Nippon TV and Italian production house Casta Diva are working on a local version of Japanese game show, "Man or Mannequin?". 

The team-based format involving celebrity contestants in a race against time to find mannequins hidden throughout the city was one of the paper formats Nippon TV presented at MIPCOM in October last year.

The Italian-option announcement was made on Monday (7 April) by Sayako Aoki, Nippon TV’s head of international sales; and Massimo Righini and Fabio Nesi, COO and CEO of Casta Diva Pictures.

No production timetable has been released.
