[Cast comment]

Kenta Kawai: Takuya Eguchi

Anyway, the power of Mr. Koji played by Mr. Okitsu is amazing!
Every time, I was pulled by Mr. Okitsu’s power, and the heat of the site was ridiculous.
I couldn’t help but look forward to the weekly recordings.
Please enjoy the many expressions that come out from the scene where laughter never stops…!

Wataru Naruto: Yuki Kaji

Congrats on the long-awaited animation!
Originally, I knew the loveliness of Pugtaro, so I can’t wait for the future where he moves and speaks.

She’s younger than Koji-san, but Naruto-kun is still a good old man.
Because of my age, which I didn’t usually have a lot of opportunities to perform, I honestly felt like I should do my best as a commemorative exam.

As a regular appearance, I played the role suitable for the first time in my life and playful.
Please look forward to the broadcast!

Masumi Nii as: Ayumu Murase

When I read the original, I found it interesting that both the teacher’s warm touch and the momentum of the tsukkomi are both interesting.
And Pugtaro and the uncle who loves it are too cute! !
Even in the anime, the scene progressed with that atmosphere. Please look forward to it!
