＜Rita Suzuki’s role:

Character introduction:
A high school student who was raised as a descendant of a ninja by his grandfather.
He has a mysterious ability to converse with animals from birth, and has the kindness to reach out to the dogs and cats in the neighborhood.
He is crude and quick to fight, but at heart he has a caring and obligatory personality.
After encountering Rataku, he was involved in the battle with the “monster monster” and became a member of the Kogi Secret Station “Black Torch”.

Cast comments:
The characters in “BLACK TOCH” are cool and cute, and I was fascinated by Takaki’s drawing skills and a dazzling story development. It is an honor to be involved in a work that is loved across the sea. I would like to do my best to live my life as Agatsuma Niro, so please take care of it! !

＜Ratasu: Joji Ueda＞

Character introduction:
At first glance, he is just a black cat, but he is a legendary monster who was once feared by the nickname of “Black Star”.
He lost a lot of memory and power due to the long seal, and he only fragmented past events.
He likes loneliness and stands out, but he has a deep affection and an intelligent side.
Nishiro saves him from the dying place in the attack of a monster that aims at its mighty power, and they take action together.

Cast comments:
I am happy and pressured to play an important role. I think it’s a good action and catharsis, but I feel a good response from the recording.
You can’t see it! It’s a work. Thank you very much.

He has a strong hostility to the monster, and has a rigorous attitude towards Niro, who acts with Rataku.
He is determined and serious, has a strong sense of justice and a sense of responsibility.

Cast comments:
We are recording it with the hope that we can deliver the strength and coolness of Ichika’s core and the cuteness that appears and disappear to everyone!
We are working together with the directors, including Takaki-sensei, so please look forward to the broadcast! !

A rookie member who was assigned to the Secret Office “Black Torch”.
The heir to the Kirihara family, a concealed family, and a user of the “Kirihara-ryu Zanjutsu” that has been inherited from him.

He treats women like a gentleman, and behind them has unwavering pride and determination.

Cast comments:
My name is Junya Enoki and I will be the voice of Reiji Kirihara.
When I read the original, I felt that it was a very lively work, as if the movements of the manga pictures were visualized in my head.
I think it will be a cool piece of work.
Look forward to it!
