The Royal Family Season 1, Episode 4: Make Debut
Kurisu (Satoshi Tsumabuki) is summoned by trainer Hironaka (Masanobu Ando) to visit a training farm in the Hidaka region. Royal Hope, which Kozo (Koichi Sato) bought for 100 million yen, has been moved to the farm to be trained as a racehorse, but its extreme wariness has left even seasoned staff at a loss, and no jockey can be found to ride it. Amid this, Kurisu and Hironaka place their hopes in a particular individual: Saki (Mahiro Takasugi), a blond jockey from the Iwate racing circuit. However, not only is it difficult for a regional-circuit jockey like Saki to obtain a central racing license, he also caused a certain trouble in the past... Trusting in Saki’s ability, Kurisu persistently negotiates with the help of reporter Taira (Kenjiro Tsuda). Meanwhile, a scandal also comes to light at Royal Human, and Yutaro (Kotaro Koizumi) moves to deal with it... Watch The Royal Family Season 1, Episode 4 Make Debut in HD free online.

Gate in
Eiji Kurisu (Satoshi Tsumabuki), a tax accountant who’s lost his sense of purpose after a career setback, is asked by Royal Human Corporation to investigate its struggling horse racing division. The company’s founder, Kozo Sanno (Koichi Sato), passionately supports the division, but his son Yutaro (Kotaro Koizumi) wants it shut down, while Kozo’s wife Kyoko (Hitomi Kuroki) despises it altogether. Sent to Hokkaido to meet Kozo, Kurisu arrives late and witnesses him lose a prized horse auction to rival owner Yoshihiro Shiina (Ikki Sawamura). Drawn into Kozo’s world, Kurisu encounters a life far removed from his own—and unexpectedly reunites with his former lover, Kanako Nozaki (Wakana Matsumoto), who now works at her family’s farm. After recommending the division’s closure, Kurisu learns from Kanako the harsh realities of horse racing. Inspired by Kozo and Kanako’s passion, he rediscovers his drive and sets out on a new path.

In the order of his duties he meets with Kozo’s wife, Kyoko (Hitomi Kuroki), who despises horse racing. Later, Kozo’s son Yutaro (Kotaro Koizumi) challenges his father to win at least one central race within the year—or abolish the division entirely, citing complaints from the younger employees. Kozo accepts and takes Kurisu to the Miho Training Center to back his prized horse, *Royal Fight*. However, his pushy attitude angers trainer Tadokoro, causing a fallout. Ordered to find a new trainer, Kurisu reconnects with his former lover Kanako (Wakana Matsumoto) in Tokyo, who introduces him to a talented trainer named Hironaka (Masanobu Ando).

The Arima Kinen
Royal Hope kept falling just one step short of victory, but the fans who support him continued growing. However, after the 2017 Arima Kinen, Kurisu (Satoshi Tsumabuki) was surprised by Kozo's (Koichi Sato) decision that next year’s Arima Kinen would be their last and that both he and Royal Hope would retire. This was also announced at the previous family meeting along with suddenly naming Yutaro (Kotaro Koizumi) as the next CEO, both decisions which bewildered Yutaro. Furthermore, after Kozo made a certain confession, Kurisu hurried off to meet Kozo’s secret child, Koichi (Ren Meguro).

Determined to break through, Kurisu pulls Koichi aside for a heart-to-heart, and the truth finally comes pouring out. What Koichi reveals shocks everyone, including veteran trainer Hironaka. But the real bombshell comes when Koichi makes an unexpected proposal, leaving both Kurisu and Kozo speechless.

The two become friends, and Koichi finds himself drawn to Nobuyuki’s progressive ideas aimed at breaking traditional rules in the horse racing world. Meanwhile, although Royal Family wins its debut race, his performance soon slumps. Trying to turn things around, Koichi makes a bold proposal, but Hironaka opposes it, causing divisions within Team Royal. Kurisu begins to sense an unprecedented challenge in managing the situation.
