You can see the comments from the new additions below.
Ko Bonkohara (as Shinji Makishima):
“Hello! I’m Ko Bonkohara, playing Shinji Makishima! Since the audition, I kept wondering, ‘Who could possibly land such an eccentric role?’ Turns out, it was me! Haha!
Danjoru is a story filled with the real, raw emotions of high school students, for better or worse. I can’t wait to see what kind of chaos Makishima will bring to the mix! Look forward to it!”
Masaaki Mizunaka (as Hibari Inuzuka):
“Despite the comedic chaos, this is a dazzling youth story. As the story progresses, you can really feel the emotional shifts of each character, which made me more and more immersed in the world of this series.
Himari is a very lively character who adores uu a little too much, often letting his energy and words spiral in unpredictable ways. But when the moment calls for it, he can say the perfect thing, and that contrast makes him so interesting. He’s overflowing with personality, and I want to bring out all those unique aspects in my performance!
Hisako Kanemoto (as Sakura Natsume):
“The delicate emotions of these characters feel like watching the ripples of clear water—there’s a beauty in observing their emotional ups and downs.
Within this world, I play Sakura, Yu’s older sister, who watches over him with both kindness and… a lot of tough love! She’s all about the balance of discipline and care. I hope everyone enjoys the anime as much as I enjoyed bringing this character to life!”
The two main characters were previously featured on the teaser visual.
