Great Teacher Onizuka is a dramatic (dorama) program based on a manga published in Shonen magazine starting in 1997. The manga also inspired a popular anime program.

The series follows the adventures of Eikichi Onizuka, a former gang member who stumbles into a teaching job at Holy Forest Academy. His rough but caring disposition causes problems for the administration while winning over the students and faculty.

At the time, the series finale was the highest-rated program in history on Japanese television.
