Great Pretender - Series Overview:

Self-styled “Japan's greatest swindler,” Makoto Edamura mainly targets elderly people and occasional foreign travelers. But when he tries to scam an apparently clueless French tourist in Tokyo, he never imagined that what looked like another ordinary job would take him to Los Angeles, where he’d find himself tied upside-down on the famous Hollywood sign... yet to find out what fate awaits him!
