open concurrently with the release. In addition to the full movie, making-of footage including interviews with both actors, and "voices of gratitude" from patients will also be released.

This brand movie tells a story that depicts the daily life and thoughts of Doctor Yokoi, played by Hidekazu Mashima, from the perspective of nurse NISHINO, played by Mio Tomita, and asks the question of finding a doctor you can say, "I'm glad I found this doctor."

When choosing a medical institution, are we truly able to make a choice we are satisfied with? In an age overflowing with information, it is increasingly important to choose a medical institution based not only on conditions but also on "trust between people." However, consultation times are limited, and patients rarely have the opportunity to learn about the doctor's background and thoughts.

Brand Movie Story

In the examination room, the patient sits in a chair, harboring anxiety. How much time has been accumulated for the few minutes of consultation that are about to begin? The patient has almost no opportunity to know this. Studying late into the night. Experience gained through trial and error. The responsibility that accompanies each decision. The person who watched the doctor, played by Hidekazu Mashima, most closely was the nurse, played by Mio Tomita.

"As a doctor,

I wish that everyone's wishes, daily lives, and passion,

all of it could be conveyed to everyone...

I sometimes think."

The patient visits the clinic with anxiety. The doctor tries to address that anxiety. However, that feeling is not always conveyed with the same strength. Within a mere few minutes of consultation, some things the doctor truly wanted to convey, or the background they wanted the patient to know, can be lost. Even so, the doctor faces each individual patient every day. If only they could know, even a little, about the accumulation of effort. If they could touch upon the person's character.

Then, surely, the patient would think:

"I'm glad I found this doctor."

This movie is a story that connects "thoughts yet to be encountered" from the perspective of the nurse, played by Mio Tomita, who warmly watches over and supports the doctor, played by Hidekazu Mashima.

Brand Movie Overview

To coincide with the release of the brand movie, a special website will also open on July 1, 2026 (Wed.).

On the website, in addition to the full movie, making-of footage including interviews with Mashima and Tomita, centered on the theme of "trust between doctors and patients," will be released.

Also, "voices of gratitude" from patients nationwide to medical institutions, collected on the medical information site "Doctors File," are currently being published.

About the Music Used

This brand movie features Tamio Okuda's "Sanpomichi" (JUDY AND MARY cover). This song is loved by a wide range of generations, including doctors around the age of 60, and has a worldview that is naturally accepted by the public. The visuals depict everyday scenes throughout the four seasons, overlaid with the doctor's daily consultations. It portrays not only warmth but also the attitude of moving forward while facing doubts and struggles, expressing the doctor not as a special being, but as a person who faces patients every day. The worldview of connection and kindness in "Sanpomichi" overlaps with the message of this movie.

Comments and Profiles of Mashima and Tomita

Role of Doctor Yokoi: Hidekazu Mashima Profile

Born in Yonezawa City, Yamagata Prefecture. Debuted as the lead in director Sang-il Lee's film "Blue ~chong~" in 1999. With acting that combines sensitivity and presence, he is active in a wide range of films, dramas, and stage productions. Major works include the NHK Taiga drama "Kirin ga Kuru," "Berabo," MBS "#Izakaya Shinkansen," and he will also appear in Fuji TV's "Sayonara Noir" starting in July. He has gained high support for his refined demeanor and natural acting.

Mashima's Comment:

I would be happy if the "natural and empathetic doctor image" that the director depicted within the limited runtime could be conveyed even a little.

Through this filming, I felt that I wanted more people to know about the wonderful service called Doctors File.

Role of Nurse Nishino: Mio Tomita Profile

Born in 2000 in Iwaki City, Fukushima Prefecture. Her acting career began in 2015 after being selected as a main cast member in the audition for the movie "Solomon's Perjury," which involved 10,000 participants. Recent major works include the movie "Minato ni Tomo ga Tomoru," NHK serial TV novel "Buzzer Beat," and NTV "Daga, Jōnetsu wa Aru." She is currently performing in the stage play "The End of the World and the Hard-Boiled Wonderland" in five countries.

Tomita's Comment:

What was impressive during filming was that Mashima-san practiced the moonwalk, which is in the movie, over and over again. It overlapped with the image of a doctor who, though a little clumsy, carefully faces patients. If I may be so bold, he was very charming. I was also in charge of the narration for this project, and I felt that all the scattered words contained colorful wishes. I spun this narrative with the many scenes that were etched in my heart during filming from a nurse's perspective, with the hope that it would alleviate some of the anxiety and tension for those visiting hospitals.

Role of Doctors File

Doctors File is one of Japan's largest medical information sites where you can search for information on clinics, hospitals, and doctors nationwide based on your physical symptoms and concerns.

In addition to conditions such as region, specialty, and consultation hours, you can also search for suitable medical institutions and doctors by symptom, disease name, or examination name.

When choosing a hospital or clinic, conditions are not the only important factor.

What kind of doctor will be examining you? What are their thoughts on medical practice? Do they seem like they will face your concerns?

Doctors File has conducted extensive independent interviews with doctors nationwide, conveying their treatment policies, specialized fields, backgrounds that led them to medicine, and how they approach patients.

By delivering the "personality" that cannot be seen from conditions alone, we aim to foster patient understanding and trust.

Doctors File supports encounters where you can think, "I want this doctor to treat me."
