The story
Actress Yuhi Matsuda appeared on TOKYO MX’s “5-ji ni Muchu!” on the 30th and revealed that she’s “a little annoyed” when people say the catchphrase “Nanja koriya” to her — the line most associated with her late father, actor Yusaku Matsuda, from his role in the cop drama “Taiyo ni Hoero” (“Bark at the Sun”). Matsuda passed away in 1989, but the famous last words of his character G-Pan, the jeans-wearing detective, are still vividly remembered today. On 5ch, users debated the exact wording of the line he actually said, along with the story of comedian Naoto Takenaka getting scolded for doing the impression right in front of Matsuda himself.

Actress and artist Yuhi Matsuda appeared live as a guest commentator on TOKYO MX’s “5-ji ni Muchu!” (weekdays at 5 PM) on the 30th, where she brought up her father, Yusaku Matsuda.
Matsuda, filling in as the Wednesday regular in place of Mie Nakao, was asked about that day’s live viewer poll topic, “Have you ever gotten genuinely angry about something in entertainment?” She answered, “It’s not that I’m genuinely angry, but, you know, people do impressions of my dad — I see it a lot,” referencing the famous line “Nanja koriya!” from the death scene of his character G-Pan in his signature role in “Taiyo ni Hoero.”

What people said
Back then it was a huge catchphrase among kids too
"Nanja koriya!"
it's
"Nanjaa~ koriyaa~!"
that's the real deal
If you listen closely, it's actually more like "Nan da kore wa~!" ("What IS this~!")
but in the original he spits it out more like "Nanjaa koriyaa!?"
but I actually prefer the "BUUUUUUUUU!!" one
He does that one in "Taiyo ni Hoero," "Tantei Monogatari," and "Daitokai 2" too, I think
and when I reenacted the whole bit, acting and all, right up to the "nanja koriyaa~"
she was totally hooked
made me do it over and over
even kids today get into it lol
sounds like something a half-baked comedian with no material of their own would do

That's from the opening of the drama "Tantei Monogatari"
he doesn't actually say "Nanjaa koriyaa!?" when he sees the blood
Apparently it was an ad-lib direction that turned into a famous line, but personally I don't think it was great acting
but when I watched the BS rerun, it was a shock to see he's just making and drinking coffee
You're mixing that up with Shoken's "Kizudarake no Tenshi" ("Scarred Angel").
Background and Key Points of This Topic
“Nanja koriyaa” is the line famously known for being uttered by actor Yusaku Matsuda during his death scene playing the detective nicknamed G-Pan in the 1972 cop drama “Taiyo ni Hoero” (“Bark at the Sun”). Several commenters in the thread pointed out that the precise wording isn’t “nanja koriyaa” but rather “nanjaa koriyaa,” showing a gap between how the line is popularly remembered and what was actually said. Other replies confused it with memories of a different show, “Tantei Monogatari” (“Detective Story”), including a correction noting it was being mixed up with a performance by actor Shoken (Ken Hagiwara). Yusaku Matsuda died of illness in 1989 — not as the result of an accident or incident. A daughter’s complicated feelings about impressions of her father can be read as a struggle shared by the families of actors known for one iconic catchphrase.
